What is gate safety? It is about preventing the preventable
Automated gates are a convenient way to secure your property—but they can also be dangerous if installed or maintained incorrectly. Every year, people are injured (or worse) by gates that didn’t operate the way they were supposed to.
The good news? Almost every one of these incidents is 100% preventable.
Gate safety means making sure your gate:
- Stops when it should, reverses on contact, has the right safety features, and was installed by someone who understands the risks.

Bottom Line
Gate Safety is About access to the information
Gate safety isn’t about fear—it’s about awareness.
If you’re a homeowner, property manager, or developer, the best thing you can do is:
- Ask questions
- Use certified professionals
- Look for TGM-500™ compliant systems
- Make safety a non-negotiable
Your gate should make life easier—not more dangerous.
Look for a professional
Let us know if you need help finding a professional that installs per the TGM Standards.
Why are TGM Standards so impoRTAN?
TGM-500 & TGM-501 gives clear guidance.
Not all gates are created equal—and neither are the standards behind them.
For years, the industry has focused on whether a gate operator is built to meet a lab-tested standard. But that’s only half the story. The real risks happen during installation: when devices are skipped, signs aren’t posted, or safety zones are ignored.
That’s where TGM-500™ and TGM-501™ come in.
These contractor-developed safety standards were designed for the real world—the jobsite, not the lab. They give installers a clear, practical way to ensure gate systems are installed to reduce risk, not just to pass inspection.
The problem we are solving
Accident happen after installation
- Most injuries happen after installation—not during testing.
- Many property owners have no idea what their gate should include for safety.
- Too many installations are done without clear guidance or consistent standards.
The TGM Difference
TGM-500™ focuses on the gate operator installation—how it’s wired, positioned, and protected.
TGM-501™ focuses on gate construction—from hardware selection to frame design and swing clearance.
Together, they close the gap between certified equipment and actual safe use.
Why It Matters to Everyone
- Installers get a clear blueprint for best practices.
- Property owners get peace of mind.
- Manufacturers and AHJs can support a movement rooted in real safety, not just paperwork.
At GateSafety.com, we believe safety isn’t just a label. It’s a responsibility.
When a gate closes, your standards should stand guard.

Warning Signs Matter!
Why Warning Signs Are Strongly Recommended by TGM-500™
Warning signs are a simple yet powerful way to protect people near automatic gates. Under the TGM-500™ safety standard, they’re not just a good idea—they’re a recommended best practice.
Automatic gates are heavy, motorized, and move without warning. To a passerby, especially a child or a distracted adult, they can seem harmless—until it’s too late. That’s where clear, visible warning signs come in.
Here’s why TGM-500™ encourages their use:
1. Increase Awareness at the Point of Risk
A properly placed warning sign immediately alerts people that they are approaching a moving, automatic gate. This small step can stop someone from trying to walk through, reach over, or force the gate open—actions that can lead to serious injuries.
2. Reinforce Safety Behavior
Even if someone knows the risks, a visual reminder right at the gate can make them think twice before acting carelessly. It reinforces safe behavior for regular users, delivery drivers, and visitors alike.
3. Communicate Safety Standards
A TGM-500™ or TGM-501™ label on the sign tells property owners, inspectors, and contractors that the system was installed with safety in mind and follows an industry-backed guideline for protecting people—not just complying with manufacturer manuals.
4. Protect Installers and Property Owners
In the event of an accident, having clear warning signage shows that you made an effort to warn users and reduce risk. It’s a simple layer of protection that can demonstrate due diligence and safety-minded installation practices.
5. Promote Industry Credibility
As more property owners look for qualified, safety-aware professionals, displaying a TGM-compliant sign helps communicate that your work meets a higher standard. It’s a sign of professionalism—literally.
Encouragement to Use Them:
If you install gates, don’t skip the sign. Whether you’re installing a swing gate, slide gate, or vertical lift, a warning sign is an affordable, effective way to promote safety, support TGM-500™ standards, and add value to your installation.
Signs save lives. Make them part of every project.
Show you care. Install the sign.™
