Portable Security Gates

Each gate is made from two 6 ft. wide sections and stands 6 1/2 ft. tall when folded. It can be easily carried through any standard door and rolled easily for storage. Additional 6ʼ sections can be added to a gate so it can be used to cover larger openings or to block off outdoor areas. The gate is made from standard type 14 gauge channel and locks to the wall by means of a locking bar and padlock.

A number of organizations and institutions use portable security gates to protect their property and restrict access on an as need basis.

Hospital Portable Security Gates
Traffic in hospitals falls off greatly after visiting hours. Only those people who are spending the night with a loved one tend to be in the building. These individuals do not need access to the entire building. They only require access to the personʼs room, break rooms, and restrooms. Hospitals will use steel portable security gates to block access to hallways that are not being used and to limit access to specific units by blocking off all entryways except for one. This keeps the facility quieter so patients can rest. It also helps keep the hospital cleaner by only allowing only limited traffic in hallways.

School Portable Security Gates
Schools have to keep a close watch on theft and vandalism. They commonly use portable security gates both in the building and outside the building to prevent access to the building. Places such as athletic equipment storage areas, science labs, cafeterias, and school offices are vulnerable to break-in if not protected. Certain outdoor structures and areas can also be the targets of vandalism. Portable folding security gates can be placed in front of these areas as a protective measure.

Construction Site Portable Security Gates
Many times when buildings are erected doorways are immediately cut in the wall. However, the interior of the new structure is not yet ready for general human occupancy. Workers who assume that an open door in the side of the building is the best and quickest way to enter may walk into any number of dangerous, or even deadly, safety hazards. Portable security gates placed over these doors can literally save a workerʼs life. Some crews may required by safety codes to use them. If you are a general contractor, mechanical contractor, or electrical contractor, it is always good to keep portable industrial security gates on hand just in case.

Public Event Portable Security Gate
Cities will often host public events and holiday celebrations at the city hall or civic center. Portable security gates are ideal for these events in two respects. They can be used to cordon off sidewalks that lead to areas where people do not need to be. Doorways into the building can be blocked with them as well it to prevent access to sensitive areas, and interior hallways that lead to break areas and restrooms can be open to the public and adjoining areas blocked with portable metal security gates.
