Updated 2026 roof hatch guardrail assembly; 36X series with standard extension and same-side gate shown

Roof Hatch Guardrail

Updated October 2026: Current modular roof hatch guardrail design.

Protection at the point of access

The Leading Edge Safety Roof Hatch Guardrail System surrounds the hatch opening with rails, handholds, a walkout area and a self-closing gate for the ladder-to-roof transition.

What changed in the 2026 design

Mounting brackets and upright posts now install separately. The new design breaks the system into smaller, lighter components, making each piece easier to handle and position during installation. The included predrill template helps accurately locate mounting holes before installation.

  1. Use the included hole template to locate mounting holes.
  2. Install the series-specific mounting brackets.
  3. Position and fasten the separate upright posts, then complete the rails, ladder grabs, walkout components and gate as shown in the current manual.

Select the system for your hatch

30X, 36X and 48X identify nominal hatch-width series. Actual fit is based on outside drip-edge dimensions, hatch construction and exit direction. Same-side and 90-degree layouts have different dimensional limits. Standard, XL and XXL extensions apply to eligible same-side layouts.

Thermally broken hatches require different mounting brackets. Send your hatch dimensions, photos, desired exit direction, project location and quantity so our sales team can help identify the configuration.
