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.

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
These steel security gates are designed for normal sized entry doors found in any type of building, including office buildings and portable buildings. 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.
