When you need to control access, protect people and assets, and meet regulatory standards, Pacific Fence & Wire delivers high-security gate systems built to perform.

For more than 100 years, we’ve helped secure the Pacific Northwest’s most sensitive and demanding properties. Our high-security pre-hung gates are ideal for schools, commercial facilities, utilities, correctional institutions, and industrial sites—anywhere safety, reliability, and controlled access are top priorities.

Whether you need a pre-fabricated security gate or a custom-fabricated swing gate, our team will make sure your project meets both functional and safety standards, all while withstanding heavy use and the Portland climate.

What Is a Pre-Hung Security Gate?

A pre-hung gate is delivered as a complete, ready-to-install unit. The gate frame, leaf, hinges, and latching hardware are pre-assembled into a single system, saving time on-site and ensuring perfect alignment. For high-security applications, pre-hung gates often include:

Reinforced steel or aluminum frames
Integrated panic bar systems for emergency egress
Access control compatibility (keypads, card readers, intercoms)
Commercial-grade locks and latch hardware
Pre-drilled mounts for automation or mag locks

These systems are often used where precision, speed, and dependability are non-negotiable.

Ideal Use Cases for High Security Pre-Hung Gates

Pre-hung gates are especially valuable when installation speed, durability, or controlled access is essential. We recommend them for:

School and campus perimeters: Secure yet easy-to-open for emergency exits

Utility sites and substations: Protect against unauthorized access

Warehouses and loading docks: Ensure controlled access for staff or deliveries

Correctional and government facilities: Meet institutional security standards

Commercial yards or garages: Prevent theft or trespassing

Standard and Custom Security Gate Options

At Pacific Fence & Wire, we offer both off-the-shelf solutions and custom-fabricated gates, depending on your property’s layout, usage, and security requirements. We can provide:

Steel or aluminum pre-hung swing gates (single or double leaf)
Custom width and height options
Integration with access control systems
Manual or automated operation
Powder-coated or galvanized finishes

Need a gate that matches an existing fence line or architectural design? We can fabricate it in-house or source from top-tier manufacturers and make the modifications needed to meet your goals.

Access Control and Safety Integration

High-security gates don’t just keep people out—they also need to allow the right people in. We help design and install gate systems that are compatible with:

Panic bars and crash bars for emergency exits
Badge readers or keypad locks
Intercoms, cameras, or magnetic locks
ADA-compliant hardware
Fire marshal-approved egress options

Whether you’re outfitting an entire perimeter or just one personnel gate, we’ll ensure your gate is aligned with safety codes, access control standards, and operational needs.

Swing Gates vs. Sliding Options

While pre-hung gates are typically swing gates, we also work with properties that need sliding or cantilever gate systems.

Swing Gates:

Easier to install on most sites
Ideal for pedestrian or standard vehicle access
Can include panic bars or access control

Sliding Gates:

Better for constrained spaces or heavy vehicle traffic
Typically require custom fabrication and added infrastructure

FAQs About High Security Pre-Hung Gates

What makes a gate “pre-hung”?
A pre-hung gate arrives as a complete, pre-assembled system—usually including the frame, gate leaf, hinges, and latch hardware—ready to install without piecing components together onsite.

Can I add access control to a pre-hung gate?
Yes. We can integrate access control systems, including keypads, card readers, intercoms, and more, whether during fabrication or after installation.

Do pre-hung gates support panic bars?
Absolutely. Many high-security gates include panic bar hardware to allow emergency egress while remaining secure from the outside.

Are these gates weatherproof?

Yes. Our gates are built with powder-coated or galvanized steel and rated for outdoor use in the Pacific Northwest’s four-season climate.

Do you fabricate custom swing gates?
Yes—we fabricate custom swing gates to match existing layouts, meet access needs, or integrate additional safety features.
