They are also used as security units for driveways, storefronts, loading platforms, and warehouse doors. They allow ventilation without the loss of security. Scissor Gates are often used to secure a glass storefronts after the close of business or in the back warehouse where you need security when your roll-up door is open. Vortex can help repair, replace, or install any size gate you need.

Great service guys are really professional and the job was done great .
Trevor A.
Our business has a loading dock with a roll up bay door. The bay door was bent off the tracks, and we found it couldn't be closed or moved up or down. Our initial call had a response time of about 30 minutes. They showed up, diagnosed the issue, and provided a fix time of 4-6 weeks. Of course we weren't delighted, but we wanted to move forward. They understood that having a bay door that didn't close was a major issue for us and they immediately began to troubleshoot, finding a solution for us. Early that next morning we had Daniel show up and said he can get us operational (door being able to open, close, and secured) within 3 hours. They finished in 2. Daniel, Phillip, and Conner made the the security of our building at Pacific Office Automation a priority for us again, and it was all done in less than 24 hours. I have nothing but good things to say about this experience. Response time was A+, problem solving was A+, and we will be using them in the future for any and all of our needs. I guess we can close the door on this one.
