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.
