6.2.1. Step 1
Close the gate and measure a
distance of one metre from the
centreline of the gate hinge.
Make a mark on the ground.
6.2.2. Step 2
Open the gate and measure along the
gate a distance of one metre from
the centreline of the gate hinge.
Make a mark on the ground.
Measure the distance on the ground
between the two marks (Z).
Using this Z-Value, read o the gate
opening angle from the Table below.
6.2.3. Step 3
Gate opening angle based on Z-Value
From To Use gate swing angle of
1414mm 1521mm 90° - 99°
1532mm 1638mm 100° - 110°
