Pedestrian gate manual lock (Two-sided key)

A “pedestrian gate manual lock (two-sided key)” refers to a type of gate latch or lock that can be operated and secured with a key from both sides of the gate.

Here’s a breakdown of what that means and why it’s useful:

  • Manual Lock: This indicates that the lock is operated by hand, typically by turning a key or a knob/lever, rather than being electric or automated.
  • Two-Sided Key (or Keyed on Both Sides): This is the key feature. It means that there is a key cylinder on both the exterior and interior sides of the gate. This allows you to:
    • Lock the gate from either the inside or the outside using a key.
    • Unlock the gate from either the inside or the outside using a key.

Why is this beneficial for a pedestrian gate?

  • Convenience: You don’t have to walk around the gate to unlock it if you’re on the “wrong” side.
  • Security: It provides a consistent level of security from both directions, preventing unauthorized access whether someone is trying to get in from the outside or out from the inside (if that’s a concern).
  • Accessibility: It can be crucial for pedestrian gates that serve as primary entry points, offering easy access for residents or authorized personnel from either side.

Types of locks that can be two-sided keyed for gates often include:

  • Deadbolt Hook Locks: These use a hook-shaped bolt that engages with a strike plate on the gate post.
  • Mortise Locks: These are installed within a pocket cut into the gate frame, offering a clean, flush appearance and good security.
  • Rim Locks: These are surface-mounted on the gate, making them easier to install.
  • Latches with an external access kit: Some general-purpose gate latches can be converted to be two-sided key-lockable with an additional kit.

When choosing such a lock, important considerations include the gate material (wood, vinyl, metal), weather resistance, ease of installation, and the level of security required.

Gate adjustable hinges

*Steel material *Heavy-duty hinge *5-1/2” Length (Total 7-1/2”) x 4-1/2” Width *Bolt thickness: 3⁄4” Gate adjustable hinges are a type of hinge designed to allow for precise adjustments to a gate's position and alignment even after it has been installed. Unlike traditional fixed hinges, which offer little to no post-installation flexibility, adjustable hinges provide the ability to fine-tune the gate's fit. This feature is particularly beneficial for gates that may sag over time due to their weight, ground settling, or weather changes.   Why are Adjustable Hinges Important? Adjustable hinges solve common problems associated with gate installation and long-term use. Without them, realigning a sagging or misaligned gate often requires removing the gate, cutting, re-welding, and repainting the hinges, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. With adjustable hinges, these adjustments can typically be made with simple tools like an Allen key or an adjustable wrench.   Key Features and Adjustments Adjustable hinges offer various levels of adjustment, which can include:
  • In/Out Adjustment: This is the most common adjustment, allowing the gate to be moved closer to or further away from the post. This helps eliminate gaps or prevent the gate from rubbing against the frame.
  • Up/Down Adjustment: This allows for vertical alignment, which is crucial for ensuring the gate clears the ground and for aligning the gate's lock with its strike plate, especially for double swing gates.
  • Left/Right Adjustment: Some advanced models offer lateral adjustment, providing ultimate flexibility in positioning the gate along its width. This can also help in adjusting the gate's tilt.
Many models also feature locking mechanisms, such as serrated washers or set screws, to ensure that once the adjustment is made, the gate remains securely in place.   Types of Adjustable Hinges Adjustable hinges come in various forms, often incorporating the adjustability into existing hinge designs:
  • Adjustable Eye Bolts: These are threaded components that allow vertical and horizontal adjustment, typically used with hook-on plates or gate pins.
  • Adjustable Band and Gudgeon Hinges: Similar to traditional band and gudgeon hinges, but with a threaded bolt and nuts for adjustment.
  • Weld-on Adjustable Hinges: Designed to be welded directly to metal gates and posts, offering strong support and adjustability.
  • Bolt-on Adjustable Hinges: These are bolted to the gate and post, making them suitable for various gate materials.
  • Barrel Hinges (Adjustable): Often featuring a set screw for up/down adjustments, suitable for heavier loads and offering a robust design.
  • Adjustable Self-Closing Hinges: Some adjustable hinges also incorporate a self-closing mechanism, which is ideal for security gates or areas where the gate needs to close automatically.
Advantages of Using Adjustable Hinges
  • Ease of Installation and Adjustment: They simplify the initial installation process by allowing for fine-tuning without needing to perfectly align everything from the start. Subsequent adjustments due to settling or wear are also quick and easy.
  • Longevity: By maintaining proper alignment, adjustable hinges reduce wear and tear on both the gate and the hinges themselves, extending their lifespan.
  • Enhanced Security: Proper alignment minimizes gaps around the gate, making it harder for unauthorized entry.
  • Versatility: They are available in various sizes and load capacities, suitable for everything from lightweight garden gates to heavy-duty industrial gates.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: The ability to easily adjust the gate's position can significantly reduce the need for costly repairs or re-installations.
  • Improved Aesthetics: Ensures the gate maintains a straight and professional appearance, avoiding unsightly sagging or misalignment.
  Materials and Finishes Adjustable hinges are manufactured from durable materials to withstand outdoor conditions and heavy use. Common materials include:
  • Steel: Strong and ideal for heavy-duty gates, often galvanized or treated to prevent rust.
  • Stainless Steel: Offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it perfect for outdoor and high-moisture environments.
  • Zinc-plated Steel: Provides a good balance of durability, cost-effectiveness, and rust protection.
  • Brass: Less strong than steel but used for decorative purposes due to its aesthetic appeal.
Finishes often include black powder-coating for a sleek look and added protection, or galvanization for superior corrosion resistance, especially in industrial or harsh weather conditions.

