Safety Rail Source® partners with Kee® Safety to offer Kee Hatch® Railing along with self-closing gates. Hatch railings are either galvanized or aluminum barriers installed around roof hatches to prevent falls through the hatches. We offer over 80 OSHA-compliant models for every size of access hatch. In addition, SRS partners with Belmont Safety® to offer the NextGen Lift & Lock™ Roof Hatch Opener, which provides roof hatch safety and security. It enables users to open, close, lock and unlock roof hatches quickly and easily while standing at the base of the ladder. All Kee products are made in USA. See our official Declaration.

NextGen Lift & Lock™ Roof Hatch Opener
Choosing the Right Roof Hatch Guardrail System
When selecting a hatch guardrail, industrial and commercial facilities must meet specific structural requirements. OSHA standard 1910.28(b)(3)(v) requires that all exposed sides of a roof hatch opening be guarded by a railing system and a self-closing gate.
Kee Hatch® Galvanized Steel: Ideal for high-traffic roof areas and environments demanding maximum durability. The self-closing safety gate is tested for up to 50,000 openings. These systems feature corrosion-resistant fittings.
Kee Hatch® Aluminum (Mighty-Lite): The perfect option for harsh, coastal, or high-moisture environments where weight minimization and superior rust resistance are priorities.
Mechanical Hatch Openers: For comprehensive protection, combine your perimeter railing with the NextGen Lift & Lock™ Roof Hatch Opener. This allows workers to safely open, close, and lock the roof hatch from the safety of the ground without needing an electrical hookup or relying on batteries.
Galvanized Self-Closing Gates are provided with each hatch guardrail kit. The gates are easy to install. The gate closing tension is adjusted using one wrench on top of the spring cylinder and one on the bottom of the cylinder.
Our Ladder Safety Gates can be purchased separately. This premium, galvanized Industrial Safety Gate is suited for constant use and tested for up to 50,000 openings. It's also available in powder coated safety-yellow, over galvanized. For harsh environments, choose the Kee Hatch® Mighty Lite model made of aluminum and stainless steel.
