Pedestrian gates
Pedestrian & Courtyard Gates
Bring privacy, access and a considered finish to a courtyard or side-yard opening.
A more considered approach
Start with what matters to you.
Walking entrances need comfortable clearance, reliable hardware and a design that makes sense beside the house. A private side yard and an open courtyard may need very different infill.
Choose the right level of privacy
Open pickets preserve a view. More enclosed infill creates screening. Consider the way the gate looks from both sides and how it connects to the adjoining wall.
- Opening and walking clearance
- Open metal or more private infill
- Latch, lock and access needs
- Finish and architectural details
Check the moving parts
An old latch that will not meet can be a symptom of hinge wear, a sagging frame or a moving support. Have the cause assessed before simply fitting another latch.
- Post and wall condition
- Hinge alignment and gate sag
- Ground clearance and swing
- Pool-barrier implications where applicable
Before you decide
A few useful answers.
Can a side gate be used as a pool barrier?
Only if the complete installation meets the applicable barrier requirements for the property. Hardware alone does not establish compliance.
Can an existing gate be refurbished?
Its condition, frame, finish and support determine whether refurbishment is sensible. Compare a clearly defined repair with replacement.