Cantilever Sliding Gate Hardware

Cantilever sliding gate hardware refers to the specialized components that allow a gate to slide open and close without needing a track on the ground. Instead, the gate is supported and guided from above and to the side by a system of rollers and channels. Here's a breakdown of the essential components that make up cantilever sliding gate hardware:
  1. Cantilever Track (or Rail):
    • This is the most distinctive part. It's a heavy-duty, usually C-shaped (or sometimes a more complex extruded profile) channel that's securely attached to the bottom (or sometimes top) of the gate frame itself.
    • The track is extended beyond the main gate opening to form the "tail" or counterbalance section, which supports the gate when it's fully open.
    • Materials: Commonly made from galvanized steel for strength and corrosion resistance, or aluminum for lighter weight and superior corrosion resistance (as discussed previously).
  2. Cantilever Carriages (or Trolleys/Rollers):
    • These are the critical load-bearing components. They consist of a sturdy base plate with multiple wheels (often 5, 8, or more) arranged in a specific configuration.
    • The wheels are made from durable materials like steel (often machined or cast) or high-impact nylon, and typically feature sealed bearings for smooth, maintenance-free operation.
    • The cantilever track fits over these carriages, with the wheels rolling inside the track's channel.
    • Two (or more for very long/heavy gates) carriages are typically mounted on strong concrete foundation posts, positioned outside the gate opening. These posts support the entire weight of the gate.
  3. Guide Rollers/Plates (Upper Guides):
    • These are smaller rollers or plates mounted on a separate guide post (or posts) on the same side as the cantilever carriages.
    • Their purpose is to keep the gate upright and prevent it from tipping over as it moves. They typically engage with the top rail of the gate.
    • Made from nylon, steel, or a combination, often with adjustable brackets.
  4. End Cups / Receiver Posts / Gate Catches:
    • End Cup (or End Stop): A cup or bracket mounted on the support posts at the fully closed position. The end of the gate's tail section (specifically the track) "rests" in this cup when the gate is fully closed, providing additional stability and support.
    • Receiver Post / Gate Catch: A post or latching mechanism at the opposite end of the gate opening. When the gate is fully closed, it engages with this post to secure the gate in the closed position. This is often where a lock or the gate operator's arm connects.
    • Support Wheels / Final Wheels: Sometimes, a small support wheel is mounted on the ground or a low post at the far end of the gate opening to provide extra support to the gate's leading edge when it's fully closed, especially for very long or heavy gates.
  5. Anchoring and Installation Accessories:
    • Foundation Plates/Anchor Bolts: Heavy-duty plates and bolts used to securely anchor the cantilever carriages to concrete foundations. The stability of the entire system relies on robust anchoring.
    • Tension Bars (less common in modern designs): Historically used for minor adjustments to gate alignment or sag, though modern systems are often designed to minimize this need.
Advantages of Cantilever Hardware:
  • No Ground Track: This is the primary advantage. Eliminates the need for a track embedded in the driveway, which means:
    • No debris accumulation (leaves, dirt, snow, ice) obstructing movement.
    • Smoother operation on uneven driveways.
    • Less maintenance in terms of track cleaning.
    • No tripping hazard or wear on vehicles crossing a ground track.
  • Durability and Low Maintenance: Because the main rolling components (carriages) are elevated and enclosed within the track, they are less exposed to dirt and weather, leading to longer life and less frequent maintenance.
  • High Security: Cantilever gates are inherently very secure as they are difficult to lift or derail.
  • Aesthetics: The absence of a ground track can contribute to a cleaner, more streamlined look for the driveway entrance.
  • Suitable for High-Traffic Areas: Their robust design makes them ideal for commercial, industrial, or busy residential applications.
Suppliers in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada: For purchasing cantilever sliding gate hardware in Surrey, BC, you would typically look for:
  • Gate Automation and Supply Companies: Businesses specializing in automatic gates will carry a full range of cantilever hardware. Examples include Royal Gates (Royal Electronic Technology Center Co.), presence in the Metro Vancouver area, including Surrey.
  • Fencing and Gate Fabricators: Many companies that custom-fabricate gates will also supply or install the necessary hardware.
  • Industrial Hardware Suppliers: Larger industrial suppliers may stock components, though specialized gate companies will offer more comprehensive systems.
  • Online Retailers: Many online suppliers ship to Canada, offering a wide variety of components from different manufacturers.
When considering cantilever gate hardware, it's crucial to select components that match the weight, length, and usage frequency of your gate to ensure long-term, reliable operation.

