DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS WHEN GATE IS IN A TIGHT AREA

When the safety gate is to be mounted in a tight space, such as a corner or a narrow catwalk area, the designer must be aware of both the rise and the kick-out caused by the swing rotation of the self-closing swing gate. This is depicted in the below drawings.

Please allow for as much room as possible so that the gate can swing fully open. However if space is tight, then try to provide at least a 4″ – 6″ corner so that the gate can swing open as much as 75° – 90°.
