Pedestrian Gate Installation & Repair
Walk-through gates with dependable latches, controlled visitor entry and appropriate exit hardware.
Walk-through gates with dependable latches, controlled visitor entry and appropriate exit hardware.
A pedestrian gate has a different job from the driveway opening: people should be able to approach, call, enter and exit without stepping into a moving vehicle gate's path.
We assess the leaf, latch, closer and any electric release as a complete assembly. A latch that fails to engage may be caused by a sagging hinge, not by the lock itself.
Walk-through access problems
- The latch misses its strike
- A closer slams or fails to close
- An electric release works intermittently
- Visitors stand inside the driveway gate's path
Check alignment, closing and exit
We inspect the supports, hinges, leaf alignment and latch engagement through repeated closing cycles. Release hardware, power and intercom outputs are tested if present.
New layouts account for the pedestrian approach, clear opening and the applicable use of the exit. We select compatible latching and closing equipment rather than applying a driveway gate arrangement to a walk-through leaf.
Entry hardware choices
- Mechanical latch
- A simple residential arrangement where access needs and exit requirements allow it.
- Electric release
- Compatible strike or locking hardware linked to a supported intercom or controller.
- Managed entry