Sliding gate operator gear rack -SLGR2

The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack SLGR2 is a specific type of toothed bar used in conjunction with a sliding gate operator (motor) to convert its rotational power into the linear motion needed to open and close a sliding gate. Let's break down what SLGR2 likely refers to and its characteristics: Function of a Gear Rack:
  • Linear Motion: The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack SLGR2 is essentially a straight "rack" of teeth that meshes with a small circular gear called a pinion, which is attached to the shaft of the sliding gate operator's motor.
  • Power Transmission: As the pinion spins, its teeth engage with the teeth of the gear rack, pushing or pulling the gate horizontally along its track. This is how the motor physically moves the gate.
Key Features of the SLGR2 Gear Rack: Based on the search results, particularly from Royal Gate (which operates in Surrey, BC):
  • Length: The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack SLGR2 is specified as being 340 mm (millimetres) in length. This is a relatively short segment. Sliding gates often require multiple sections of gear rack to be joined together to span the entire length of the gate, as most gates are much longer than 340mm.
  • Mounting Holes: It has "2 Holes". These holes are pre-drilled for easy attachment to the bottom frame of the sliding gate using screws or bolts.
  • Material: While the exact material for this specific SLGR2 is not explicitly stated in all listings, gear racks are commonly made from:
    • Steel (most common): Offers high strength, durability, and resistance to wear, making it suitable for heavy gates and high-traffic applications. Often galvanized or treated for corrosion resistance.
    • Nylon with a Steel Core: A popular alternative. The nylon exterior provides quieter operation and good corrosion resistance, while the internal steel core offers the necessary strength and stability for the gate's weight and movement. This is a good balance of properties.
    • Less commonly, other plastics or stainless steel are used for specific applications.
  • "Module": While not explicitly stated for SLGR2, gear racks (and their mating pinions) adhere to a "module" standard (e.g., Module 2, Module 4). The module defines the size of the teeth and the spacing between them, ensuring that the gear rack properly meshes with the pinion gear of the specific sliding gate operator it's intended for. The SLGR2 would have a specific module that matches the operators sold by Royal Gate.
Where you'd use it: The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack SLGR2 is used in conjunction with gear rack sliding gate operators. These are the most common type of automatic opener for sliding gates, where the gate itself has wheels that run on a ground track (as opposed to cantilever gates). In the context of Vancouver, BC: If you are looking for parts for a sliding gate operator system in Canada, Royal Gate is a local supplier that specifically lists the SLGR2 gear rack. This means it's a standard replacement part or component they offer for their range of sliding gate operators. When purchasing, it's crucial to ensure the SLGR2 (or any gear rack) is compatible with the "module" of your existing gate operator's pinion gear for proper meshing and operation.

