Base of Swing and Slide Gate
OK Not Allowed
All Gates must have smooth bottom edges, no protrusions
should exist. If gate hardware or sensors protrude, they
must have smooth surfaces free of any sharp cutting edges
that do not exceed ½ inch beyond the base of the gate.

Gate Frame and Adjacent Fence Area
If gaps (xxx)
between vertical
bars of the gate or
fence are less
than 2 1/4", no
further screening
is required.
For gaps (xxx)
equal to or larger
than 2 1/4", a wire
mesh screen must
be applied to the
gate. Wire mesh
screen openings
must be smaller
than 2 1/4". The
minimum height of
wire mesh screen:
6 ft. above grade.
Slide Gate Openings Guidelines
Openings of a horizontal slide gate must be smaller than 2 1/4"
or else be guarded or screened. These design rules apply to
both the moving gate as well as the portion of adjacent fence
that the gate covers in the open position (UL 325: 56.8.4.a.2
and ASTM F2200: 6.1.2). See Illustrations below.
Slide Gate Spacing Guidelines
Slide Gate Gaps
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 ¼ in.. Exception: All
other fixed stationary objects greater than
16 in. from the gate frame shall not be
required to comply with this section.
(ASTM F2200: 6.1.4)
Swing Gate Clearance Guidelines
With the hinge mounted on
the corner of the pilaster, the
entrapment area is
eliminated and protection is
not required for this area.

Getting Started with Swing and Slide Gate Operator Safety
• Only install the operator on gates used for vehicular trafc.
• A separate pedestrian entry/exit must be clearly visible to promote
pedestrian usage and located so pedestrians do not come in contact
with the vehicular gate while it is moving.
• Install two independent entrapment protection devices protecting
each entrapment zone.
• Pickets of a slide gate must be designed or screened to prevent
persons from reaching through, or passing through a gate.
See your owner’s manual for complete details regrading your LiftMaster®Perimeter Access Solution.
Always design, install and maintain safe gate access systems in accordance with UL 325 & ASTM F2200 standards
