Security Gates

Security Gates

When you need to restrict access to a part of a building, entrance to a facility or secure areas off but you do not want to stop air flow or visibility, security gates are the perfect solution.

Rolling gates are constructed with solid metal rods that are spaced 2” apart with a series of metal links that connect the rods together. The space between the gate’s rod connecting links are normally 9” apart, however, 3” or 6” is available to create smaller openings. This provides superior security people from being able to enter an area however it does not seal off the area so temperature and air flow continues as if the space was open. For additional security, there are upgrade options for heavy-duty links.

Another appealing aspect that roll down security grilles offer is increased visibility. In a storefront or mall setting for instance, it is important to make sure all property and products are safe from theft but still offer appeal when the business is not open. Rolling gates allow visitors to still see within the business without the fear of being stolen. Windows offer this to some degree but do not provide as much security if smashed. For protection against air born damage, such as vandalism, commercial gates can be sealed with flameproof polycarbonate panel inserts and still offer solid, clear protection. 

Installing a coiling gate system can transform a building into multiple usable sections. But security does not have to be an eyesore. Our standard rolling gates can be manufactured with regular or anodized aluminum as well as stainless steel. For a custom look, overhead gates can be powder coated in any one of our stock 180 colors or even custom colors can be created.

Overhead rolling gates are often stored out of sight in a ceiling or fixture. However, when that is not possible, we offer metal hood and operator covers that protect the coil from exterior weather, debris or to meet OSHA or UL 325 safety requirements. For even further aesthetics, the addition of a trim package can cover any unsightly hardware and even blend or contribute to the building’s architecture. This is often found in hotels, convention centers, hospitals and other facilities where installation aesthetics are important. 

For locations that require enhanced security, our heavy duty gates still provide air flow and visibility increased security. Featuring closer spacing, heavier gauge links and increased tube spacers, these coiling gates are custom designed for your needs. The increased metal in our heavy duty grilles ensure increased security and longevity with all the finishing options available, such as powder coating, to still make an extremely appealing security deterrent.

Roll up gates are created to block and obstruct access to areas, but what happens in an emergency when you need quick access to these areas? Our emergency response safety gate system automatically opens the interior gates so that emergency personnel can access areas and people inside have additional means of egress to exit a building when needed. Additionally, panic buttons can be installed to open safety gates and activate alarms simultaneously. Emergency response safety gate systems feature auto locks that prevent the manual opening of the security gate. Safety gates will automatically reset once an emergency is cleared.

Sometimes an establishment needs security gates that add to the décor. Our SteelWeave metal mesh gates are tightly woven metal gates is several decorative patterns that not only feature superior security but enhance the look of a business. The elegant look shouldn’t fool you, woven metal mesh security gates are one of the most secure gates we offer. For advanced aesthetics, logos or images can be etched into the gate curtain for custom branding. Custom manufactured 316 stainless steel gates will provide long-lasting protection with a stunning look that still offers visibility. This roll down security gate is a perfect security solution for restaurants, bars, malls and any high-end store that really wants to set itself above the rest.

Not all security grilles are planned ahead of time.
