Gates, traffic control, and big stuff….
Hello, and thank you for visiting the Doorsmithian WordPress Blog.There are so many areas to cover, when it comes to the facility perspective of DOORS, GATES, and DOCK LEVELERS. It get even more involved with ENTRANCE DOORS, LOCK HARDWARE, and ACCESS CONTROL.With available moments, and hopefully, with inspiration, I hope to eventually touch on everything. And then, get more in depth, with you, the reader, and potential customer. The content we can archive will, in my estimates, become a useful database that will serve for knowledgeable decisions.I speak from practical knowledge, and use generalities to help provide understanding. I am not trying to serve as a vessel for self repair, as a licensed professional should always be used, even if you can do the work.GATES GATES provide a useful method of access, to a site, while maintaining PERIMETER SECURITY. I will say, that none, of they gates mentioned below, are intended for pedestrian access. These gates are intended for VEHICULAR ACCESS.You can see configurations, for UNDERGROUND PARKING STRUCTURES, that use the HALF CANOPY principle, only using steel tubing. Additional NYLON ROLLERS, contained inside SAFETY TRACK, help stabilize door travel, and improve security against pry in.HORIZONTAL SLIDING GATES can take the form of a FENCED BARRIER, using PIPE ROLLERS attached to a horizontal pipe, for upper gate support. A base track, along the span of the opening, plus a pocket width of the opened gate, usually takes form of 1 1/2″ steel angle. It should be installed as an integral part of the asphalt, or concrete.HORIZONTAL SLIDING GATES can also take the form of engineered STEEL TUBING, using V - GROOVE ROLLERS to travel along the 1 1/2″ steel angle base track. Upper support can also use V - GROOVE ROLLERS, that could use a track consisting of SQUARE STEEL TUBING. This form of gate, can also use PIPE ROLLERS, with PIPE TRACK.Larger barrier gates, using the method of sliding horizontally, can take form with steel members, steel sheeting, and rolling systems, that can even incorporate train rail. These larger ones serve purposes for AIRCRAFT HANGARS, and LARGE APPARATUS buildings.SALLY PORT CONFIGURATIONS are used for high security. And utilize a “man trap” area, between a series of controlled gates, to contain unwanted entry.SWINGING GATES are also useful for controlling VEHICLE TRAFFIC. They can use BARREL PIVOTS, or other architectural fancies, to support pivot.GATE OPERATORS can respond to ACCESS CONTROL, that can take the form of REMOTE OPERATION, CARD READERS, VEHICLE LOOP DETECTORS, KEY STATIONS, and can also utilize MAIN CONTROL COMMUNICATION.Other VEHICLE BARRIERS are available. That can take the form of TIGER TEETH, systems can be engineered using PLATFORM BARRIERS, that could even stop a bus.
