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.

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.

Portable Collapsible Gates
Portable gates are ideal for construction sites and for use inside schools and hospitals where certain areas need to be restricted at certain times of day. In schools after hours, portable collapsible gates can be used to block off hallways and cafeteria areas. Hospitals can use them to restrict access to intensive care areas, laboratories, and other sensitive parts of the building.

Construction crews routinely use portable collapsible gates to stand in doorways and hallways of buildings that are still under construction, and to limit access to potentially dangerous areas and places where sensitive materials and equipment are being stored.

Portable gates collapse to 6 X 6.5ʼ when not in use and can be stored in closets or portable buildings when not in use.

Portable Security Gates

Each gate is made from two 6 ft. wide sections and stands 6 1/2 ft. tall when folded. It can be easily carried through any standard door and rolled easily for storage. Additional 6ʼ sections can be added to a gate so it can be used to cover larger openings or to block off outdoor areas. 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.

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.

Metal Security Gates

Easy Rack manufacturers the "Classic" design of folding metal security gate that has stood the test of time and proven its durability and reliability. Our folding metal gates and safety barriers are manufactured from 3/4" wide 14 gauge steel channel that is riveted back to back with solid steel rivets. Solid rivets give each gate the necessary strength to endure stress and perform reliably for years. Gate rails are made from 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/8" thick hot rolled angle iron that resists abuse and last longer than thinner alternatives. Drop pins are made of 5/8" round rod and all casters are steel. We thoroughly coat each metal security gate with black enamel paint.

Metal security gates barricade access points and create restricted areas for security and safety purposes. Made out of a strong, impenetrable lattice of 14-gauge channel steel, a metal security gate cannot be pushed or broken down. Because the lattice is technically mostly empty space, however, it provides clear visibility for surveillance, and it allows for building ventilation of fumes and excess heat.

There are four basic model designs of metal security gates that Easy Rack currently provides: single gates, double gates, door gates, and portable gates. Single and Double gates are mounted on hinge pins that allow you to swing them to the side like a doorway. The center of the gate is reinforced by a drop pin that prevents it from caving in when pushed either from the center or the top. This design makes the unit both durable and vandal resistant.

Metal Security Door Gates
These gates are intended to limit access to normal sized doors in commercial and industrial buildings. . Easy Rack has sizes that will fit all doors and will manufacture custom-sized gates on request. Metal security door gates offer industrial clients a versatile design that allows them to be mounted to lock on either the left or the right. Metal security door gates will mount on either the door frame recess or the outer wall surrounding the door frame. Either mounting option will allow the gate to be folded and swung to the side when it is not in use.

Single Metal security gates
These gates are made out of a single steel lattice and cover the entrance to any number of larger commercial doorways, such as bay doors or garage type doors. Standard locking position is on the left side, but custom ordered right side locking gates can be requested through your Easy Rack representative. To keep the gate from losing its center, single metal security gates feature a drop pin in the center which provides added stability in wider openings.

Double Metal Security Gates
Just as the name states, double metal security gates are two steel lattices connecting together in the center. This allows both sides to be swung completely 180 degrees out of the way when necessary. These are ideal metal security gates to use in front of dock entrances that have heavy vehicle traffic, such as fork trucks, pallet trucks, pickups, and vans.

Portable Metal Security Gates
These gates are used a great deal in construction environments. They provide portable security, and when they are folded up they are only 6.5ʼ high, they are small enough to fit through a standard door opening, and compact enough to be stored out of site. Portable metal security gates are easy to install and lock to the wall with a sample padlock hasp arrangement that comes included in your order.
