Frequently Asked Questions
TYMETAL has been in the perimeter security solutions market since 1985. With more than three decades of experience designing, manufacturing, and installing Pedestrian Gates, we have encountered many questions along the way. Explore a few of the common questions we are asked below. If you don’t find the answers you’re looking for, feel free to contact us by phone at 888-978-4283 or online.
How do pedestrian swing gates differ from vehicle-rated security gates?
TYMETAL pedestrian swing gates are sized and structured for foot traffic control rather than vehicle access management. They feature narrower clear openings and frames suited for pedestrian load, and hardware optimized for frequent manual or automated use by individuals.
Are TYMETAL pedestrian gates ADA-compliant and compatible with access control systems?
TYMETAL pedestrian swing gates are available in configurations supporting ADA-compliant clear opening widths and low-force operation requirements. They are compatible with a full range of access control hardware including card readers, keypad entry, electric strikes, magnetic locks, and automatic operators, allowing seamless integration into building security and access management systems.
What materials and finishes are available for corrosion and vandal resistance?
TYMETAL pedestrian gates are fabricated from steel tube frames with infill options including chain link, welded wire, expanded metal, and ornamental steel pickets. Standard finishes include powder coat in a range of colors and galvanized coatings for outdoor and corrosion-prone environments, providing durable protection against rust, weathering, and surface damage.
Can pedestrian swing gates be integrated with turnstiles or security fencing?
TYMETAL pedestrian swing gates are designed to interface with perimeter security fencing systems and can be specified alongside turnstile mechanisms for controlled single-direction flow. The 2150 Pedestrian Portal model integrates a swing gate and turnstile in a single pre-hung unit specifically for applications requiring metered pedestrian access.
What are the typical installation and maintenance requirements for pedestrian gates?
TYMETAL pedestrian swing gates are available as pre-hung units that simplify post installation and alignment. Maintenance involves periodic hinge lubrication, latch adjustment, and inspection of frame welds and coating condition. Automated pedestrian gates additionally require monthly safety device testing and annual operator inspection per UL 325 guidelines.
