Exposed Rollers
All weight bearing exposed rollers 8 feet (2.44 m), or less,
above grade shall be guarded or covered
Guarding or Screening Gate Openings
All openings shall be designed, guarded, or screened
from the bottom of the gate to the top of the gate or a
minimum of 72 inch (1.83 m) above grade, whichever is
less, to prevent a 2 1/4 inch (57 mm) diameter sphere from
passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and
in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in
the open position. The gate panel shall include the entire
section of the moving gate, including any back frame or
counterbalance portion of the gate.
Gaps Between Gate Frames and Other Objects
A gap, measured in the horizontal plane parallel to the
roadway, between a fixed stationary object nearest the
roadway (such as a gate support post) and the gate frame
when the gate is in either the fully open position or the
fully closed position, shall not exceed 2 1/4 inch (57 mm).
Exception: All other fixed stationary objects greater than
16 inch (406 mm) from the gate frame shall not be required
to comply with this section.
Class I, Class II and Class III Gate Stops
Positive stops shall be required to limit travel to the
designed fully open and fully closed positions. These stops
shall be installed at either the top of the gate, or at the
bottom of the gate where such stops shall horizontally or
vertically project no more than is required to perform their
intended function.
Gate Lateral Stability
All gates shall be designed with sufficient lateral stability
to assure that the gate will enter a receiver guide. Consult
ASTM F2200 for details on various gate panel types.

Avoiding Entrapment Areas
Gates shall be designed, constructed and installed so as
not to create an entrapment area between the gate and the
supporting structure or other fixed object when the gate
moves toward the fully open position, subject to the following
provisions.
Open Gate Size Restrictions
The width of an object (such as a wall, pillar or column) covered
by a swing gate when in the open position shall not exceed 4
inch (102 mm), measured from the centerline of the pivot point
of the gate. Exception: For a gate that is not in compliance
with this provision, the defined area shall be subject to the
entrapment protection provisions of UL 325.
Open Gate Minimum Distance to Objects
Except for the zone specified in Open Gate Size Restriction
(above) the distance between a fixed object such as a wall, pillar
or column, and a swing gate when in the open position shall
not be less than 16 inch (406 mm). Exception: For a gate that
is not in compliance with this provision, the defined area shall
be subject to the entrapment protection provisions of UL 325.
Class IV Installations
Class IV vehicular horizontal swing gates shall be designed,
constructed and installed in accordance with security related
parameters specific to the application in question.
MAINTENANCE OF GATE SYSTEMS
To keep your automated gate system performing both safely
and reliably it is important to ensure that the components of
that system are functioning properly. At least monthly:
GATE TRAVEL TESTING
Disconnect the gate operator and manually move the gate
through its range of travel. Note any squeaks from rollers or
hinges or areas of binding. The gate should travel smoothly
and quietly throughout its range. If it does not, contact a gate
professional to correct the problem.
SAFETY DEVICE TESTING
Reconnect gate operator and perform the following tests:
