“For the first time, a high security gate can now fully match its perimeter fence in materials ranging from wood, steel, mesh, glass, fence pickets or railings,” attests David Dickinson, senior vice president of Delta Scientific. “While the front buttresses on a typical security gate increase the foundation size, affecting the appearance of the gate and limiting the thickness of the front face materials, the unique design of the DSC288 gate guides it from the rear side, leaving out the front buttresses. In other words, it’s the crash beam behind the gate that stops the vehicle, not the face of the gate.”

With no buttresses, architects and security engineers now have wide flexibilities on face treatment or in fill of the gate. For instance, anti-climb, clear or opaque ballistic in fill are available. In addition, the gate can be supplied as an open frame for field fitting or supplied completely assembled.

For easy operation, the DSC 288 features plug and play touch screen control panels with intelligent monitoring and programmable logic control. A positive latch pin latch secures the gate in the fully closed position and protects against crowds forcing the gate open for anti-mob control.
