HTG-M Mesh Full Height ADA Gate

Our HTG-M full height gates with mesh infill provide the same floor to ceiling level of security coverage as our full height turnstiles while simultaneously providing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant clear opening for disabled entrants.

These HTG-M full height gates are outfitted with mesh infill for advanced reach through protection and can even come from the factory with an optional panic bar to be your perfect emergency exit solution. Our HTG-M works great as a standalone access control solution, but it really shines when paired with one of our SecureTurn series full height turnstiles to provide a comprehensive access control solution.

All Hayward Turnstiles full height ADA gates are designed for accessibility, but they are also often used as an alternate entrance for people with push carts, deliveries, strollers, tools, and any other object that would not easily fit through a regular full height turnstile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Refer to these FAQs about our HTG-M Mesh Full Height ADA Gate for more information.

What is the exact mesh opening size, and does it meet specific security standards?

The HTG-M uses heavy-gauge ½” #13 flattened tight-weave mesh to create a more secure barrier than an open-frame gate. The tight mesh helps deter reach-through and tampering while still maintaining visibility through the gate. This makes it well-suited for high-security entrances where physical protection and sightlines are important.

The HTG-M is designed as a security-focused full height gate, but specific project or agency security standards should be reviewed against the requirements of the individual application.

What are the specific ADA compliance requirements, and what is the minimum clear opening width?

The HTG-M is designed for use as an ADA-accessible passage alongside full height turnstiles. It provides a 36″ clear opening, exceeding the ADA minimum of 32″ for most door and gate openings and providing comfortable clearance for wheelchair users and other mobility device users. 

Accessibility involves more than opening width. The HTG-M is also designed with appropriate opening force, self-closing operation, and accessible operating hardware so the gate can be used independently by people with disabilities. Under the ADA Standards, accessible manual gates must meet requirements covering:

• Opening force.
• Closing speed.
• Hardware operation and height.
• Maneuvering clearance.
• Thresholds.
• The accessible route surrounding the gate.

Because ADA compliance ultimately applies to the complete installed entrance, proper approach clearances, floor conditions, thresholds, hardware placement, and surrounding construction must also be considered. When properly specified and installed, the HTG-M provides the accessible passage needed in a full height security entrance without requiring wheelchair users to pass through the rotating turnstile itself.

What is the price range for the HTG-M gate, and what accessories or integration components are included vs. sold separately?

The price range for our HTG-M gate is competitive, though you can contact Hayward access control experts for a more accurate price. Your purchase includes essential components like a full panic bar, a self-closing hinge, a manual key, and electronic entry/exit functionality. Additionally, optional accessories such as an 85dB panic bar alarm, electronic push buttons, and card reader mounting plates are available to enhance your gate’s capabilities.

Can the HTG-M be used for emergency egress?

Yes. The HTG-M is designed with a mechanical panic bar that allows users to exit from the secured side without requiring an electronic credential or powered release. This makes it particularly valuable in full height turnstile installations where the rotating turnstiles themselves may not be the appropriate path for emergency egress.

The gate can therefore serve two purposes within the same secured entrance:

1. Controlled access for individuals with disabilities during normal operation
2. A wider emergency exit path when needed

Final life-safety and egress requirements should always be confirmed for the specific project and installation.

Can the HTG-M accommodate deliveries, carts, tools, and other items that cannot pass through a full height turnstile?

Yes. This is one of the primary reasons the HTG-M is commonly installed alongside full height turnstiles.

A rotating full height turnstile is designed to move individual pedestrians through a controlled passage, which makes it impractical for wheelchairs, large deliveries, carts, toolboxes, equipment, and other bulky items. The HTG-M provides a wider unobstructed opening for these users and materials while maintaining the floor-to-ceiling security of the surrounding turnstile array.

That makes it especially useful at construction sites, manufacturing facilities, fulfillment centers, utilities, and other locations where both pedestrian security and material movement need to be accommodated.

Can the HTG-M attach to neighboring turnstiles and/or walls?

Yes, the HTG-M gate can attach to neighboring turnstiles. For instance, an optional mounting bracket kit allows you to affix the gate to adjacent turnstiles, such as our SecureTurn full height models. It can be used to adjust the total height to match other brands’ turnstiles.
