Heavy-Duty Swing Gates

Swing gates secure your business without impeding the flow of traffic.

Their robust, fully welded framework prevents unauthorized vehicles from driving onto your property. Steel and wrought iron construction allows you to exert tight control over your perimeter.

Capable of withstanding heavy impacts from both cars and trucks, swinging security gates are a simple and effective solution for managing automobiles and restricting access to sensitive areas, such as:

  • Warehouses
  • Shipping Centers
  • Convention Centers
  • Manufacturing Facilities
  • Hospitals
  • Airports
  • Theme Parks
  • Shopping Malls
  • Government Buildings
  • Military Bases

Integrated Security

A single gate can cover openings up to 35 feet wide, while a double swing gate can cover openings up to 70 feet. Rather than employ a swing gate operator, Vortex technicians connect your gate to your existing access control system, enabling you to screen visitors and verify the credentials of every person entering your property or facility. Once their identity has been confirmed, automated hydraulics provide fast and convenient entry. Powder coating and fully sealed, industrial-grade hinges allow swing gates to operate with little maintenance in even the most demanding environments.

Repairs and Service

Commercial and industrial swing gates help control your perimeter. Our technicians are able to provide cost saving repairs without replacement in many cases. We can fabricate obsolete parts and develop preventive solutions to keep regular maintenance repairs to a minimum. Preventative maintenance ensures reliable performance. Our service team provides dedicated, year-round support for issues that can degrade your security, including:

  • Loose or Corroded Hinges: Regular tightening and lubrication is necessary for smooth operation. Worn hinges should be replaced before they deteriorate further and impede gate action.
  • Gate Post Problems: Shifted or unstable gate posts throw off the gate alignment. Repositioning, reinforcing, or stabilizing the posts normally fixes the problem, but if their structural integrity has been compromised, our technicians can replace them.
  • Gate Operator and Motor Issues: Worn parts, poor electrical connections, and misaligned components prevent motorized gates from swinging open when activated. Recalibrating the motor ensures automatic gates continue to function. In cases of severe motor failure, our technicians can secure and install an effective replacement.
  • Sensor and Safety System Problems: Impacts and bad weather deteriorate sensors, preventing them from detecting traffic as it passes through the gate. Replacements need to be installed quickly to ensure the safety of vehicles entering your property. Vortex upgrades outdated or irreparable systems, to bring your gates up to current safety standards.

Vortex service teams identify potential problems before they lead to major troubles. Repairs, upgrades, and replacements ensure your gate provides the best possible protection for years after installation. Contact us today for help securing your business.

Ralph fixed 2 of my doors today at 2 different locations. He was friendly, easy to talk to and explained things clearly. I will definitely be calling Vortex again in the future when my doors aren't doing their jobs.

Wyatt and Johnny came out to replace a door at our storage facility. They did an amazing job. They communicated very well, they were very friendly. They were here on time and worked hard the entire time. they took down the old door and installed the new one in just a couple of hours. I would recommend them to everyone! Great job!

We have a small print shop storefront close to the AT&T Center (where the SA Spurs play) and needed a retail front door. We shopped around and called a number of door companies with minimal, or should I say, less than enthusiastic efforts to gain our trust and business. Our stores structure was built in the 1950's so there were many company representatives who came to check it out and never got back to us or there quote was out of this world because of the possibility of many unforeseen issues, to say the least. Once we called VORTEX I could tell we finally had the ball rolling in the right direction. There were a number of folks involved from the beginning; the local Mgr. Randy McFarland, Scott McGauvren, to the installers including Cotton and Josh as well as a few others who's names I've forgotten. Most importantly it was a great overall effort by everyone involved ! Although not everything went as planned due to the age of the building and the unexpected obstacles, everything went as smoothly as anyone could expect. Even though they had to return after the initial installation, it was all handled in an organized and professional manner. Thanks to Mr. McFarland and his San Antonio, VORTEX group we have an awesome retail storefront door. JS
