Note: This premium safety and visibility kit offers the most comprehensive protection available for extended-length barrier systems. The combination of LED lighting, reversing edge technology, and breakaway functionality provides maximum protection against damage while enhancing operational visibility. For complete barrier gate safety, DoorKing requires the use of appropriate primary safety devices such as in-ground loops or photocells. The safety features in this kit provide important secondary protection but are not intended to be the sole safety system. Always follow manufacturer installation guidelines and safety recommendations to ensure proper system operation and compliance with safety standards.
