3. Corries can fit a range of emergency access ironmongery to single and double leaf gates. When fitting to gates attention has to be paid to security to make sure access cannot be made easily by the use of emergency exit equipment. This can be achieved by using large plates to the gate and slamming post. Attention also needs to be made to where exit equipment fits into the slamming post.
Specification request: Gate/s to be fitted with appropriate emergency exit fittings.

6: Corries can manufacture the gates to be side hung. This can allow the gates to open in or out through 90 degrees. Alternatively the gates can be back hung to allow the gates to open in through 180 degrees or they can be face hung to open out through 180 degrees. Most sports fence gates are opened through 180 degrees as this allows the gate to be swung around to the back of the fence. Single gates can be hung on the left or the right.
Specification request: Specify between the following
Single leaf gate left/right hand side hung open in 90 degrees
Single leaf gate left/right hand side hung open out 90 degrees
Single leaf gate left/right hand back hung open in 180 degrees
Single leaf gate left/right hand face hung open out 180 degrees
Double leaf gate side hung open in 90 degrees
Double leaf gate side hung open out 90 degrees
Double leaf gate back hung open in 180 degrees
Double leaf gate face hung open out 180 degrees

Specification request: Gate/s to be fitted with adjustable hinges. The gate hanging stile will be reinforced to suit if required.