Telescopic sliding gate hardware

Telescopic sliding gate hardware refers to the specialized components and kits used to construct and operate a telescopic sliding gate system. Unlike a traditional single-leaf sliding gate, a telescopic gate consists of multiple gate leaves (typically two or three) that slide and overlap each other as they open, significantly reducing the amount of "run-off" space required for the gate to retract. This makes them ideal for properties with limited lateral space. Here's a breakdown of the key hardware components and how they work: How a Telescopic Sliding Gate Works: The core principle behind a telescopic gate is the synchronized movement of its multiple leaves. This is typically achieved through a cable and pulley system or a geared track system.
  • Cable and Pulley System: This is a common method. When the primary gate leaf (the one directly driven by a motor or moved manually) begins to open, a series of cables and pulleys pull the secondary and tertiary leaves along parallel tracks. The cables are strategically routed so that each subsequent leaf moves at a faster rate, allowing them to stack neatly behind the primary leaf when fully open.
  • Geared Track System: Some advanced systems use a geared track where a pinion on one gate leaf engages with a rack on the next, driving it along.
Key Hardware Components:
  1. Gate Leaves: These are the individual sections of the gate. They are designed to slide smoothly past each other.
  2. Tracks:
    • Ground Tracks: Parallel tracks are installed on the ground for each gate leaf to slide on.
    • Upper Guide Profile/Track: A top guide system is crucial for stability and smooth movement, preventing the gate leaves from wobbling or derailing.
  3. Wheels: Each gate leaf has wheels (often V-groove or round groove) that run along the ground tracks. These are typically heavy-duty to support the weight of the gate.
  4. Pulley System/Transmission Unit: This is the heart of the telescopic mechanism. It includes:
    • Pulleys: Used to route and guide the steel cables.
    • Steel Cables: Connect the gate leaves, ensuring synchronized movement.
    • Cable Covers/Casings: Protect the cables and provide a neat appearance.
    • Adjustable Pulley Systems/Tensioners: Allow for precise adjustment of cable tension to ensure smooth operation and prevent stretching over time.
    • Connection Brackets/Couplers: Connect the cables to the gate leaves.
  5. Guide Brackets/Rollers: These are installed at the top of the gate or on a support post to keep the gate leaves aligned and stable as they move. They often feature nylon rollers to reduce friction and noise.
  6. Gate Stops and Receivers: To define the fully open and closed positions and secure the gate when closed.
  7. Gear Rack (for automated gates): If the gate is automated, a gear rack will be installed on the primary gate leaf, which engages with a pinion on the gate motor.
  8. Gate Motor (for automated systems): A powerful sliding gate motor is required, often a low-voltage DC motor with advanced electronics to handle the varying speeds and loads of the multiple leaves. A speed reduction gearbox may also be incorporated for safety.
Advantages of Telescopic Sliding Gates:
  • Space-Saving: The primary advantage, as they require significantly less run-off space than single-leaf sliding gates.
  • Wider Opening: Allows for a wider clear opening in situations where space limitations would otherwise restrict it.
  • Faster Operation: Can often open and close more quickly than a single, very large sliding gate.
  • Aesthetics: Can be a more visually appealing solution for properties with limited space.
Considerations:
  • Complexity: More complex to design and install than a standard sliding gate due to the synchronized movement.
  • Maintenance: Requires regular lubrication and checking of the cable and pulley system to ensure smooth and reliable operation.
  • Weight Distribution: Proper engineering is crucial to distribute the weight of multiple gate leaves evenly and ensure stability.
In essence, telescopic sliding gate hardware provides the mechanical framework and control mechanisms to create a highly efficient and space-saving gate solution.

Gate drop ground latch

A gate drop ground latch, also known as a cane bolt or drop rod, is a hardware mechanism used to secure a gate in either the open or closed position by inserting a rod into the ground.
It's commonly used for single or double gates, including wooden fences, metal gates, and even barn doors, to provide extra stability and prevent unwanted movement. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
  • The latch typically consists of a rod (the "drop rod" or "cane bolt") and a bracket or receiver that is mounted on the gate. 
  • When the gate is in the desired position (open or closed), the rod is manually lowered through the bracket and into a hole or receiver in the ground. 
  • This creates a secure hold, preventing the gate from swinging or being moved by wind or other forces. 
  • Some designs include a bracket or keeper to hold the rod in the raised (open) position when not in use. 
Common uses:
  • Securing single or double gates: The drop ground latch can be used on both types of gates to keep them firmly in place.
  • Providing stability in windy conditions: It helps prevent gates from being blown open or closed by the wind.
  • Securing gates in the open position: It can be used to hold a gate open, preventing it from accidentally closing.
  • Reinforcing gate security: It adds an extra layer of security, making it more difficult to force the gate open.
  • Suitable for various materials: Can be used with wood, metal, and other gate materials. 
Benefits:
  • Enhanced security: Prevents gates from being moved by wind or other forces.
  • Increased stability: Helps keep gates aligned and prevents sagging.
  • Versatile application: Can be used on a variety of gates and in different environments.
  • Easy to operate: Simple manual operation to engage and disengage the latch.
  • Relatively easy to install: Usually requires drilling holes for mounting the brackets.
