BA-AGRHSR Adjustable Gate for Roof Hatch Safety Railing

The BA-AGRHSR Adjustable Gate for Roof Hatch Safety Railing is a stand-alone, self-closing, self-latching gate engineered to replace hazardous open safety chains on existing roof hatch guardrails. Fabricated from 1- 5/8“ x .065" (16 gauge) galvanized steel tubing with a high-visibility yellow powder coat, the gate telescopes to fit openings from 30" to 48".

It easily bolts onto upright guardrail posts from any manufacturer, helping the railing system meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29 fall-protection requirements.

Why Choose BA-AGRHSR Adjustable Gate for Roof Hatch Safety Railing?

• Self-Closing and Self-Latching: A spring mechanism closes and latches the gate automatically, providing continuous protection at the railing opening.
• Supports OSHA Compliance: It replaces open safety chains with a self-closing, self-latching gate designed to help existing railings comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29.
• Fits 30" – 48" Openings: The telescoping gate adjusts in the field to accommodate a range of existing roof hatch railing openings without requiring a separate gate size for each opening.
• Bolt-On Retrofit Installation: Mounts onto the upright posts of existing safety railings from any manufacturer, making it suitable for replacing chain-guarded openings.
• Durable Galvanized Steel: The 16-gauge galvanized steel tubing stands up to rooftop weather and repeated use.
• High-Visibility Finish: A safety yellow powder coat keeps the gate clearly visible on the roof.

What to Know About Installation Requirements?

Fitting the Gate

The BA-AGRHSR bolts onto the upright posts of an existing safety railing and telescope to fit openings from 30" to 48". Confirm the opening width and the railing post diameter before ordering so the gate mounts and adjusts correctly.

Installation Notes

• Mount the hinge-side assembly: Secure the two 3-1/2" adjustable spring hinges to one upright railing post using the supplied mounting hardware.
• Set the gate width: Extend or retract the telescoping gate assemblies until the gate spans the opening and aligns with the receiving post.
• Secure the adjustment: Tighten the two 1/2"-13 set screws to hold the telescoping sections at the required width.
• Install the latch components: Mount the latch pin on the gate and secure the latch bracket and catch to the opposite railing post so the pin engages when the gate closes.
• Test the gate: Confirm that the gate closes automatically and latches securely without assistance.

For fall-protection and rooftop-access requirements, review the OSHA walking-working surfaces standard and confirm details with your design team.
