Doors and Gates

Doors and Gates adapt to every imaginable situation and budget.

Tube Frame Doors-For the best performance a steel tube door frame is fitted to a steel tube door jamb. The panel, built with 1.5 x 1.5 x 12 gage shop-formed angle, simply attaches to the door frame with M6 screws.   Heavy duty steel hinges are 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 x .150 thick welded to jamb and frame and have removable pins.These doors will fit tight and keep alignment even under heavy use. 

Angle Frame Doors-For light duty and/or economy a panel can simply be hung from the tube door frame. 

Standard Doors and Gates

Several types of doors are used in the both the Post & Panel and Frame & Panel systems:

1. Swing Door-Hinged left or right handed, inswing or outswing, single or double wide. 
2. Swing Gate-When the fence is too low for a header (under 84" height) or when or a header would interfere with access (loading with a forklift, for example) the header is omitted and the door is refered to as a gate.
   
3. Sliding Door-Welded steel tube frame with a roller track and double rollers with hanger bolts. These can be single or double wide; they can slide left or right or by-pass.
   
4. Sliding Gate-Heavy duty slides carry the load and telescope out as much as 60 inches. A double-wide sliding gate can thus accomodate a 10 foot opening.
5. Bi-Fold Gate-When space is tight sometimes nothing will do but a bifold door. Wheel assembly helps carry the load and drop rods secure the gate in open and colosed positions.
6. Overhead Lift Door-Counterweighted panels rise vertically where there is no room for a swing or sliding door.

The handles, latches, locks or interlocks are quoted separately from the door or gate assemblies.

Handles, Latches, Locks, and Interlocks

The details of handles, locks and latches for doors and gates are often dictated by the use of the system.

The following descriptions and images are some of the most common standard solutions. We can accomodate customer preferences and needs for interlock mounting plates and custom hardware.
