Retractable Security Gates & Doors

Benefits of Retractable Gates

Space Efficient: Retractable Gates are also known as Folding Security Gates, Rolling Security Gates, Expanding Security Gates or Expandable Security Grilles. These are compact and can fold away neatly when not in use and maximise space efficiency.
Smooth Installation: Best choice for residential and commercial properties from regular windows and doors to larger garage entrances.
Swift Deployment: The gates can be easily opened and closed, providing quick access without compromising security. This function can help you maintain the visual aesthetics of your properties when the gates are not in use.

Step 1: Measure the Installation Area

Measure the width and height of the doorway or area where you’ll be installing the gate. Ensure there is enough clearance on both sides for the gate to fully retract.
Mark the desired position on the wall where the top track of the gate will be installed.

Step 2: Position the Top Track

Hold the top track at the marked position, ensuring it is level using a spirit level.
Mark the screw holes on the wall where the track will be fastened.

Step 3: Drill the Holes

Using your drill, create holes at the marked points on the wall. If necessary, insert wall plugs to ensure a strong hold.

Step 4: Attach the Top Track

Secure the top track to the wall by screwing it into place. Ensure it is straight and properly aligned.

Step 5: Mount the Side Guides

Place the gate in the open position, aligning it with the top track. Attach the side guide channel to the wall, making sure the gate retracts and extends smoothly.
Mark the screw holes for the side guides and drill holes accordingly.
Secure the side guides with screws, making sure they are tightly fixed.

Step 6: Install the Bottom Track

If the gate includes a bottom track, position it along the floor where the gate will rest when closed.
Mark and drill the necessary holes in the floor, then secure the bottom track with screws.

Step 7: Test the Gate

Open and close the gate to ensure it retracts smoothly along the top and bottom tracks.
Make any necessary adjustments to the alignment to ensure proper operation.

Step 8: Locking Mechanism Installation

Install the locking mechanism as indicated in the gate’s manual. Attach the handle or lock on the gate at a convenient height.
Secure the lock plate on the wall or floor to match the lock position of the gate.
