Since 1951, Criterion Products has been manufacturing folding gates, tarps, and related products in Los Angeles, California. Criterion has become a name synonymous with quality, service and experience. We offer 3 series of folding gates to meet the needs and budgets of each building owner or tenant. Whether to satisfy the demanding requirements of heavy industrial settings or the economy desired by the most cost conscious buyer, Criterion has a gate suitable for most any application. Chain gates, primarily used as closures on truck trailers, are another Criterion product. Decades of product design and manufacturing experience enable us to provide custom products to comply with special design and unique installation requirements.

DC Series Gates are designed for maximum durability and security. Double steel channels are riveted together to form each vertical member and connected with double rows of steel lattice bars traveling on nylon bearings and washers to operate with a minimum of effort. Leading and trailing edges are steel box shaped sections. DC series gates can be manufactured to almost any size.

EG Series Gates are value engineered to offer a balance between security and economy. Vertical members are single steel channels, alternating with steel flat bars, and connected with single rows of steel lattice bars traveling on formed steel glides for carefree operation. EG series gates are commonly provided up to 30 ft. wide and 12 ft. high, but even larger sizes may be available for some models.

LT Series Gates are performance-designed to meet the needs of the most cost-conscious buyer. Quality construction is achieved by the use of diagonal steel lattice channels in a diamond pattern riveted together through nylon spacers for light weight and smooth operation. LT series gates are normally limited to 26 ft. wide with a standard height of 6′-6″.

Portable Gates – DC and LT Series gates are also available in fully portable versions on rolling stands for temporary usage in adjustable widths and a typical 6′-6″ extended height.

Gate Cabinets can be provided to secure and conceal gates when not in use. Recessed steel cabinets with lockable hinged doors are available in deep and shallow designs for varying installation conditions.

NOTE: Most gates can be either single sliding or bi-parting, and can roll on floor casters or in top or bottom tracks.

Chain Gates are fabricated from horizontal and vertical rows of interconnected chain links in a square pattern suspended from a top track. They are typically used as easily operated collapsible sliding enclosures on truck trailers, but can be adapted to provide inexpensive access control for smaller openings on buildings as well.
