Gate Operators & the ANSI/UL 325 Safety Standard
Safety is the highest priority when it comes to automatic gates and garage door systems. The ANSI/UL 325 Standard is the industry’s leading safety guideline for the design, installation, and operation of gate operators and automated door systems. This standard outlines the essential requirements that help protect homeowners, visitors, and property from avoidable accidents or equipment failures.
At Newport Coast Garage Doors & Gates, we follow ANSI/UL 325 in every installation and service call. This means:
-
Proper safety sensors such as photoelectric eyes and contact edges are installed and tested.
-
Automatic reversal features are verified to ensure the gate or door reacts correctly when an obstruction is detected.
-
Correct wiring and control placement are used to prevent unintended operation.
-
Approved equipment is selected to comply with the most current safety requirements.
Choosing a company that understands and follows ANSI/UL 325 ensures your system is not only reliable but also fully compliant with national safety standards. Whether you’re installing a new gate operator or upgrading your existing system, we make sure your equipment operates as safely and efficiently as possible.
