Specifications

Driveway and Installation Planning

Measure the finished driveway opening before ordering. Installation dimensions must account for gate width, hinge clearances, center spacing, latch hardware, supporting posts, and ground clearance.

Provide sufficient swing space for both gate leaves and verify that the driveway grade will not interfere with their movement. Supporting posts and foundations should be sized for the gate’s dimensions, weight, operating frequency, soil conditions, and local wind exposure.

Professional installation is recommended, particularly for automated entrances or sloped driveways.

Automation and Safety

Select a dual-swing gate operator rated for the dimensions and weight of each gate leaf. Automated systems should include compatible safety sensors, monitored entrapment protection, emergency-release provisions, and appropriately positioned access controls.

When connecting the gate to pet or livestock fencing, verify that the decorative openings and lower clearance are appropriate for the animals being contained.
