Overview
Barron Equipment’s heavy-duty folding security gates are made to secure large openings, and they can cover up to 24 feet wide, but these gates do not block airflow or visibility. These commercial security gates are ideal for dock doors, service entrances, hallways, and other high-traffic areas as an easy security solution. Made from strong galvanized steel and aircraft-grade rivets, they provide reliable security for warehouses, retail stores, and industrial sites.
Each heavy-duty folding gate swings 180 degrees, so it can move completely out of the way when not in use. The compact design makes it easy to control access while keeping space clear for people and equipment.

Features and Benefits
To keep areas secure, the folding gate system is built tough with 14-gauge galvanized steel mesh and 12-gauge angle iron frames. This robust design ensures long-lasting performance even in demanding environments.
The gate covers openings up to 24 feet, with custom sizes available for specific needs. Its 180° pivoting design allows the gates to swing fully open, making access easy and efficient.
Installation is quick and straightforward, taking less than 30 minutes with all mounting hardware included. For security, the gate includes a 3/16" steel hasp compatible with padlocks, and optional cylinder locks are available for enhanced protection.
Solid steel casters are welded directly to the frame, providing smooth movement and additional support in real time. For extra stability, 5/8" drop pins lock into floor holes to keep the gate secure when in use.
The gate is maintenance-free, thanks to its galvanized finish that resists rust and corrosion in all weather conditions. For those seeking a tailored look or fit, custom options such as powder-coated finishes and specific dimensions are available upon request with great customer service.

Applications
Heavy duty folding gates are used across many industries to improve safety and control access. Common applications include:
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Retail and commercial buildings
- Industrial facilities
- Schools and campuses
- Transportation terminals
- Multi-use buildings
These accordion gates help protect wide openings while allowing airflow and visibility no matter the time of day. They are especially useful in areas that require flexible, retractable security gates for changing layouts or frequent foot traffic.
Selection Assistance
To ensure you select the most suitable security gate, start by measuring the opening. Folding gates are ideal for spaces wider than 12 feet, offering reliable coverage and ease of use.
Next, choose the appropriate mounting style. Security gates can be installed inside or outside door jambs, between walls, or even on pallet racks, depending on your facility’s layout and structural needs showing that they are very space efficient.
Consider how frequently the access control system will be used. If your space requires regular access, features like a pivoting design and caster support ensure smooth and efficient operation, minimizing wear and tear over time.
Also, think about your environment. Galvanized steel gates are well-suited for both indoor and outdoor use, while powder-coated options can enhance visibility or align with your company’s branding.
