PlaySecure® 1.2m x 2.9m Wide Machine Access Double Railing Child Safe Gate Kit
Product Description
PlaySecure® Machine Access Railing Gate Kit 1.2m x 2.9m Wide Double Dig-In
Even in well-managed play areas, emergency access remains a vital safety requirement. Ambulances require a minimum opening width of 2.15m to enter a site safely. The PlaySecure® Machine Access Gate Kit not only meets this requirement but exceeds it with a generous 2.9m opening, ensuring rapid access for emergency services and maintenance vehicles when needed.
Part of First Fence’s RoSPA-compliant PlaySecure® range, this gate is specifically designed for child-focused environments, helping prevent accidents while maintaining safe and controlled access to playgrounds and recreational spaces.

Features & Benefits
Designed for Playground Safety
The PlaySecure® Machine Access Gate Kit is manufactured from pre-galvanised steel and finished with a durable polyester powder coating, providing excellent resistance to rust and long-term structural protection. The vibrant colour finish also ensures the gate is clearly visible in busy play environments.
RoSPA-Compliant Construction
All fencing and gates surrounding playgrounds must meet strict safety requirements. The PlaySecure® range has been engineered specifically to comply with RoSPA guidelines, helping to reduce hazards and maintain safe recreational environments.
Wide Double-Leaf Configuration
The gate features a double-leaf design consisting of:
- 1.2m primary leaf for everyday pedestrian access
- 1.7m secondary leaf for vehicle access
When fully opened, the gate provides a 2.9m wide entry point, allowing safe access for ambulances, maintenance vehicles, and machinery.
Universal Swing Direction
The gate offers a universal swing configuration, determined by the positioning of the slam plate.
RoSPA recommends that playground gates open outwards wherever possible to help prevent unleashed dogs from entering play areas, unless external hazards require an alternative setup.
Anti-Entrapment Safety Design
To reduce the risk of finger injuries, the gate includes a 40mm clearance between the gate leaf and post.
This significantly exceeds the 12mm minimum safety guideline, helping to prevent finger trapping in busy play areas.
Adjustable Self-Closing System
Each gate is fitted with an integrated self-closing mechanism that automatically closes and latches the gate after use.
The closing speed can be adjusted to ensure the gate takes at least five seconds to close, giving children sufficient time to pass safely without being struck by the gate leaf.
Safety Tether Protection
Each leaf includes a safety tether, designed to hold the gate in place in the unlikely event of hinge failure.
This prevents the gate from falling and ensures compliance with BS EN 12604 safety standards.
Smooth Edges & Protective Finish
The gate is designed with smooth edges and a high-quality powder-coated finish, improving both safety and durability. The coating protects against rust, which can otherwise lead to structural weakening over time.
Noise & Impact Reduction
Supplied with 13mm self-adhesive 3M tapered rubber pads, which help:
- Reduce closing noise
- Cushion the impact when the gate shuts
- Provide additional protection against finger entrapment
For optimal safety, the pads should be installed above 700mm from ground level.
Secure Access Control
The double-leaf configuration includes a heavy-duty drop bolt, securing the secondary leaf when not in use.
The gate is also padlockable, allowing authorised access for maintenance vehicles and emergency services while preventing unauthorised entry.
Applications
- Public Parks & Playgrounds: Provides safe emergency access for ambulances and maintenance machinery while maintaining secure play areas.
- Schools & Educational Grounds: Allows controlled vehicle entry for site maintenance or emergency services while keeping playgrounds safely enclosed.
- Leisure & Sports Facilities: Ideal for managing vehicle access to sports pitches, courts, and recreational spaces.
