I see a wheel.

its on wheels and will lock into place on the other side. my sister has designed a few like this before, its bespoke meaning u have to have is specially made.

My builder put wheels on the gate/partition. One on each end.
It's one of my favorite things from the renovation.

Mine has wheels & slides into a pocket. I can take more pics if you like.

I just replaced a circular staircase with a full set of steps along a narrow hallway. Now I have to worry about the baby (or one of us?!) falling down the steps! This would be the perfect solution. How do I tell my contractor to do that before he leaves?

Hi @steelylsu Steelylsu! I love the hidden pocket doggy/kiddie gate. Can you give more details of the hardware you used for the the track? I am assuming you have two wheels (front and back) but you have some bracket to keep it from swaying side to side. Also if you have any additional pictures of the "construction" phase, that would be great! You can email me at yuhoo22@gmail.com if that makes it easier.

Added by the homeowner, dont have any other pics than these.

Shouldn't be too difficult to do-all you need is a slot in the wall that does not have any obstructions like electrical. You could convert an existing pocket door opening and close in the exposed upper part of the pocket. - otherwise you're starting from scratch. Note: pocket door frames usually will have a bumper mounted inside the frame to cushion the door as it recedes and prevent it from going too far into the pocket. You can solve this issue by adding bumpers to the end of the door instead. You probably want the pocket deep enough for the door to fully recede. A latch will need to be installed on the outside end of the gate to pull the door out and if required, lock it. You can use half of a slab door or make your "gate". The size may depend on what you are trying to keep out - too low and it could be climbed over or jumped over. Install quality fixed wheels on the bottom to carry the weight load. (These wheels will also have to be able to fit into the pocket opening! ) If you want glass inserts, the glass will have to be tempered and therefore heavier. A thick acrylic or plexiglass might be the better option if you want to be able to see through the gate). In order to place the "gate" into the pocket, you may be able to slide one end in first - if not, stand it up in the opening and gradually lower one end into the pocket. Install some flat screen moulding on the side jams so when the gate is pulled across, it will have full vertical support on both sides. (This will help prevent pushing the gate forward or pulling it back as well as the gate being accidentally pulled out of the pocket). Run the screen moulding all the way up to the top on both sides and paint it out to visually blend into the door jambs. Plastic pocket door guides installed at the bottom on the pocket opening will help the door glide straighter as it's pulled out.

If this seems too much work, and you have the swing room, you could also hang a half slab door using standard door hinges. Think "dutch door" without the upper half!
