Global Industrial 968142 Single Folding Security Gate

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 968142 is a single-panel folding security gate built for commercial and industrial access control applications. Constructed from 14-gauge channel steel with 0.75-inch profiles, this gate delivers heavy-duty protection at doorways, storefronts, and interior openings. The gate opens a full 180 degrees and folds flat when not in use, providing an unobstructed clear opening. A durable gray powder coat finish is protected by a non-interference design that keeps rivets from scratching the coating during operation. Zinc-plated rivets resist corrosion for extended service life. Smooth-rolling wheels allow easy manual operation. A padlock lug is included for securing the gate; a padlock is sold separately.

This gate is suited for retail storefronts, warehouses, schools, and industrial facilities where a retracting physical barrier is needed to restrict access. It works in both recess-mount and surface-mount configurations, giving installers flexibility in new construction and retrofit applications. At 6.5 feet wide and 8 feet tall, it covers standard single-door and wider passageway openings. Installation hardware is not included and must be sourced separately based on the wall or frame substrate.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified contractor familiar with commercial door and gate hardware. Mounting hardware is not included; fastener selection depends on the wall substrate, whether masonry, steel, or wood framing. Confirm the rough opening dimensions match the gate specifications before mounting. Follow applicable local building codes for egress and access control requirements when installing security gates in occupied commercial spaces.
