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:

  • 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.
  • Discuss how to specify and install gate hardware of the correct type, positioning, and spacing to safely support and allow proper movement of gates.
  • 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.
  • Assess factors such as aesthetics, safety, security, efficiency, and the surrounding environment to specify the most appropriate gate system for a specific application.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
