Gate Restrainer

Gate Restrainer for Single and Double Leaf Gates

A gate restrainer is a simple yet highly effective safety feature designed to prevent gates from falling in the event of hinge failure. Whether in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, heavy gates pose a serious risk to pedestrians and property if a hinge becomes damaged or detached. The gate restrainer serves as a fail-safe mechanism, ensuring that even if the hinges fail, the gate remains securely attached to the post, significantly reducing the chance of accidents.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the gate restrainer is both strong and durable, providing long-term protection and reliability. It is available in two sizes to accommodate different gate weights:

3mm stainless steel restrainer – Supports gates weighing up to 250kg
4mm stainless steel restrainer – Supports gates weighing up to 500kg

By installing a gate restrainer, property owners and facility managers can add an extra layer of safety to their swing gates, minimising liability and ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.

The gate restrainer's steel braided wire construction makes it extremely strong and resistant to wear and tear. The stainless steel end stops ensure the wire stays firmly in place, providing robust security even for heavy-duty gates. Unlike conventional safety chains, the flexible yet sturdy structure of the restrainer allows for smooth gate movement while preventing sudden detachment or collapse.

Whether used on single or double-leaf gates, this restrainer offers an unobtrusive and neat solution to enhance gate stability without compromising the aesthetic of the gate or fencing system.

Simple & Quick Installation

One of the key advantages of the gate restrainer is its ease of installation. You don’t need complex tools or extensive modifications to fit it. Follow these straightforward steps:

1. Drill a 13mm hole into the gate frame.
2. Drill another 13mm hole into the gate post, ensuring that both holes align properly.
3. Insert the ends of the restrainer into the holes.
4. Push the plastic bushes into the holes – this provides a neat finish and prevents the wire from scratching the gate.

With just these few steps, your gate will be significantly safer and more secure, protecting against potential accidents caused by hinge failure.

A gate restrainer is an essential safety feature that should be considered when purchasing any single or double-leaf gate. It provides extra security and peace of mind, ensuring that even if a hinge fails, the gate remains safely supported.
