Scissor gates for controlled parking access
Scissor gates for parkings are designed for situations where a simple and robust access barrier is required without installing a full roller shutter system. The folding steel construction creates a physical separation while maintaining visibility and airflow through the opening
This makes scissor gates a practical solution for parking areas where controlled access is needed during closing hours, without permanently closing off the space. At Security Shutters, each scissor gate is manufactured to measure, based on the structural opening, required security level and usage frequency.
Scissor gates are typically selected for parking environments where flexibility, visibility and mechanical simplicity are key.

Advantages
From the operator’s perspective, scissor gates provide controlled closure with a straightforward mechanical system.
- Open structure allowing visibility and airflow
- Clear physical barrier against unauthorized access
- Space-saving folding system
- Suitable for wide or irregular openings
- Low structural impact compared to roller shutters
- Robust galvanised steel construction
- Custom-made dimensions adapted to the parking layout
Scissor gates are chosen when a parking area requires a secure but visually open separation.
For what situations
Scissor gates are used in professional parking environments where partial closure and flexibility are required.
Typical applications include:
- Residential parking areas
- Private underground garages
- Secured parking zones within mixed-use buildings
- Parking sections inside larger facilities
- Access points where a full roller shutter is not structurally required
They are suitable for both new construction projects and renovation of existing parking facilities where a mechanical barrier must be added.
Technical information
Our scissor gates for parkings are engineered as folding steel gate systems designed for repeated manual or assisted operation. The structure consists of vertical steel bars connected by diagonal cross links, forming an expandable and collapsible grid.
Material thickness, bar dimensions and connection points are defined per project, depending on opening width and required rigidity. For larger spans, reinforced profiles and additional locking points can be integrated to ensure structural stability.
The gate is mounted on a top guide track with floor guidance where required, ensuring smooth lateral movement during opening and closing. Locking systems can be configured with mechanical locks or prepared for integration with electronic access control.
All steel components are galvanised and can be powder coated in any RAL colour. Scissor gates are manufactured in accordance with applicable European standards and supplied with CE marking where applicable. Final resistance characteristics depend on the specific project configuration.
