Commercial Folding Door Gates

What are folding gates used for?
They are primarily used to limit access to buildings and passageways without blocking ventilation or obstructing visibility. Warehouses and factories often use folding security gates to protect building entrances, bay doors, docks, and rear entrances to plants. Schools, hospitals, homes, and offices can also benefit from metal folding gates when extra security measures are desired and determined appropriate.

What folding gates do you recommend for securing door openings?
We recommend you use folding steel security gates for doors ranging from 24" to 48" wide and 61" to 83" high. These gates are built with a reversible hinge design that allows them to be mounted to either the right side or the left side of the doorway in either the casing or the face of the opening. Each gate includes a locking bar that you can lock with a padlock. When not in use, the folding security gates will pivot 180 degrees out of the way when open.

What is the best gate to use for a standard door opening to a house or a garage?
One-piece gates are the best gates to use for this. You can install them in standard openings, patio doors, garages, and industrial and commercial entrances measuring 4-1/2' to 7-1/2' wide and up to 8' in height. Single folding door gates are manufactured to lock on the left (default position), but an Easy Rack specialist can have them made to lock on the right side. Like a door gate, a one-piece gate can pivot 180 degrees when not in use, and is stabilized and centered by a drop pin.

What is the best gate to use for protecting our storefront?
The best choice is a double folding gate. It can be custom fitted to any size width, and a maximum height of 10'. Because they are Double Gates, each side will swing 180 degrees out of the way, allowing the collapsible gates to be used with dock and overhead doors in industrial facilities that need an unobstructed passage for vehicles and material handling equipment to pass through.

Do you make smaller, portable folding gates?
Yes. portable folding gates are made with a two piece design consisting of dual 6ʼ X 6.5ʼ sections and are most commonly used by schools and hospitals. They are easy to install because they can pass through standard door heights and be can be rolled up for convenient storage.

Industrial Light Fixtures

Energy Efficient Indoor & Outdoor Industrial Lighting Fixtures Will Save You Money.
Industrial lighting must be able to accommodate a wide variety of needs ranging from commercial warehouse lighting, car lot lighting to area lighting for detailed tasks. Industrial lighting must also light warehouse areas that are light contrasting such as those with and without day lighting. Industrial lighting does have a significant impact on employee safety and productivity, because an inadequately lit area can create eye fatigue and lower morale.

If you have employees assembling printed circuit boards for example, need adequate overhead and task lighting that does not create glare. Warehouse areas require high intensity lights placed on poles or hung from the ceiling as opposed to workstations which may require simple overhead fluorescent lighting. There are different industrial lighting lamps and fixtures depending on the height of the facility.

Save Time with Commercial & Industrial Light Fixtures.
In the industrial workplace, there are many commercial lighting needs. Industrial lighting is not just for factory or warehouse floors. Industrial buildings are also composed of hallways, aisles, offices and computer rooms which may be enormous in size. Large scale industrial lighting is available for each of these areas and also for emergency exit and outdoor wall pack lighting. When you shop for industrial lighting, you will find numerous lighting choices including standard and pulse start halides, energy efficient fluorescent, and lighting which preserve natural colors in the environment while making it more desirable for employees.

It is important to buy high quality lighting. Cheap commercial or industrial pole lights will degrade quickly over time, putting out less and less lumens. Because the degradation occurs over time and the bulbs or lamps keep working, you may not even realize the industrial lighting is not working at maximum efficiency. The best industrial lighting will maintain their close to maximum lumens for the life of the lamps. Therefore, a regular lamp change program should be implemented around average lamp life of the fixture you select. HID lamps and fluorescent lamps offer the most cost effective solutions for commercial industrial lighting applications.

With a better understanding of how industrial lighting impacts productivity, it is easy to improve your lighting standards. Industrial lighting and fixtures from Easy Rack are now designed to save you money while improving the ability of your employees to get the job done right the first time. From that standpoint, industrial lighting contributes to quality control as much as it conserves energy.
