Frequently Asked Questions
SafePro Roof Hatch Safety Rails are patented and made of 100% steel, not fiberglass. The entire system consists of 10 bolts and four rails, and it can be installed in under 30 minutes. SafePro safety rails come with a 8-year warranty, and a three year finish warranty. The design is ergonomic, OSHA compliant, and eliminates the need for a ladder up or a telescoping pole. The self-closing gate provides two additional ladder rungs for safe and easy access to the roof.
Yes. Our roof hatch safety rails come in standard sizes and will retrofit on almost every brand of hatch currently being sold in the marketplace. Additionally, we can manufacture custom sizes to meet your needs.
One of the many things that sets us apart from other rails designs is the simple yet durable design. Our rails consist of only 10 bolts and 4 pieces, and can be installed in under 30 minutes. They are mounted to the drip edge, so no penetration takes place, and the roof warranty remains intact.
For standard in-stock items, we will ship within 4 business days. For non-standard (custom) or out-of-stock items, shipment will be 10 business days. The one exception is custom sized roof hatches, which can take up to 6 weeks.
