Global Industrial 968116 Double Folding Security Gate

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 968116 is a double folding security gate designed to protect openings up to 16 feet wide and 6.5 feet tall. Built from 14-gauge channel steel with a 0.75-inch profile, this gate delivers the structural rigidity required for securing warehouse entries, loading dock doors, retail storefronts, and commercial facility access points. A durable gray powder coat finish is applied using a non-interference process that preserves coating integrity at all fold points for extended service life. Zinc-plated rivets reduce corrosion risk at fastener locations. The gate ships as a complete unit and weighs 142.55 pounds.

This gate is suited for both new installations and retrofit applications in commercial and industrial environments. It is commonly installed at warehouse access openings, storage room entries, and dock doors where a heavy-duty folding barrier is required. The double-panel design includes a cane bolt that holds the left half in a fixed position, or both halves can be opened simultaneously for full unobstructed access. The gate accommodates either recess or surface mounting, providing flexibility across different wall and frame conditions. Hardware for mounting is not included.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation folding security gate for commercial and industrial door openings requiring a double-panel folding barrier up to 16 feet wide and 6.5 feet tall.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor or facilities maintenance technician familiar with commercial door hardware. The gate supports both recess and surface mounting - confirm opening dimensions and frame depth before ordering, as mounting hardware is not included with the unit. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally capable of supporting a distributed load consistent with the gate weight of 142.55 pounds. Verify local building and fire codes for egress requirements before installing any security gate across a path of travel.
