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.

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.

Choosing Your Portable Security Gate
Decide if you will mount the gate within the entrance or in front of the door casing to the entrance, and measure the appropriate height or width. Consult with an Easy Rack specialist if you need a custom size, or find a standard size portable security gate in our inventory that matches the dimensions you require.

Industrial Security Gates

Industrial security gates are designed to cover access points of different types and sizes. Consisting of a sturdy, impenetrable lattice work of 14-gauge channel steel, an industrial security gate cannot be pushed through or broken down. At the same time, it allows clear visibility either into or out of a building, and it helps ventilate fumes, industrial by products, and excess heat from industrial plants and warehouses.

There are four types of industrial security gates: single gates, double gates, door gates, and portable gates. Single gates and Double gates mount on hinge pins that allow workers to pivot the gate to the side and out of the way when the doorway is open to traffic. Drop pins located at the center of both single and double gates prevent the steel lattice from caving in when pushed or collapsing under its own center of gravity. This design makes each unit impenetrable and extremely durable. Protection from the elements and added durability also comes from a thick coat of black enamel paint applied to every gate at the time of manufacture.

Specific features and benefits of each model follow:

Industrial Security Door Gates

They can be left open for both ventilation and light. Easy Rack has sizes to fit all doors, and special custom sizes can be ordered through a material handling specialist to fit less common sizes. Industrial door gates feature a versatile design that allows them to be mounted to lock on either the left or the right for loading dock doorways. Security door gates can be mounted either in the recess of the door frame or on the outside wall adjacent to the doorway. This allows the gate to be folded and swung to the side like a pivot to move it out of the way when it is not being used.

Single Industrial security gates
These gates consist of a single lattice of steel to cover the entrance to any number of commercial doorways and building access points. Single folding security gates ship standard to lock on the left side, but they can easily be custom ordered to lock on the right side. The center drop pin reinforces the unit and provides a sturdy barrier against intrusion.

Double Industrial Security Gates
Based upon the same design as single units, double gates are simply two steel lattices connecting together in the center. This allows either side or both sides to be swung completely 180 degrees out of the way when not in use. These are ideal industrial steel security gates to use in front of entrances that have heavy vehicle traffic, such as fork trucks, pallet trucks, pickups, and vans.

Portable Industrial Security Gates
These gates are ideal for construction environments when doorways that have been cut but not yet completely constructed. They provide movable security, and when they are folded up they are only 6.5’ high…small enough to fit through a standard door opening, and compact enough to be stored out of site. Portable security gates are easy to install and lock to the wall with a sample padlock hasp arrangement that comes included in your order.

Folding Door Security Gates

Warehouse or garage doors do not always succeed in barring access to unauthorized personnel. Intruders can enter almost any door with enough determination. Door security gates add a layer of security to buildings that need to restrict or prohibit access through one or more of its doors. They are made from a folding lattice of sturdy ¾”channel that expands and covers the entrance to the doorway, and they can be mounted either in the casing or the facing of the door opening.

Folding security door gates are designed to restrict access to door openings ranging between 24” and 48” in width and 61” to 83” in height. Door security gates feature a reversible hinge design that allows them to be mounted to either the left side or the right side of the doorway. When opened, they will pivot a full 180 degrees to allow safe and convenient access to the building. Each door security gate includes a locking bar to secure the unit and block unauthorized access and/or intrusion.

Almost any building can benefit from a security door gate or safety accessories. Small boutiques and convenience stores top this list because deliveries usually come through a door in the back of the business that can be easily broken if additional security measures are not taken. Having a gate on the door can discourage burglars looking for an easy target, and it can also possibly qualify a business for an insurance break if the carrier recognizes the value in added security.

Convenience stores and gas stations also can use these gates to secure doorways to garage areas, storage areas, and private offices. This not only protects property, but also human life, because many convenience stores and gas stations stay open 24 hours a day, and whoever is on duty is most vulnerable to a burglary through the rear of the building. Adding a security door gate is something every 24 hour facility should strongly consider as a precaution against theft and violent crime. Industrial facilities can also use security gates on doors that lead to restricted areas. Because these safety gates and barriers are controlled by padlocks, it is a simple matter to issue a key to only those who need to be in that part of the building.

Installing security door gates is simple. You simply stand the folded gate against the door frame and mark the mounting surface through the holes in the hinge bar. It works best if you use 5/16 X 2” lag bolts if you are mounting it with wood. If you are mounting the door security gate with steel, drill and tap for 5/16 X 2” lag bolts in 3/8” holes. Then, drill appropriately sized holes in the mounting surface, and then mount the gate by inserting the screws through the hinge bar. Once you have the security door gate securely mounted, stretch it across the opening and line up the padlock hole in the locking bar with the padlock hole in the gate. Next, mark the mounting holes of the locking bar with a pen or pencil, drill the holes, and mount the locking bar with screws. Now the security door gate is ready to be pulled shut, and locked with a padlock.
