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.

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.
