A leaf gate can be either single or double-leaf. Mostly the gate leaves are symmetrically the same size, but if necessary, the gate leaves can also be made in different widths. Leaf gates are generally used in areas where there is some need for vehicle traffic. Depending on the case, a leaf gate can be opened either inwards or outwards. The gate can be mainly closed or can be kept open by, for example, the use of land latch . Leaf gates, which are also referred to as maintenance and drillholes, are particularly used for example for the properties of the schools, kindergartens, playgrounds and sports fields.
