Gates are the entry and exit points of most secured areas. They can be automated, allowing them to have a variety of computerized security options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial gates does American Door install?
Vertical pivot gates, cantilever sliding gates, I-beam sliding gates, swing gates, sliding gates, and barrier gate arms, along with chain link and ornamental aluminum fencing and personnel gate doors.
What’s a good gate option when there isn’t room for a swing or slide gate?
Vertical pivot gates. Instead of needing double the ground-level opening room a swing or slide gate requires, pivot gates use air space, making them a good fit for uneven ground or tight spaces.
Can commercial gates be automated?
Yes. Cantilever, I-beam, and sliding gates can be fully automated with key card access or radio remote, and even operated from a guard tower. Standard safety systems include a photo eye that detects pedestrians and a reversing safety edge, and gates can be set to close automatically after a short period to prevent unauthorized entry.
What’s the difference between a cantilever sliding gate and an I-beam sliding gate?
Cantilever sliding gates secure a property while allowing easy access for authorized personnel, with full installation of fencing, power hookup, and safety systems. I-beam sliding gates are built for very large openings, with heavily reinforced critical areas, 4″ OD posts, and steel structural support beams for high-use closures.
Does American Door secure dumpster and vehicle access areas too?
Yes. Dumpster enclosures can surround just the perimeter or form a full cage, in a choice of color and privacy options. Barrier gate arms secure parking and access points and integrate with card readers, vehicle sensors, and radio receivers.
What safety features come standard on automated gates?
A photo eye that detects pedestrians and a reversing safety edge are standard, along with the option to set the gate to close automatically after a short period to prevent unauthorized entries.
When uneven ground or tight spaces interfere with the operation of a large gate, vertical pivot gates are a great solution. Instead of needing double the gate opening room on the ground that a swing gate or slide gate needs, pivot gates take up space not normally used: air space. You don’t have to sacrifice security and control of an area with limited space considerations.
