Description
Safetech Gate Handle – SHDL-150
The Safetech SHDL-150 Gate Handle is a stylish and practical pull handle designed for pedestrian gates, swing gates and general gate applications.
Manufactured from durable engineered polymer with rust-resistant stainless-steel fasteners, the SHDL-150 provides a comfortable hand grip while avoiding the corrosion and staining commonly associated with conventional unprotected metal gate hardware.
Its ergonomic curved design provides generous clearance for the user’s hand and knuckles, making the gate comfortable and easy to open and close.
🚪 Designed for Gates
The SHDL-150 has been specifically designed as a dedicated gate handle rather than a generic cabinet or door pull.
It provides a convenient grip point for manually opening and closing gates fitted with compatible latches and gate hardware.
Typical applications include:
- Pedestrian gates
- Aluminium gates
- Steel gates
- Timber gates
- Vinyl gates
- Residential gates
- Commercial pedestrian gates
- Garden gates
- Fence gates
✋ Ergonomic Handle Design
Safetech designed the SHDL-150 with a curved ergonomic profile that provides comfortable clearance around the user’s hand.
The increased clearance helps prevent fingers and knuckles from contacting the gate surface while the handle is being used.
This makes the handle particularly convenient on gates that are opened and closed frequently.
🎨 Clean Modern Appearance
Gate hardware is highly visible once an installation is complete, particularly on pedestrian gates.
The SHDL-150 features smooth curves and a clean black finish designed to complement modern aluminium, steel, timber and vinyl gate systems.
Its understated appearance works particularly well with contemporary aluminium gate and fencing designs.
🧱 Engineered Polymer Construction
The SHDL-150 is manufactured from engineered polymer.
Polymer construction provides a durable gate handle while eliminating the rust associated with conventional untreated steel handles.
This makes it particularly suitable for outdoor gate installations where hardware is continually exposed to changing weather conditions.
🌦️ Non-Corrosive Design
The engineered polymer handle body will not rust.
Safetech also uses rust-resistant stainless-steel fasteners to complement the polymer construction.
This makes the SHDL-150 an excellent choice for exterior gate installations where long-term corrosion resistance is important.
🔩 Stainless-Steel Fasteners
The SHDL-150 is supplied with suitable rust-resistant stainless-steel fixing hardware.
The combination of polymer and stainless steel provides a gate handle designed specifically for external applications.
🔨 Easy to Install
Safetech designed the SHDL-150 for straightforward installation.
The side-mounted fixing arrangement allows the handle to be securely attached to a suitable gate frame using the supplied fasteners.
The gate frame must provide a suitable mounting surface for the fixing screws.
🚪 Ideal for Aluminium Gates
The SHDL-150 is particularly well suited to aluminium pedestrian and swing gates.
Its black polymer construction complements commonly used black powder-coated aluminium gate frames while providing a practical grip for everyday operation.
It can be used on gates constructed from:
- Aluminium square tube
- Aluminium rectangular tube
- Aluminium slats
- Aluminium battens
- Decorative aluminium infills
🪵 Suitable for Multiple Gate Materials
Safetech specifies the SHDL-150 for use with:
- Aluminium gates
- Steel gates
- Timber gates
- Vinyl gates
This makes it a versatile handle for both new gate fabrication and compatible replacement applications.
🔗 Ideal with Gate Latches
The SHDL-150 can be installed alongside a compatible gate latch to provide a dedicated hand grip for opening and closing the gate.
Instead of pulling directly on the gate frame or latch mechanism, the user can operate the latch and then use the handle to move the gate.
This can provide a more comfortable and intuitive gate operation.
🏠 Residential Applications
The SHDL-150 is ideal for residential gate installations including:
- Front pedestrian gates
- Side access gates
- Garden gates
- Driveway pedestrian gates
- Boundary fence gates
- Courtyard gates
- Utility access gates
🏭 Commercial Applications
The handle can also be used on suitable commercial pedestrian gates and access points.
Its simple construction and corrosion-resistant materials make it suitable for gates that experience regular everyday use.
📐 Compact Profile
The SHDL-150 has an overall length of approximately 150–155mm.
Its compact profile provides sufficient hand clearance without creating an unnecessarily large piece of hardware on the gate.
This makes it particularly suitable for pedestrian gates manufactured from common aluminium gate framing sections.
