Gates & Latches

We verify that all gates self-close and self-latch automatically from any open position without assistance.

On-Site Inspection Checklist

A typical compliance inspection takes 30–60 minutes. Before our inspector arrives, please ensure the barrier area is clear of climbable objects and all gates are easily accessible.
