Airport Boarding Gates | Airport boarding gates are a highly secure, more complex gate type designed to comply with anti-terrorism regulations around the world. Many of these ruggedized systems support automated credential authentication, boarding pass scanning, remote monitoring, and forced entry / exit detection. | ||
Architectural Gates | Architectural gates combine functional capabilities such as access control with decorative features like wrought iron fixtures. Ornamental gates are included this gate type. | ||
Boom Gates / Barriers | Boom gates or boom barriers feature a pivoting bar or pole that blocks a vehicle’s access through a control point. | ||
Cantilever Gates | Cantilever gates use a single panel of fixed or adjustable width, work above the ground, and are supported at one or more fixed post locations. The counter-balancing and load-bearing properties of cantilever design allow for useful overhanging and telescoping panel behavior. Panels for most cantilever gates move in a strait-line, parallel to the ground, between the load bearing post and the non-load bearing closing surface / latch-post location. | ||
Double-Swing Gates | Double-swing gates use two pivot locations and panels to control access to a restricted area. | ||
Driveway Gates | Driveway gates are a type of entry gate that sometimes use a double-swing design, which controls access to residential property while providing privacy. | ||
Loading Dock Gates | Loading dock gates are used in recessed bays for buildings or facilities where trucks are loaded and unloaded. This gate type includes folding gates used at receiving doors. | ||
Mezzanine Gates | Mezzanine gates reduce the chance of falls and other accidents associated with an intermediate floor between main floors of a building. This gate type includes "corral" or "clear-aisle" gates, which are often integrated with the mezzanine's edge to prevent workers from falling. | ||
Pedestrian / Personnel Barriers | Pedestrian or personnel barriers are simple, rugged, blocking mechanisms suited for lane control uses involving dense movements of people. Rock concerts, sporting events, subway systems, and densely staffed factories are all typical applications for this high-speed, high-throughput technology. | ||
Roller Gates | Roller gates have ground-level, weight-bearing wheels to facilitate opening, closing, and other gate movement. | ||
Single-Swing Gates | Single-swing gates use a single panel that rotates about a fixed pivot and moves parallel to the ground. Motorized swing barriers used for wheelchair access are included in this gate type. | ||
Sliding Gates | Most sliding gates include a ground-level track or groove to constrain and facilitate movement of the gate during opening and closing. However, this type also includes "cantilever sliding gates," which work above the ground using elevated tracking and may include a trolley. Cantilever sliding gates remove the need for installing ground-level tracking run across the road or pathway beneath them. | ||
Staircase Gates | Staircase gates are a type of industrial safety gate used to protect workers at dangerous heights. | ||
Top-Hung Gates | Top hung gates employ a track, groove, or bumpers at the top of the gate to fix or bear the weight of the gate, or to guide the gate along a prescribed path of movement. Security shutters are included in this gate type. | ||
Turnstiles | Turnstiles employ a single-direction, flow control turning-mechanism to provide one-at-a-time personnel / pedestrian access to secure areas. They sometimes include coin handling, card reading, and people-counting functions. They range from full-height systems to simple, waist-high tripod designs. | ||
Other | Any other type of industrial safety gate or entry gate not described by other options. | ||

Material | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Aluminum | Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility, and strength. | ||
Carbon Steel | Plain carbon steels are ferrous alloys based on iron, carbon, and small levels of other alloying elements such as manganese or aluminum. Carbon steels include soft, non-hardenable, low carbon or mild steels such as 1020; as well as hardenable high carbon steels such as 1095. Steel alloys are used in a wide variety of applications in almost every industrial segment. Mild steels and low carbon steels can be fabricated easily by machining, forming, casting, and welding. | ||
Cast Irons | Cast irons are a large group of ferrous alloys that solidify with a eutectic. They contain high amounts of iron, significant amounts of silicon (about 1-3%), and are considered to be ternary alloys (Fe-C-Si). | ||
Composite | Composites and composite materials usually consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous, or continuous second phase. There are three basic types of composites and composite materials: polymer matrix composites (PMC), ceramic matrix composites (CMC), and metal matrix composites (MMC). | ||
Glass | The gate is mostly designed and constructed using glass. Glass materials have a random, liquid-like (non-crystalline) molecular structure. They are heated to a temperature sufficient for producing a completely fused melt. Raw material for glass includes cullet (crushed, recycled glass), sand, soda ash, limestone, and additives. Glass materials are used in the production of crystallized glass panels and glass mosaic tiles. | ||
Stainless Steel | Stainless steel alloys are austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation hardened, and duplex metals that are available in a wide variety of grades, shapes, and sizes. | ||
Thermoplastic | Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling. Most thermoplastics consist of polymers, long chains of molecules that contain smaller, repeating units called monomers. | ||
Wood | The gate is designed and constructed using wood. Wood and wood products are materials derived from trees and include timber, lumber, veneer, wood pulp, wood flour, pellets, and chips. | ||
Other / Specialty | The material is other / specialty. | ||

Your choices are... | |||
Access Controls / Automated | Gate systems with access control or automated features allow for automatic or semi-automatic entry to a controlled area. Automated gates are access control systems that incorporate electric or electronic gate openers. | ||
Adjustable Width / Folding | Gate systems that include an adjustable door width feature can accommodate variable entry widths to secure areas, and support variable panel width. Telescoping and collapsible / retractable / folding gates are included in this feature type. | ||
Alarm / Safety-Interlock | Gates with alarm / safety interlock features include an alerting function allowing for communication to security / supervisory staff or to a safety interlock, annunciator, or alarm system. | ||
Audio / Video Communication | Gate systems that include an audio / video communication features support one or two way voice or closed-circuit television, and may also include a recording option. | ||
Foot-Actuated Entry | Foot-actuated entry is a quick-entry feature of some safety gates that allow users to quickly and easily enter a secure area — often while holding something in their hands / arms — by using a foot to actuate the door latching mechanism. After actuation, the user pushes the entry door open by pressing a padded part of the door with their knee. | ||
Galvanized | Galvanization is the process of coating steel or iron in layers of zinc oxide. | ||
One-Way | One-way gates control movement into and out of secure areas by restricting movement to one direction at an entry or exit point. | ||
Powder Coated | Powder coating is when a powder of thermoplastic or thermoset polymer is applied to a part. Heat is applied which allows the resin to flow and then cure. | ||
Self-Closing | Gates automatically close after personnel have passed through. | ||
