Description
A prefabricated, spring-closing gate for openings in 48.3mm tube handrail. It arrives with fully welded hinges and can be set up left or right hand. The spring pulls it shut after every use, so it suits openings people pass through often. The price is for one.

Why it works
Closes itself. The sprung hinges pull the gate shut behind each person, so an opening is not left standing open.
Ready welded. The hinges are already welded on, which saves fabrication on site.
Cut to fit. The horizontal rails can be cut down to suit almost any size of gap.
Where it is used
- Plant platforms and roof walkways
- Openings in tube handrail that are used often
- Stairheads and mezzanine edges
Choosing the right size
Match the gate to the tube of your handrail. Measure the outside of the tube: 42.4mm and 48.3mm are the two sizes in this range.
| Gate | Tube | Weight | Choose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42.4mm gate | 42.4mm | 17 kg | View |
| 48.3mm gate | 48.3mm | 22 kg | This one |
Fitting and care
Set the gate in its closed position, then turn the bolt half a turn, clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on which way it should swing. Do not over-tension it, because that damages the spring. If you cut the rails, treat the cut ends with a zinc-rich paint. Have the finished guarding checked by a competent person where it protects a drop.
Frequently asked questions
Are the posts included?
No, it is designed to work with ready-made tube posts with a finished height of 1100mm, sold separately.
Can it open either way?
Yes, it can be made left or right hand, and the bolt setting decides the swing direction.
Can I make it narrower?
Yes, the horizontal rails can be cut to suit almost any size of gap.
How do I set the spring?
With the gate closed, turn the bolt half a turn in the direction of swing. Do not over-tension it.
