Double leaf Gates for Warehouse entrance

Secure Access for Industrial and Warehouse Entrances

Many Cape Town businesses rely on roller shutter doors for easy vehicle access and ventilation — but leaving them open for light or airflow can create a serious security risk. That’s where industrial access gates come in.

At Fence-In and Gates, we design and install custom gates that secure roller shutter entrances for factories, warehouses, transport depots, and logistics companies across the Western Cape.

When a Roller Shutter Isn’t Enough

While roller shutters are strong and practical, they’re not designed for continuous use during operating hours. When you need them open for loading, offloading, or service access, your entrance becomes exposed — making it easy for unauthorized visitors to enter.

Installing a galvanised and PVC-coated gate in front of the roller shutter creates a secure barrier while allowing air and light through. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to protect your site without sacrificing efficiency.

Our Gate Options for Roller Shutter Entrances

Fence-In and Gates offers a range of factory and warehouse gates built for heavy-duty use:

🔹 External Gates – Galvanised and PVC-coated for long-lasting corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor entrances.
🔹 Internal Gates – Treated steel options for interior use, perfect for dividing factory zones or securing internal loading areas.
🔹 Single or Double Gates – Choose between single pedestrian gates or larger double-leaf gates to accommodate forklifts, pallets, or vehicles.
🔹 Lockable and Secure – Every gate is fitted with drop bolts and slip bolts for reliable, lockable access control.

Each installation is custom-sized for your roller shutter width, ensuring perfect fit and functionality.

Ideal for Factories, Warehouses, and Logistics Hubs

Our industrial gate systems are widely used across:

Manufacturing plants and workshops
Warehousing and logistics facilities
Transport and distribution centres
Service yards and repair depots

These gates are designed to handle high-traffic environments while maintaining safety and control at every access point.

Add-on Security and Partitioning

For added protection and internal layout control, Fence-In and Gates also supplies Internal Wire Mesh Partitioning — ideal for separating storage areas, tools, or sensitive work zones inside your facility. Combining these systems creates a fully integrated industrial security solution.

Built for Cape Town Conditions

Every product we manufacture is built to handle Cape Town’s coastal weather. Our galvanised steel framework and PVC mesh infill provide long-lasting rust resistance, ensuring minimal maintenance and years of reliable use — whether installed indoors or outdoors.
