Multifold security entrance gates are designed for securing larger car park entrances. They also provide ventilation to allow exhaust fumes to disperse.

Manufacture

  • Galvanised as standard

  • Standard leaf designs have a 60 x 40mm RHS perimeter frame with 25mm-diameter tubes or 25mm SHS uprights at 125mm centres. Higher gates have a mid-rail for strengthening

Gate leaves

The gate leaves are available in various designs but typically comprise a 60 x 40mm RHS perimeter frame with 25mm diameter tubes or 25mm SHS uprights at 125mm centres. Higher gates have a mid-rail for strengthening purposes.

Tracks

The gate leaves are hung on four-wheel trolley bearing hangers which incorporate the panel hinges and run in a galvanised top track. An auxiliary top track is attached to allow the leaves to fold correctly.

Brass rollers connected to the bottom hinges run in a steel channel bottom track which is set for alignment within a 200 x 75mm chase before final grouting into position.

Gate arrangements

The gates are normally face fixed to the inside of the opening but can be arranged to mount directly between jambs. They can be supplied as a single gate (bunching to one side) or bi-parting.

Operation

The gates are electrically operated as standard using a totally enclosed 3 phase motor gearbox mounted on the top track with open/close/stop push buttons adjacent to the opening at the slam side. Disconnection or emergency manual operation is provided at low level adjacent to the motor.
