Heavy Duty Swing Gate Applications
Tight on space? No problem. TYMETAL’s Fortress Heavy Duty Swing Gate works in all areas, but it is particularly well-suited for locations without enough room to roll or slide a gate. Examples include alleys and areas where the access road is right along the perimeter. However, these aren’t the only scenarios that are appropriate for using a Heavy Duty Swing Gate.

What customization options are available for TYMETAL heavy-duty swing gates?
TYMETAL heavy-duty swing gates are available in a wide range of widths, heights, and infill styles including chain link, welded wire, and ornamental designs. Gates can be configured as single or bi-parting leaves and fitted with electronic lock hardware, anti-climb features, and provisions for access control integration to match site-specific security requirements.
Are TYMETAL swing gates compatible with electronic access control or anti-climb systems?
Yes. TYMETAL heavy-duty swing gates are engineered to accept electromechanical and hydraulic operators, electric strikes, magnetic locks, and a full range of access control devices. Anti-climb infill options and topped picket designs are available for applications requiring additional deterrence against unauthorized entry over the gate.
How do maintenance requirements differ for manual versus automated swing gates?
Manual swing gates require periodic hinge lubrication, latch adjustment, and structural inspection for corrosion or weld fatigue. Automated swing gates add operator motor inspection, limit switch testing, and monthly safety device checks required under UL 325. Hydraulic systems also require fluid level monitoring and seal inspection. Both configurations benefit from annual professional inspections to ensure long-term performance.
