The Illinois Engineered Products PECO1665 Double Economy Folding Gate is designed to secure openings such as loading docks, doors, hallways, and entryways while preserving visibility and airflow. Its economical, lightweight construction aims to deter intruders with an open grid design and sturdy hardware, including steel drop pins on both sides and a padlockable hasp for controlled access. The gate folds back to a tight stack beside the opening and swings open 180 degrees, enabling quick ingress and egress without blocking the space when not in use. The design prioritizes visibility and air circulation, which can be beneficial in busy facilities where airflow and monitoring of the protected area are important.
Construction and features focus on a balance between security and weight. The gate uses 15 gauge recycled steel lattice riveted with aircraft-grade aluminum rivets, paired with a frame built from recycled and galvanized angle iron. This combination results in a galvanized finish intended to resist corrosion, while the use of recycled materials contributes to material efficiency and reduced waste. The assembly ships unassembled for transport and on-site fitting, with mounting brackets included to facilitate installation. The product measures 14' to 16' in width when extended, with a 6' 6" height and a 10" depth when stacked, and weighs approximately 105 lbs per unit.
Ideal uses include securing openings where access control and visibility are important without creating significant airflow restriction. Given its double-fold design and 180-degree swing, it is suitable for areas where space to swing is available on both sides of the opening. As with any padlock-enabled gate, relevance depends on the specific site security needs and the compatibility with existing mounting points and doorways. The product is sold as a non-returnable item, ships unassembled, and carries a one-year manufacturer warranty.
