The flood-proof security gate is an ideal flood barrier for people who suffer from back pain and are unable to lift heavy objects, or who have problems with their hand joints. Once the gate is in place, when an emergency alert is received, all you need to do is close it effortlessly using its special lever handle.
*Measurements in centimeters. Possible widths for the specified height
CAUTION: For greater widths, additional units can be added in a row, connecting them via a fixed post that can also be linked to other devices—including removable ones—or by choosing the GATE duo, which provides protection for wider areas.
Other features
I choose the GATE flood-proof gate because the designers have solved these issues for me:
The leaf can be removed and refitted when needed.
Hinges adjustable in height only.
Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 (Construction Products Regulation, or CPR).
We use a hinge whose fasteners remain protected and concealed by cover plates when the door is closed.
NOTE: In some countries, a flat profile of appropriate width and 5 mm thickness must be installed on the underside and on the side facing the area to be protected.
It is typically lightweight thanks to the special self-lubricating sliders and the unique frame design (2020 model)
The innovative locking system invented by RAPID on request is both simple and effective
Known flaws that were avoided as the original design took shape:
The non-removable leaf creates an obstruction in the access opening.
The gaskets attached to the door and the non-removable door cause wear and tear, even when the unit is not being used as a flood prevention device.
Hinges for outward opening must, by regulation, be tested.
It is not possible to detach the hinges from the frame or from the leaf when the leaf is closed.
With the lowest possible pressure, and suitable, where possible, for a user with motor impairments in the limbs.
With as little pressure as possible, and adapted to users with mobility issues in their limbs.
DISCLAIMER: WARNING! If the access is for SAFETY PURPOSES, a safety plan must be in place that authorizes the use of an alternative measure before installing the flood barrier; otherwise, the area to be protected from flooding must be completely clear of people or other objects that could be endangered inside it. Dripping falls within the seal’s tolerance, although this is not mandatory. When installing the barrier to protect hazardous areas, it is recommended to implement additional safety measures as well.
