Abstract
A gate assembly including a frame for positioning in an opening through which selective entry is required. A barrier is mountable on the frame via a hinge and the barrier is movable relative to the frame between a closed position, wherein the opening is closed, to an open position, wherein the opening is open. An automatic closure mechanism is provided for moving the barrier from the open position to the closed position without user intervention. The automatic closure mechanism is associated with the hinge and includes at least two ramps or inclined surfaces on which at least part of the gate travels when moving between the open and closed positions.
