Slide-A-Matic Sample Floorplans

The three available retractable safety fence floorplans are shown below. You can also download a printable PDF of these floor plans by clicking here.

SINGLE SLIDE-A-MATIC WITH ANCHOR & LATCH POSTS

This is the most common Slide-A-Matic profile. The gate can extend from the right to the left, or from the left to the right. A 6-panel gate can protect an opening of up to 20-ft. Anchor and Latch Posts can be mounted either in-line with the gate or offset.

DOUBLE SLIDE-A-MATIC GATE WITH CENTER LATCH

This profile is frequently used to protect wide openings. The gates extend from either side and latch in the center where they meet. At least one of the gates will have a Drop-Pin to the floor at the latching point to prevent the gates from being pushed inward/outward. NOTE:The gates do not have to be of equal length. A short gate, for instance, can serve as an entry door for quick in-out foot traffic while the longer gate remains in place.

CONVERGING GATES FROM OPPOSING DIRECTIONS

Note that the Extendamatic gates do not have to be of equal length and the angle does not have to be 90-degrees. Two sided protection such as this allows complete access to an area when retracted and swung to the side.
