What is the maximum gap allowed before the gate switch is opened on bi-parting doors?

The maximum gap allowed before the gate switch is opened on bi-parting doors is 3/4" Max. This standard is primarily designed to enhance safety and ensure proper functioning of the doors. If the gap exceeds this limit, it could indicate an obstruction or misalignment, potentially posing a safety hazard for individuals using the doors.

In addition, maintaining this specific gap helps in ensuring the door operates correctly and minimizes the risk of accidental activation or malfunction. The 3/4" maximum gap serves as a balance, ensuring ease of use while still upholding safety protocols typical in many building and mechanical systems. Proper adherence to this standard is vital for effective door operation and user safety.
