Outdoor applications need a strong and stable surface that will not move throughout the years. For this reason, it is
essential, when the temperature can get below the freezing point, to insert an insulate sheet between the concrete
slab and the compaction rock. Figure 6 illustrates the concrete slab detail for a typical outdoor application.

Landing gate/door details
Landing gate/door details are specific to each job site. Be sure to refer to your site-specific
installation drawings.
There are two options that can be used when preparing for installation of the gate (or door with
sill angle). Figure 7 illustrates the two options for a gate. Refer to the Installation Guide for details
on installing the landing gate or door.
• Option 1 – Notch out the landing so that the gate angle bracket (or door sill angle) is flush with
the vertical landing surface.
• Option 2 – Install a 1/4” fascia panel to fill in the gap in the vertical landing surface from
underneath the gate angle bracket (or door sill angle) down to the floor/ground. If your site has
a hoistway or pit, be sure to add 1/4” to those dimensions to account for the 1/4” fascia panel.
