Portable Accordion Folding Scissor Gates
Scissor gates are metal gates that expand and contract like accordions. They are used to block access to restricted areas while still allowing light and air to pass through the barrier.
One of the most convenient, easy to install type of accordion gate is the portable folding security gate.
The advantages that portable accordion gates offer over doors and solid walls are visibility and ventilation.
In many storage areas, materials are stored that require cool temperatures to retain their integrity. Some of these materials even become volatile in high temperatures, so ventilation is an absolute must for safety.
Many institutions also monitor their facilities with surveillance cameras. Some have guards that walk the grounds at night. Portable folding security gates allow both cameras and guards to see into restricted areas. Doors and solid barriers do not allow for this.
For this reason, accordion folding gates are recommended over solid gates and doors for any area that has multiple entrances. This prevents a line of sight from being blocked that would allow an intruder sufficient cover to use an alternate entrance to gain access.
With folding portable scissor gates, all access points, along with the restricted interior, are clearly visible to security personnel and equipment.
Portable folding security gates can be rapidly wheeled into positioned, expanded between two walls, and locked. Floor anchors are not required, but they can be purchased as add-ons. They provide additional stability to the base of the unit and are recommended for certain retail and industrial environments.
Each scissor gate comes with a standard padlock hasp that accommodates any padlock. Cylinder locks can also be ordered for additional security.
Folding portable security gates are very popular due to their mobility and maneuverability. Their simple, patented air pressure locking system also allows two individual modules to be joined into a single, larger gate to protect extra wide access points.
Portable scissor gates are made from galvanized sheet steel and feature zinc/iron phosphate plating for corrosion resistance. Impact resistance results from a powder coat finish that is electrostatically applied.
Portable folding security gates are used in schools. They are GREENGUARD Children and Schools Certified (SM). Schools use them to block off hallways after hours and to protect equipment in gyms and band halls.
Retailers use folding accordion scissor gates to section off areas of inventory not yet ready for stocking. They also restrict access to areas being cleaned and areas under reconstruction. This is very important for customer safety and works to greatly minimize liability for any public establishment.
Health care institutions also block unauthorized access to labs using mobile accordion gates.
In the industrial world, portable folding security gates are used to restrict access to sensitive materials, heavy equipment, and work spaces intended only for authorized personnel to access.
