Security Gates

Another appealing aspect that roll down security gates 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. Roll up security 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 security gates can be sealed with flameproof polycarbonate panel inserts and still offer solid, clear protection. 

Installing a security 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.

Parking garage gate systems con consist of several different deterrents to control access to a parking garage. Only a commercial security gate secures the opening access for both vehicles and pedestrians. Due to the compact construction, coiling security gates weren’t also an option as the headroom needed to install the metal gates reduced the parking garage opening too much. However, Cookson has developed the MicroCoil security grille, which features a patented link nesting design. The MicroCoil coils in an unbelievable 13”, almost half the space of any other commercial rollup gate. This makes it a perfect choice for any rolling gate or safety gate solution where smaller headroom is desired. But in addition to the compact design, the MicroCoil security grille features high speeds, opening at up to 24” per second and a springless, direct drive without any sprockets and chain to wear or replace. The nested link design and variable-frequency drive that ensures a, much quieter, smooth start and stop.  All together you get a more compact, high speed, maintenance free, long lasting high performance security gate that can’t be found anywhere else.

Controlled by our Apex SmartController, even setting up and commissioning the rolling safety gate limits and messages is a breeze.
