Overview
About the Commercial Single Swing Barrier Gate
A commercial single swing barrier gate is a single-panel gate — one continuous frame spanning the full opening — designed for commercial access control applications. Single panel configurations are preferred for entry lanes up to 14 feet wide, secondary access points, and commercial properties where one-way traffic flow is designed into the site layout. The single panel is structurally stiffer than a two-panel system at equivalent widths.
Commercial single swing gates are commonly used as the exit gate in controlled-access parking facilities (entry is a boom barrier, exit is a swing gate), as loading dock gates, as secondary personnel access points in fenced industrial yards, and for controlled contractor access at commercial construction sites. All commercial single swing gates are available with the same access control integration options as double swing systems.
Specifications & Construction
Frame: 3-inch x 3-inch structural steel square tube or 4-inch round pipe, 11-gauge wall. Infill: chain-link, steel panel, or iron picket. Gate width: 8-16 feet. Operator: LiftMaster LA412-50, FAAC 400 CBAC, or ELITE single-arm commercial operators. Hinge post: 5-inch OD heavy-wall pipe, concrete footing. Safety equipment: leading-edge sensor, photocell safety reversal, entrapment protection per UL 325.
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.
Key Features
Wider Single Spans
Single-panel swing gates can span up to 14-16 feet as a single leaf — wider than most residential operators can handle. Commercial operators provide the torque needed for full-width single panels.
One-Way Traffic Control
Single swing gates paired with a boom barrier entry create a directional access control system — automatic boom entry, swing gate exit — the standard configuration for secure commercial parking.
Faster Cycle Time
Single-panel gates cycle faster than double-swing — one motor, one panel, one path. Reduces entry/exit wait time at high-traffic commercial access points during peak hours.
UL 325 Compliant
All automated commercial gates are installed to UL 325 safety standards — the mandatory safety code for commercial gate systems in the United States. Includes safety loops, photocells, and emergency release.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a single swing commercial gate be mounted on a slope?
Yes — commercial single swing gates can be adjusted for sloped driveways using adjustable hinge assemblies and custom sweep profiles. The gate arc must clear the ground along the full travel path — we survey slopes during the site evaluation.
What is the maximum width for a single-panel commercial swing gate?
Commercial single-panel swing gates can typically span up to 16 feet as a single leaf with appropriate frame reinforcement. Beyond 16 feet, a double-panel or sliding configuration is recommended for structural and operator longevity.
What does a commercial single swing barrier gate cost in Houston?
Commercial single swing barrier gates in Houston typically range from $2,500 to $8,000 installed (gate only), depending on width and material. Automation adds $1,800-$4,500.
