DHF launches Automated Gate Video to mark ‘Gate Safety Month’


DHF (Door & Hardware Federation) has announced that it will mark another Gate Safety Month with a new animated video for Automated Gate Group members.

The video, ‘Why use a DHF trained engineer for your Automated Gate or Barrier Installation,’ can be viewed here.

“As well as running through the installation process, highlighting how safety is achieved, and emphasising why it is vital to use a DHF trained engineer, the video also demonstrates that without adequate safety measures and compliance, automated gates and traffic barriers can put people and organisations at risk,” explains DHF’s Commercial Director, Patricia Sowsbery-Stevens. 

 “It is therefore essential that they are correctly designed and installed by trained installation engineers, for example, DHF members.”


The video launch comes on the 10th anniversary of the ‘gate safety’ campaign that the federation started in 2014, with the aim to promote the continued safe installation, repair, and maintenance of automated gates. 

Initially called ‘Gate Safety Week’, the campaign was re-named ‘Gate Safety Month’ and has since become a year-round campaign aimed at creating awareness and educating both the public and industry professionals on the dangers of poor installation and maintenance, as well as how to spot an unsafe gate.

Over a ten-year period, Gate Safety Month has established a reputation as a highly effective campaign that continues to collaborate with organisations such as HSE and the British Safety Council to raise awareness and advocate for higher standards across the industry.

“Automated gates are continuing to prove a highly popular choice for consumers, and our objective to raise awareness has never been more important,” concludes Patricia. 

“DHF’s message remains: Safe Gates Save Lives! and we hope this new animated video will help educate the industry on safety and compliance. We would urge our members to share this on their websites, social media platforms and with potential and existing customers.”
