SAFETY GATES
KEE GATE is a complete range of safety gates designed
specically to provide permanent hazard protection for internal
or external applications.
KEE GATE can provide permanent protection for any openings,
ladder/stair access points, roof hatches and restricted areas,
where regular access for maintenance & inspection is required.
The gates have been specically designed to provide a “retro-t”
solution to existing xed structures where opening protection is
required. The U-bolt connection allows each gate to be connected
to posts from 33.7 – 48.3mm (1” – 1.5” USA version).
APPLICATION
KEE GATE has been designed to be fully adjustable and can
accommodate openings up to 1m (USA 18” – 48”) for single
gate and 1.8m (70.86”) for the double gate.
Connecting the “KEE GATE ” to the supporting structure/post/
stringer is simple via using the U-bolt which can provide
connection around any at, square or tubular stringer from 33.7
– 48.3mm (1” – 1.5”).
DURABILITY
KEE GATE is available in a range of high quality nishes.
Galvanized: components are supplied with a galvanized
nish to BS EN ISO 1461 and ASTM A53: Hot Dip Galvanized
Coatings Specication and Testing Methods, giving an average
coating of between 55-100 microns.
Aluminium: products are supplied to Grade 6082 T6, & T4, Ano-
dised Stainless Steel: products are supplied to Grade 316.
COMPONENT BASED SYSTEMS
All products consist of high quality tubing that seamlessly
compliments our existing safety portfolio. KEE GATE mounts
easily to all variants of the KEE KLAMP & KEEGUARD systems as
well as Safe Access Solutions such as Mobile Access
Platforms & Static Access Platforms.
VERSATILE SYSTEMS
The KEE GATE range has been specially designed with U-bolt
clamps allowing the products to be mounted to the supporting
structure/post/stringer. This permits connection around any at,
square or tubular stringer from 33.7 – 48.3mm (1” – 1.5”).

A. Align the xing plate on internal face of the opening, so
that the rails of the Safety Gate match up with the top of the
Guardrail System. Select the correct U Bolt & pass it through the
Steel Safety Clamp & around the support leg/structure and feed
through the top holes of the xing plate.
TOOLS REQUIRED
You will need the following in order to install the
Kee Gate:
• Marker Pen
• Tape Measure
• 1 No 15/16” Ring Spanners
• 3/16” Allen Key
• 1 No ½” socket
• 1 No 11/16” socket
• 1 No 15/16” socket
• Torque Wrench 10- 60 Nm approx
• Small Magnetic Level
Mounting Gate to Upright
Establish that the gate will close in direction of hazard!! Fail-
ure to do so could result in Death or serious injury.
D. Torque all nuts/U Bolts to 25Nm using the 11/16” or ½”
socket and torque wrench.
C. Select the correct U Bolt & pass it through the Steel Safety
Clamp & around the support leg/structure and feed through the
top holes of the xing plate. Using a ½” or 11/16” at washer
and nut connect the U bolt to the Support Leg/Structure and
tighten.
B. Using a 11/16” or ½” at washer and nut connect the U bolt
to the Support Leg/Structure and tighten.
E. To extend the gates width to the required opening simply
loosen the hex nuts and bolts on the top guardrail using a 3/16”
Allen Key and ½” socket.
Mounting and tensioning single gate spring

8
G. Establish the additional distance required so the striking
plate strikes the required post.
J. To tension the hinge loosen the locking nut as shown.I. Once the gate is lined and levelled tighten the hex nuts and
bolts on the top & bottom guardrails using a 3/16” Allen Key
and ½” socket.
H. Extend the gate by pulling to the required distance.F. To extend the gates width to the required opening simply
loosen the hex nuts and bolts on the bottom guardrail using a
3/16” Allen Key and ½” socket.
K. Manually open the gate at 45 degrees from its closed
position.
Mounting and tensioning single gate spring

