Overview
About the Commercial Double Swing Barrier Gate
A commercial double swing barrier gate is a two-panel swing gate system engineered specifically for commercial properties with high traffic and continuous daily use. Unlike residential swing gates, commercial barrier gates use heavier structural steel tubing, reinforced hinge posts, and commercial-grade gate operators rated for 40-100+ daily cycles. They are the primary access control solution for parking facilities, distribution centers, manufacturing yards, and multi-tenant commercial properties across Houston.
Commercial double swing barrier gates are fully customizable in width, height, and material — chain-link infill for visibility, solid steel panel for privacy and security, or iron picket for an upscale commercial appearance. Gate widths from 12 feet to 30 feet are standard for commercial applications. All systems include integrated safety loops, photocell sensors, and emergency manual release per UL 325 requirements.
Specifications & Construction
Frame: 4-inch x 4-inch structural steel square tubing (11-gauge wall), welded construction. Infill options: chain-link, solid steel panel, or iron picket. Gate operator: FAAC 884, LiftMaster CSL24, or ELITE EL-CL2 commercial swing operators. Hinge posts: 6-inch OD heavy-wall pipe in 48-inch concrete footings. Access control: vehicle loop, keypad, card reader, or telephone entry system.
All commercial gates are engineered for high-cycle commercial applications with heavy-duty hinges, rollers, or bearings rated for 40-200 daily cycles. Structural steel or heavy-wall pipe frames are welded, not bolted, for maximum joint integrity. Gates comply with UL 325 safety standards when automated. Access control integration (keypad, card reader, intercom, vehicle loop detector) available on all commercial gate systems.
