Global Industrial 968100 Double Folding Security Gate

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 968100 is a double folding security gate designed to control access to doorways, service bays, stockrooms, and storage areas. Built from 14-gauge channel steel with a 0.75-inch profile, this gate delivers solid resistance to forced entry while remaining operable on smooth-rolling wheels. A durable gray powder coat finish over the steel frame provides long-term corrosion resistance, and zinc-plated rivets further protect against rust at the fastening points. The gate weighs 161 pounds and spans 8 feet wide by 6.5 feet tall, making it suitable for standard commercial doorway and bay openings. Licensed contractors and facility maintenance professionals handle typical installations.

This folding security gate is intended for commercial and industrial applications where controlled access is required without a permanent barrier. It functions as a collapsible partition across doorways, warehouse entrances, loading dock entries, and service counter openings. The double-gate configuration means both halves can be folded open for full-width access, or the left half can be held in a fixed position using the included cane bolt for single-panel operation. The gate can be installed in either a recess-mount or surface-mount configuration, providing flexibility across different structural setups. Mounting hardware is not included.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed contractor or experienced facilities maintenance technician. Shut off any electrically operated door hardware or access control systems serving the opening before beginning work. The gate supports both recess-mount and surface-mount configurations - verify structural anchor points are capable of supporting the 161-pound gate load before fastening. Mounting hardware is not included and must be sourced separately based on the wall or frame substrate.
