The Illinois Engineered Products SSG685-ANG is a heavy-duty retractable folding gate designed to secure openings while preserving visibility, airflow, and access. This single gate accommodates widths from 5' to 6' and rises to a practical 8' 6" when fully extended, then folds compactly to stay out of the way during non-secure periods. Its design prioritizes controlled access at loading docks, service doors, hallways, and entrances without hindering light or air circulation. The gate’s operation hinges on a retractable system that pivots on its mounts, allowing it to move completely clear of an opening when not in use, which minimizes obstruction and enhances workflow.
Constructed for durability, the gate features a sturdy 12-gauge steel vertical frame paired with 14-gauge steel lattice webbing. The galvanized finish delivers improved corrosion resistance and easier cleaning, supporting longer service life in environments with exposure to moisture or humidity. Each assembly ships unassembled but includes mounting brackets, a bearing washer, and a solid steel caster to simplify installation; lag bolts and padlock are not included. A key aspect of use is understanding that the gate loses 6 inches of height when extended, a behavior that can influence clearance calculations where headroom is a consideration.
This product is suited for securing receiving doors, lift-up doors, hallways, and entryways while still allowing light and air to pass through the opening. It ships as a single gate with a robust frame and webbing, and is available in a galvanized finish with the option for a custom powder coating—consult for details. Proper installation and a suitable padlock (not included) will help ensure the gate provides the intended level of access control and security for your facility.
