Automatic Sliding Gate Defects

Many homes, apartments and/or homeowner associations use automatic sliding gates for security reasons. What most people don't realize is that automatic sliding gates are very, very dangerous to children and adults. Children and adults can be severely injured or killed if they become entrapped in the gates as they are automatically opened or closed. The injuries include cuts, broken bones, brain injuries and amputations. Many older gates do not have sensing devices or reversing mechanisms to prevent these entrapments.

Gate entrapment injuries often occur to children. We have received internal Stanley documents which indicate that Stanley Works has notice of dozens and dozens of consumers have become entrapped in Stanley sliding gate operators. Stanley, like the rest of the sliding gate manufacturers, had safety devices available since the 1960's. However, it has only been in very recent years that gate operator manufacturers have informed consumers of gate operator hazards and have placed internal and external anti-entrapment devices on sliding gate operators.
