Security Gates

Security gates can be installed in front of dock doors, lift-up doors, hallways, and entranceways. They improve security, prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas, maintain ventilation to the building, and provide guards and managers with visibility in both directions. They are used extensively throughout the industrial, manufacturing, commercial and even educational and healthcare industries. Major factories major factories, shipping operations, railways, airports, military bases, warehousing complexes, retailers, schools, universities, hospitals, medical laboratories, and office buildings all use security gates to maintain a more controlled environment at all times.

Security gates are made from 3/4" wide 14 gauge steel channel that have been riveted together back to back. The upright rails of the gate are hot rolled angled iron that keeps the gate from being pushed or broken through. To prevent the gate from being bowed inward from the very center or pressed down from above, a drop pin in the center of the gate immobilizes it and adds extra strength and stability.

Easy Rack gates can be obtained in any of four standard model types that can be further customized to fit uncommonly sized access points. Every gate features a locking bar to accommodate a standard padlock. Every security gate will also pivot 180 degrees to the side when it is not being used. Please keep in mind that it is normal for the gate to drop approximately one inch in height when it is extended across the doorway. When ordering, estimate gate height one inch above listed measurement to compensate for this slight variation.

Door Security Gates
Door gates are intended to fit door openings that measure 24" to 48" wide and 61" to 83" high. They are frequently used in office buildings to restrict access to doors in the backs of building. Small retailers and gas stations also use them to protect their storage areas late at night. Door security gates are manufactured with a reversible hinge design that allows you to mount them on either the left or right side of the door. You can either mount them in the door casing or in door opening itself.

Single Security Gates
These single-piece security gates are made do cover openings measuring 4-1/2ʼ X 7-1/2ʼ wide and up to 8ʼ in height. They are very often mounted over industrial bay doors, garage doors, and warehouse doors. Standard locking position for these gates is on the left side, but you can also have them customized to lock on the right side if required. As in the case of door gates, single security gates will mount either over the doorway itself or over the door casing. A ball bearing caster allows you to conveniently extend and retract the gate.

Double Security Gates
These large, two-piece gates will mount over industrial doors of any kind measuring up to 10ʼ in height. They are ideal for dock doors and overhead doors that have to permit vehicle as well as human traffic to pass through. Both sides of the gate pivot outward from the center a full 180 degrees. Double security gates lock together in the center with a standard padlock. Easy Rack will these gates to fit any size width of dock or overhead door

Portable Security Gates
Portable gates are used by schools and hospitals where certain areas must be restricted after normal hours of operation. Schools block off hallways and cafeteria areas with portable gates after students leave the building. Hospitals use portable security gates to block off certain areas of the building at night to restrict traffic only to key hallways and rooms.

Construction crews frequently rely on portable gates as safety tools. Workers mount them in doorways and hallways of buildings to prevent access to unfinished or unsafe areas. Portable gates collapse to a convenient 6 X 6.5ʼ when they are not being used and can be stored in closets or portable buildings.
