FOLDING GATES

BOSTWICK TYPE

Vertical bar folding gates are constructed of pairs of vertical channels with two or more rows of lattice bars. Channels may be 3/4" x 3/8" x 1/8" approximately 6" on centers with 5/8" x 1/8" lattice bars, with separators at pivot points.

Recommendations:

WALL POCKET TYPE

Shallow or deep wall pocket cabinets are used where wall conditions permit. Deep pocket cabinets may be used allowing full un-obstructed use of corridor, with folding gates pulling out, or collapsing into cabinets on straight line. Door to cabinet mounted on recess or piano hinge, with cabinet or cylinder locks.

Where other wall conditions permit, shallow pocket cabinets may be used, also allowing full un-obstructed use of corridors with folding gates hinged to swing out and across corridor opening, or collapsed to fold into pocket of cabinet. Door to cabinet mounted on off-set hinges and provided with cylinder locks.

LAZY TONG TYPE

Diamond lattice folding gates are constructed of single channels riveted back to back and arranged in a diamond pattern. Channels may be 3/4" x 3/8" x 1/8" approximately 6" on centers.

The overall height becomes less as the gates are extended; approximately 1 1/2" to each foot of width. The pivot point is usually placed near the bottom to maintain a more constant distance to the floor. Vertical members may be provided on wide gates with casters on floor or track and hangers above.
