Guide Rails 

Larco guide rails provide added protection and stability to your automatic door installation, combining durability and aestically pleasing features. Required for ANSI compliance in all swinging doors and folding doors, guide rails prevent accidents and direct traffic flow through the door. They also provide a point of stability for pedestrians entering and exiting. Larco guide rails are made of a durable anodized aluminum, which means you will benefit from a guide rail that will last.

Specifications

Material and Construction
Standard Larco guide rails and glass guards are constructed of 1-1/2" x 1/2" anodized aluminum extrusion.

Optional heavy duty rails using 1-3/4" x 1/2" extrusion are available in most guide rail styles. Please specify "heavy duty" when ordering.

All guide rails include heavy duty solid aluminum rail feet and all necessary mounting hardware crafted of stainless steel to protect against rusting and corrosion. For enhanced stability, the guide rail's leg can be extended 6" below its mounting feet for core drilling.

The standard radius on curved rails is 6".

Colors
Larco guide rails come standard with a clear or dark bronze finish. Custom anodized finishes are available upon request.

Panels
Larco offers a variety of panels and inserts. The standard guide rail panel is constructed of 1/4" black sintra. Additional sintra colors available include red, white, and blue. Mesh panels also are available in clear and bronze.

Non-Standard Rails
Special rails or guards of any length, height, or shape are available upon request, including vestibule dividers, cart corrals, etc. Guide rail/remote post combinations are also available.

Customers may specify modifications to any of our standard guide rails, such as removing panels or mesh or removing wall switch or safety beam cutouts. For these and other options, contact Larco for more information.
