Under the adopted Utah pool code, gates in a residential pool barrier must open outward, be self-closing, and self-latching. Public-pool gates must self-close and self-latch with the release 54 inches up, per R392-302-17.
The Utah Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC 2021) governs private pool safety across Davis County. Pedestrian access gates must open away from the pool, be self-closing and have a self-latching device; where the release is on the pool side and low, added protections apply. For public pools, Utah Admin Code R392-302-17 requires a self-closing gate with a self-latching mechanism at 54 inches (or a lock 34-48 inches up), and each pool enclosure must have at least one outward-opening exit gate. Doors and windows opening directly to a pool area may need alarms.
Non-self-latching or propped-open gates are common inspection failures for public pools and can trigger closure; for homes, a defective gate voids barrier compliance and is a drowning-liability hazard.
