Why UL?

During recent trade shows, we found many people asking, “Why should I put in UL-325 compliant operators?” 

The answer is quite simple: LIABILITY!

In a climate that has made risk management paramount, we need to take every precaution to prevent potential injuries from occurring. UL-325 is a specific code standard that addresses just that, prevention of personal injury from automatic security gates.The UL-325 standard addresses two basic areas:

  1. Gate operator manufacturers, and
  2. Gate operator installers
Gate operator manufacturers must follow strict guidelines in order to maintain their UL listing. Gate operator installers are key to completing the UL compliance process. Manufacturers issue specific instructions that must be followed by the installer to maintain UL compliance. The additional cost of purchasing and installing per the UL-325 standard varies by gate operator type and brand.Slide and swing operators have a tendency to be more costly to install than a VPL, due to the additional equipment requirements. No matter which system you decide to install, choose safety first.
Choose a UL-325 compliant gate operator. The extra few dollars you spend now, could save you thousands later.
