Single Swing Security Gates


Swing gates have full-length lock and hinge posts to minimize any tampering or leveraging. The units utilize a high-security deadlock mechanism. The lock position is sandwiched on both sides by a 400mm long welded-on tab for further protection. Additionally, both the lock post and gate are reinforced at the lock position. Units are fitted with the opposing swing of existing doors. For example; if your door is inwards opening, the gate will open outwards and vice versa. Units can be fitted with parliament hinges, which allow them to fold back 180 degrees. This design enhances door gates security.

For wider openings, a combination of fixed panels with swing gates can be used. Therefore, these could include one fixed panel with one swing gate, two side fixed panels with a centre swing gate, a swing gate with a top fixed panel, etc. This variety showcases the different types of security gates available.

Internal Security Gates Cape Town

We recommend an internal security gate, using any of the configurations mentioned above, that can safely isolate the sleeping area of your home from the rest of the rooms, creating a safe zone. This provides an additional barrier in the event that any intruder overcomes other security measures, ensuring the safety of you and your family.

We aim to install our units to the interior of doorways, however, we do accommodate external gates where doorways open inwards or when securing outside openings or enclosures.


Premium Locking Mechanisms For Security Gates Cape Town

A good security gate is only as strong as its locking mechanism because this is the most frequently attacked point of a gate.

Shutterway has undertaken extensive design and re-enforcement of our gates, and while no barrier manufacturer can guarantee their gates to be impossible to break through, our recent design improvements will ensure it will not be an easy in and out, as is often the case with other gates.

All locks are high-quality components for a high-security application. All utilize a Euro-profile cylinder and can be keyed-alike for convenience where multiple gates are fitted on one premises.

We use full-length lock posts and hinge posts that are securely bolted to the brickwork. This applies to both sliding gate doors and folding security gates.

swing gate from Shutterway in Cape Town


Swing Gates dead lock

Our swing gates utilise a market leading deadlock that throws out a solid bolt (10 x 24 mm) with a throw of 24 mm on a double key throw.

Apart from the lock, the gate has been designed and re-enforced at the lock position to avoid leverage. Additional steel is welded inside the tubing sections of the lock posts for extra resistance to force. The lock position is sandwiched by a 400 mm long lock tab, covering the lock mechanism and ensuring that any leverage is only applicable a fair distance from the lock, decreasing the force of the leverage applied to the lock.

Additional stopping plates are welded on between the hinges to prevent gate flex between the hinges, giving very little room for the lock to move under the force of an attack.
