The Illinois Engineered Products SSG565-ANG is a single retractable folding gate designed to secure openings such as loading docks, service doors, hallways, and entryways while preserving light, air circulation, and visible access. The unit features a heavy-duty 12-gauge steel vertical frame with a 14-gauge steel webbing lattice that provides rigid, vandal-resistant performance. Finished in galvanized coating to resist rust and simplify maintenance, the gate can be easily moved out of the way when access is needed, thanks to its retracting mounting and solid steel casters. When extended, the gate reduces its height by 6 inches, a characteristic that ensures a compact, predictable profile in constrained spaces. The assembly includes mounting brackets, bearing washer, and solid steel caster for straightforward installation; lag bolts and padlock are not included, allowing you to select hardware that fits your site requirements.
This configuration is a single gate that fits openings ranging from 4 feet to 5 feet wide, with a collapsed height of 6 feet 6 inches and an expanded height of 6 feet. The combination of a sturdy frame and riveted heavy-duty webbing supports secure, visible access control for personnel and equipment, while maintaining airflow through the opening. The galvanized finish enhances durability and simplifies cleaning in demanding environments, and optional custom powder coatings are available by consultation to match facility aesthetics or corrosion protection needs. For sites requiring quick, configurable access with a clear line of sight, this gate provides a practical balance between security and openness.
Practical considerations include noting that the unit ships unassembled and requires mounting hardware (not included) and that the gate’s height changes by 6 inches when extended. With its durable construction and straightforward installation, it is well-suited for securing receiving doors, lift-up doors, hallways, and entryways where controlling access is important without compromising airflow or visibility.
