Gate Safety & UL 325 Compliance Upgrades

Older automatic gates often pre-date current safety standards. We bring them up to UL 325 with the right entrapment protection and signage.

UL 325 sets the safety standard for automatic vehicular gate systems in the United States. It governs how gates must detect obstructions, where photo eyes and edge sensors are placed, and what warnings must be visible at the gate.

We inspect existing gates against current standards and recommend the specific changes that bring the system into compliance — without replacing equipment that's still doing its job.

What we do

  • Inspection against current UL 325 requirements
  • Photo eye installation and alignment
  • Wired and wireless edge sensor installation
  • Operator settings and force tuning
  • Required warning signage

Common issues we solve

  • Gates installed before current safety standards
  • Missing or misaligned photo eyes
  • No edge sensors on leading and trailing edges
  • Force settings too high
