Retractable Safety Wall Queue Barrier With Tuff Tex Black Finished (96" Black)

I use this wall barrier to keep my 91 year old mother who has severe dementia from wandering out to the living room at night, where it is dark and usually colder than her bedroom. I mounted it across from the bathroom at the end of a hall so that she can get to the bathroom at night, but not wander away from there. I considered getting the wooden type that keeps kids and dogs out of an area, but Mom sees the barrier, and that's enough. She's too old to go under it without falling down. And, to her, it's like a sign telling her to go back to bed. I put it up at night, and take it down in the morning. You can't even see it coming from the living room down the hall because it's mounted on each side behind load-bearing parts of the hall walls. This is simple, fast, and much cheaper than the wood accordion type.

We needed to section off part of our hallway in a commercial building as a visual aid to remind people not to enter during certain hours. It was long and sturdy enough to hold up to that. 2 months in and it's still working well.

Did it’s job

The retractable wall barrier works great. It was installed a little over a month and In our high traffic area we are constantly entering and exiting and the black belt retracts perfectly each time. The 'VIP" labeling on the top has become a fun conversation piece. For the price and well made construction, this was a worthwhile office investment

Used for controlling customer traffic from public counter to office area. Installed easy and works as advertised
