Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PS INDUSTRIES from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between PS Industries self-closing safety gates and pedestrian safety gates?
PS Industries self-closing safety gates use a spring-loaded hinge that automatically returns the gate to the closed position after each use. They are available in stainless steel with an unfinished silver finish. Pedestrian safety gates are manually operated and do not self-close. They are available in powder-coated yellow steel. Both types are width-adjustable and use universal mounting. Self-closing models are typically specified where automatic closure is required for safety or process reasons, while pedestrian gates are used where manual operation is acceptable.
What opening widths are available for PS Industries width-adjustable gates?
PS Industries width-adjustable gates cover a range of opening widths. Stainless steel self-closing models are available for openings from 15 in to 20 in (LSG-1520-304SW, LSGPS-1520-304SW), 20 in to 30 in (LSG-2030-304SW, LSGPS-2030-304SW), and 30 in to 40 in (LSG-3040-304SW). Powder-coated yellow pedestrian gates fit openings from 18 in to 36 in (ASG-1836-PCY, ASG-1836-ZINC) and 21 in to 48 in (EPAG-2148-PCY). Each gate adjusts within its stated range, so a single model can accommodate varying opening dimensions.
Are PS Industries safety gates lockable?
No. The PS Industries safety gates listed in 3G Electric's catalog do not include locking mechanisms. Self-closing models are designed to close automatically but cannot be locked. Pedestrian safety gates are manually operated and also do not have locks. These gates are intended for access control and safety barrier applications, not for security perimeters where locking is required. For lockable gates, a different product family would be needed.
What materials are used in PS Industries safety gates?
PS Industries safety gates are constructed from either stainless steel or carbon steel. Stainless steel models have an unfinished silver finish and are typically specified for corrosive, washdown, or outdoor environments. Carbon steel models have a powder-coated yellow finish for visibility and moderate corrosion resistance in indoor industrial settings. The choice between materials depends on the environment and required durability. Stainless steel offers higher corrosion resistance, while powder-coated steel provides a visible barrier at a lower material cost.
How do I select the correct PS Industries gate for my opening?
Measure the clear opening width where the gate will be installed. Select a PS Industries gate whose adjustable range includes that width. For example, a 24 in opening can use the LSG-2030-304SW (20 in to 30 in) or ASG-1836-PCY (18 in to 36 in). Consider the mounting surface and whether the gate must self-close. Stainless steel models are available for corrosive environments. Verify that the gate swing direction and mounting hardware are compatible with your railing or guard structure. Manufacturer part numbers are listed for each model to aid specification.
Does 3G Electric provide technical support for PS Industries gates?
3G Electric supplies PS Industries safety gates and provides logistics support, including international shipping and order fulfillment. Technical support is limited to product selection based on published specifications such as opening width, material, and self-closing function.
