Gate Hardware: Designing for Function, Safety, and Code Compliance

Considering gate hardware early in the design process enhances the aesthetics and functionality of perimeter security. Gate hardware balances durability, security, and ease-of-use without detracting from the design. This course examines latches, plain pivot and self-closing hinges, closers and accessories for swing gates, and wheels for sliding gates; it also offers guidance on specification and installation.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• At the end of the course, participants will be able to IDENTIFY the different types of gates available, such as swing and sliding gates, gate materials, and the types of gate hardware that can be used to maintain perimeter security.
• At the end of the course, participants will be able to DISCUSS how to specify and install gate hardware of the correct type, positioning, and spacing to safely support and allow proper movement of gates.
• At the end of the course, participants will be able to CLASSIFY gate configurations, hardware, hinges, and locking mechanisms and the attributes of a variety of fence designs to determine how they contribute to specific visual criteria and security needs.
• At the end of the course, participants will be able to ASSESS factors such as aesthetics, safety, security, efficiency, and the surrounding environment to specify the most appropriate gate system for a specific application.