9
M. Once the gate is completely closed tighten the locking nut to
hold the tension. Caution:- Continue to hold the ratchet rmly
and do not release until the lock nut is tightened. Now remove
the socket and spanner from the hinge. Repeat as
necessary, to ensure that the gate closes sufciently, once
opened and released.
Note:- Installing Kee Gate
When installing Kee Gate on a pitched roof it is essential that the gate is mounted vertically level to the horizontal. This can be
accommodated by using standard 90 degree Elbows (15-8) (4No required per gate).
The elbows permit adjustment allowing the Kee Gate to be orientated to the correct angle. If the gate is not set at the correct
angle the hinge cannot be tensioned correctly and the gate may not close as required.
L. Using the 15/16” socket & ring spanner start to tighten the bolt
until the gate completely closes. (Note:- You may have to hold the
socket whilst using the ratchet).
Caution! Over tensioning of the spring assembly will
result in failure of the product!!
Mounting and tensioning single gate spring

10
M. Using a 3/8” spanner and 3/16” hex key, slacken off the
locking nut and adjust the grub screws so that the gate leaves
meet in the middle. Once centre position is correct, lock off grub
screw using nut.
L. Using the 15/16” socket & ring spanner start to tighten the
bolt until the gate completely closes. (Note:- You may have to hold
the socket whilst using the ratchet). Once the gate is completely
closed tighten the locking nut to hold the tension.
Caution:- Continue to hold the ratchet rmly and do not release
until the lock nut is tightened. Now remove the socket and
spanner from the hinge. Repeat as necessary, to ensure that the
gate closes sufciently, once opened and released.
Mounting double gates and tensioning spring
Caution! Over tensioning of the spring assembly will
result in failure of the product!!
N. Ensure all nuts and grub screws (excluding adjustment screw)
on the gate are torqued to 39Nm. Finally, place black caps over
nuts. Ensure that the structure to which the gate is attached to
is sturdy, does not rotate and nuts and grub screws are torqued
as per manufacturers guidelines.
Note:- Installing Kee Gate
When installing Kee Gate on a pitched roof it is essential that the gate is mounted vertically level to the horizontal.
This can be accommodated by using standard 90 degree Elbows (15-8) (4No required per gate).
The elbows permit adjustment allowing the Kee Gate to be
orientated to the correct angle. If the gate is not set at the correct angle the hinge cannot be tensioned correctly
and the gate may not close as required.

• Torque Wrench 10- 60 Nm approx
• Small Magnetic Spirit Level
Assembly and Mounting of Gate to Floor
Establish that the gate will close in direction of hazard!!
Failure to do so could result in Death or serious injury.
D. Torque all nuts/U Bolts to 39Nm using the 11/16” or ½”
socket and torque wrench.
C. Select the correct U Bolt & pass it through the Steel Safety
Clamp, around the support leg/structure and feed through
the middle holes of the xing plate. Using a ½” or 11/16” at
washer and nut connect the U bolt to the Support Leg/Structure
and tighten. Repeat step for lower holes in faceplate.
B. Using a 11/16” or ½” at washer and nut connect the U bolt
to the Support Leg/Structure and tighten.
E. To cut the gate to the correct size simply place a straight
edge/magnetic level as shown and measure the distance
between the outside edges of the vertical tube on both gates.
(DO NOT CUT AT THIS MARK!)
Mounting double gates and tensioning spring

12
G. Divide the distance recorded in step E by 2, mark
this measurement on gate top and bottom tubes as shown. This
measurement is to be removed from both gates to ensure both
gates are the same width and meet in the middle.
J. To tension the return spring hinge loosen the locking nut as
shown.
I. Carefully re-position the gate top and bottom tubes into the
cast ttings. Use a spirit level, to ensure the gate is level. Tighten
the cast ttings grub screws using a hex head socket. Using the
torque wrench ensure the castings are torqued to 39Nm.
H. Using a hacksaw or similar carefully cut through the top and
bottom tubes as shown. For galvanized assemblies, spray with
Galvafoid or similar to prevent corrosion.
F. Disconnect the tubular gate from the hinge assembly by
loosening the top & bottom cast clamp grub screw, using a hex
head socket as shown.
K. Manually open the gate at 45 degrees from its closed
position.
