Apollo® 3.0m High x 1.5m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Single Leaf Gate Kit 

The Apollo® 3.0m x 1.5m 868 Twin Mesh Single Leaf Gate Kit offers a robust and secure pedestrian access point. Ideal for use in various locations including commercial, industrial, and public areas such as parks and school grounds. With its taller profile and reinforced mesh infill, this gate is a practical solution for locations requiring increased perimeter security without compromising visibility.

Key Features and Benefits

• 868 Twin Wire Mesh Infill:
  Constructed using two 8mm horizontal steel wires paired with a 6mm vertical wire, the 868 mesh (commonly known as twin mesh) provides a strong and durable barrier against forced entry by opportunistic thieves or vandals.  The small openings between each of the wires makes this mesh difficult for would be intruders to climb over, but still offers a great level of visibility for additional security systems such as CCTV.
• Powder-Coated Steel Frame:
  Each gate is built from pre-galvanised steel and coated with a professionally applied polyester powder finish. This coating provides additional protection against rust, corrosion, and wear caused by harsh weather conditions. They are available in a variety of colours to suit any perimeter.
• Smooth, Safe Design:
  Featuring precision-mitred corners, the gate not only looks neat and professional but also eliminates sharp edges—ensuring safe use in public or high-traffic areas.

Modular, Universally Handed Design

The Apollo® 868 Gate is built with flexibility in mind. The universally handed gate leaf allows the gate to be installed to swing either left or right—no need to choose the orientation at the time of purchase.

Each gate is supplied with a slider kit, which can be upgraded at any time to one of our modular Gatemaster lock systems. This user-friendly upgrade can be completed with minimal tools and does not require removing the gate leaf—keeping installation quick and simple.

Locking Drop Bolt

Included with every Apollo® 3.0m x 1.5m Gate Kit is a locking drop bolt, designed to increase both safety and security on site. This versatile component serves two essential purposes:

• Hold Gate Open Securely: Ideal for periods of high foot traffic or for maintaining access during operational hours.
• Reinforce Gate When Closed: When not in use, the drop bolt can be locked into the ground to prevent the gate from swinging open, providing an added layer of security against unauthorised access or accidental movement in windy conditions.

Ground Type Compatibility

The Apollo® 3.0m x 1.5m Gate kits are available with either dig in or bolt down posts, providing a

• Bolt-Down Posts: Designed for installation on solid surfaces like concrete. Requires 4 x M16 x 125mm Ground Anchor Bolts per post (sold separately).
• Dig-In Posts: Suitable for soil, turf, or softer ground types. Post Mix is required for secure installation (Please see the recommended quantities when placing your order).

Add a Gate Restrainer 

To meet BS 12604 standards, an optional Safety Tether is available. This tether helps prevent the gate leaf from moving beyond 300mm of its vertical axis should the top hinge fail, reducing the risk of injury. The gate leaf and posts are pre-drilled to accept this tether for fast, no-fuss installation in line with DHF (Door and Hardware Federation) recommendations.
