# Press-Locked Steel Grating ![Press-Locked Steel Grating product photo for project quotation](https://qymetaltech.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/qymt-press-locked-steel-grating-gallery-01.jpg) Steel Grating Press-locked steel grating uses pressure-fitted cross bars to create a clean, uniform grid. It is often reviewed for visible platforms, screens, ventilation panels and close-mesh floor areas where appearance and spacing matter. **Bearing bar** **Pressed cross bar** **Mesh pitch** **Panel layout** **Material & finish** [Send RFQ](https://qymetaltech.com/press-locked-steel-grating/#rfq)[Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/8615152256390) **Email** sales@qymetaltech.com **Files** PDF, DWG, DXF, sketches and product photos are welcome. Buyer overview ## Press-Locked Steel Grating is quoted by grid pitch, bar size, panel layout and finish Confirm bearing bar direction, cross bar pitch, mesh opening, panel size, support span, material, finish and any cutouts before quotation. For appearance-sensitive panels, note the visible face, edge banding, close-mesh requirement, cutouts and packing marks so production can match the approved drawing. ### Bearing bar Height, thickness, pitch and load-bearing direction should match the support span. ### Pressed cross bar Cross bar size and spacing define the uniform grid appearance. ### Mesh pitch Standard or close mesh is selected for walking, screening or ventilation use. ### Panel layout Overall size, cutouts, banding, face side and fixing details should follow drawings. ### Material & finish Carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel or aluminum with HDG, paint, powder coat or stainless finish. Specification options ## Press-Locked Steel Grating specification options Use these options to confirm bar size, pressed cross bar layout, mesh pitch and drawing-based fabrication before quotation. ![Press-Locked Steel Grating - Bearing bar and pitch](https://qymetaltech.com/wp-content/uploads/qymt-img-20261017/qymt-press-locked-steel-grating-02.webp) ### Bearing bar and pitch Confirm bearing bar height, thickness, pitch and load direction from the support layout. ### Pressed cross bar layout Confirm cross bar size, spacing and visible grid appearance before production. ### Panel fabrication Confirm cutouts, banding, face side, marks and installation sequence by drawing. ## Press-locked grating technical reference | Bearing bar | Confirm bar height, thickness, pitch and bearing direction according to span and load. | |---|---| | Pressed cross bar | Confirm cross bar size, pitch and whether a standard or close-mesh layout is required. | | Panel layout | Overall size, cutouts, notches, banding and fixing details should follow drawings. | | Visible face | For architectural or screen panels, mark the face side and any appearance requirement before production. | | Material and finish | Carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel or aluminum can be reviewed with HDG, paint, powder coat or stainless finish. | Design notes ## Confirm the details that control grid appearance and installation Panel size, support condition, mesh pitch, visible face, cutouts and edge banding decide whether a press-locked grating quote can be prepared accurately. For replacement panels, photos of the old panel and marked dimensions help confirm pitch, bearing direction and fixing position when full CAD drawings are not available. Standards reference ## Standards, finish and visible-face requirements to review - Press-locked grating can be reviewed by drawing, bar size, mesh pitch, load notes and project standards such as YB/T 4001.1, ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531 or BS 4592 when required. - Hot-dip galvanizing, painting, powder coating, stainless finish or aluminum finish should be selected by exposure, appearance and maintenance expectation. - Visible panels should confirm face side, edge banding, burr control and surface appearance before production. - Final specification should follow approved drawings, load notes, local safety requirements and buyer approval documents. Specification examples ## Common press-locked grating RFQ expressions | P325/30/100 panel | 32 x 5 mm bearing bar with 30 mm bearing pitch and 100 mm cross bar pitch; final span is checked by load. | |---|---| | Close-mesh panel | Closer bar or cross bar pitch for screens, ventilation panels or visible walking areas. | | Stainless or aluminum option | Material option for clean, corrosive or appearance-sensitive service areas. | | Cut-to-size panel set | Panel size, openings, banding, face side and marks confirmed by drawing. | Use these expressions as starting points only; final pitch, bar size, span, material, finish and cutouts should follow drawings.

Project notes ## Confirm grid appearance, drawings and packing before production For project supply, press-locked grating should be checked against the panel drawing, visible face, installation area and export packing sequence before production. Clear panel marks, edge banding notes and finish requirements reduce revisions and make the quotation easier to compare. ## Factory review checklist - Bearing bar height, thickness, pitch and direction - Pressed cross bar size, pitch and mesh opening - Panel size, support span, cutouts and banding - Material, finish, visible face and surface expectation - Quantity, destination port, packing marks and delivery notes. FAQ ## Common press-locked steel grating questions How is press-locked grating different from welded grating? Press-locked grating has cross bars pressed into the bearing bars, giving a cleaner and more uniform grid. Welded grating is the usual choice for heavy industrial floors and cost efficiency. When should I choose press-locked grating? For visible platforms, building screens, ventilation panels and close-mesh areas where appearance or exact openings matter. What does a code like P325/30/100 mean? 32 × 5 mm bearing bars at 30 mm pitch with cross bars at 100 mm pitch. The final span is checked against your load. Which materials are available? Carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel or aluminum, with hot-dip galvanized, painted, powder-coated or stainless finish. Can press-locked grating be made with a close mesh? Yes. A closer bearing-bar or cross-bar pitch can be used for screens, ventilation panels or walking areas that need smaller openings. Why should the visible face be marked on drawings? For architectural panels, marking the face side lets production control edge banding, burrs and surface appearance on the side people will see.
