Barron PDS Single Gates Specifications
Features and Benefits
These heavy-duty single folding gates are engineered for maximum strength and durability, constructed from 14-gauge galvanized steel webbing and 12-gauge angle iron frames to withstand demanding environments and frequent use.
The gate features a 180° pivoting design, allowing it to swing fully open and closed for unobstructed access when not in use. Installation is fast and efficient, taking less than 30 minutes with standard mounting hardware.
With flexible mounting options, the gate can be installed inside or outside door jambs, between walls, on pallet racks, or even on windows, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications.
Its maintenance-free galvanized steel finish resists rust and corrosion, making it ideal for all weather conditions and both indoor and outdoor use. For security, the gate includes a 12-gauge locking bar and welded hasp, compatible with padlocks or optional cylinder locks.
To ensure stability and smooth operation, the gate is equipped with solid steel casters and welded drop pins. Custom options such as powder-coated finishes and tailored sizes are available upon request to meet specific facility needs.
These gates are built for high performance and minimal upkeep, making them a reliable security solution for any facility.

Applications
Heavy duty folding gates are trusted across many industries for effective access control. Common uses include:
- Warehouses and Distribution Centers: Secure loading docks and receiving areas.
- Retail and Commercial Buildings: Protect service entrances and restrict access to back-of-house areas.
- Industrial Facilities: Control access to machinery zones or hazardous areas.
- Schools and Institutions: Secure hallways or restrict access during off-hours.
- Transportation Hubs: Protect maintenance bays and terminal access points.
- Multi-Use Buildings: Provide after-hours security for shared spaces.
These commercial security gates help protect key access points while allowing visibility and airflow. They are especially useful in areas that require flexible, retractable security gates for changing layouts or frequent use.
Selection Assistance
Selecting the right folding gate starts with measuring your opening. Single gates are designed to cover spaces up to 12 feet wide. For larger areas, consider using a pair of folding gates to ensure full coverage and secure access.
Next, determine the mounting location. Gates can be installed inside the door jamb for a flush fit, face-mounted for surface applications, or between posts, depending on your facility’s layout and structural needs.
Consider how often the gate will be used. If frequent access is required, features like the 180° pivoting design and caster support make operation smooth and efficient, reducing wear and improving usability.
Also, think about your environment. Galvanized steel is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use due to its rust-resistant properties. For added visibility or to match your branding, powder-coated options are available.
