Vehicle Sallyports
PLUSS Standard
PLUSS vehicle sallyport locking systems are the workhorse of the correctional market. These innovative locking devices have earned the reputation of being the most cost advantageous systems in today?s correctional market. Our products perform! Tymetal has a reference list (available upon request) that will illustrate our commitment to service, timely delivery, low maintenance requirements and the outstanding training/technical support services we provide. DURABLE:Inclement weather conditions or inmate tampering are no match for the PLUSS locking systems! The PLUSS systems feature an enclosed drive assembly. The entire drive and locking mechanisms are encased in a 10 gauge galvanized steel enclosure. This enclosure protects the locking and drive assemblies providing positive engagement without loss of draw force, (force to open and close the gate/steel door), in all weather conditions. The 10 gauge galvanized steel enclosure offers superior protection against possible tampering. SECURE: The sallyport locking systems feature a keyless three-point positive locking capability making it impossible to open the gate except by electrical operation or emergency hand-cranking. A state of the art locking device enables the system to positively lock either a chain link fence panel or a steel door in three secure locations along the leading edge of the gate or steel door.

PLUSS 10
For maximum security applications and openings up to 30? wide, PLUSS 10 features (2) 10-inch hot-dip galvanized structural steel channels joined together to form the overhead supporting track. Trolley wheels, milled from a single block of steel, are hardened to Rockwell 30, and include two sealed ball bearings per wheel. Ideal for door weights up to 6,500 lbs. Remote "open-close-stop" push buttons control the steel doors. In the event of an emergency or power failure the operator may be unlocked with our paracentric key and hand cranked. As is the case with all PLUSS Correctional Series Operators, gear ratios are set so that the door easily moves in synch with any manual cranking. Tymetal?s Locking System features our three point mechanical locking column for superior positive locking.

PLUSS Manual Crank
The PLUSS Manual Crank Operated Sliding Gate System, manufactured by the Tymetal Corp., is the non-motorized version of our Positive Locking Ultimate Sallyport System (PLUSS). It is for use in maximum/medium security vehicle detention situations, and is designed to minimize maintenance in applications requiring repetitive use and total security. This is also an excellent alternative to double swing gates that have little or no provision for locking. The cabinet housing the gear/crank unit of this system is located at ground level, but safely away from the gate opening. It is a direct drive system providing a corresponding movement of the gate panel with every turn of the crank handle. Additionally, this system utilizes heavy duty overhead track, trolleys, embedment and locking mechanisms. Complete specifications for the system are available upon request. Included with the system, upon order receipt, are shop drawings, detailed product data sheets, certifications, operation and maintenance data, and installation details. Field quality control is available upon request as is a system acceptance test under the supervision of Tymetal's field advisor.

Fortress Vertical Lift Gate
Tymetal's Fortress Vertical Lift Gate is specified in cases of high usage, especially when there is insufficient space outside of the gate opening for an overhead or cantilever gate to retract before hitting an obstacle. The heavy construction of the superstructure, combined with a drive chain mechanism, lifts the gate open and pulls the gate closed. This unique drive mechanism features a counterweight that runs inside both vertical support columns. The counterweight is designed to approximate the weight of the gate, assuring the motor and chain drive mechanism minimize stress and maintenance. By incorporating a continuous loop drive system, which is connected directly to the counterweight inside the support column, the Fortress Vertical Lift Gate is assured smooth operation in either direction. The vertical support columns of the gate superstructure are constructed of heavy duty W12x53 structural steel. The gate frame is fabricated from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy extrusions in one or more sections. The gate is attached to the vertical track by means of four self-aligning, 4-wheeled, sealed lubricant, ball-bearing truck assemblies.

Anti-Ram Vehicle Barrier
Tymetal Corp., located in Greenwich, NY and Pearland, TX, has been providing vehicle security gate systems for the correctional industry for the past 17 years. Our experience has enabled us to create a system that combines visual security with tested, proven crash protection, the Fortified Impact Gate System (FIGS). UNPARALLELED: FIGS is the only certified vehicle gate that is crash tested for openings up to 288" (24’ - 0") based on the U.S. Department of State vehicle crash performance guidelines. DETERRENCE: The Fortified Impact Gate System is designed to deter potential threats by vehicles to personnel and real property. The potential threat is defined as the mass of the vehicle to be deterred and the velocity the vehicle will be traveling at impact. In addition to the superior vehicle protection, this system is also ideal to protect against unauthorized pedestrian traffic. COMPONENTS: Mounted to the gate frame is the fortifying member, which consists of structural steel tubing housing one-inch cables, precast concrete anchors and a cast in place connection beam. When the gate system is fully closed, the precast anchors are engaged by specially designed locking mechanisms that lock the fortifying member in place. PROTECTION: The action of the locking mechanism interconnects the gate frame, fortifying member, concrete anchors and connecting concrete beam into a single unitized protection system capable of restraining the encroaching vehicle to a predetermined crash rating. CERTIFICATION: Tymetal Corp.’s Fortified Impact Gate System (FIGS) is certified by the United States Department of State (DOS) as an active anti-ram vehicle barrier. As important, the Tymetal System applies to gate openings of up to 24 feet. The FIGS, physically crash tested in November 2002, received a DOS rating of K4/L3, currently designated K4 (revised March, 2003). The FIGS was also crash tested at 50 miles per hour, limiting penetration to 18 feet 9 inches. The combination of an independently tested, DOS certified gate and a gate with opening spans of up to 24 feet is unmatched in the industry. The value of actual crash testing rather than computer simulation or in house demonstrations is significant. The DOS certification test program is the most stringent in the nation and provides a meaningful supplier to supplier comparison through testing under identical conditions. GATE SIZES: The Fortified Impact Gate System (FIGS) is certified for openings that range from 144" (12’ - 0") with increments of 12" (1’ - 0") up to 288" (24’ - 0"). ELECTRICAL CONTROLLER / OPERATIONAL SPEED OPTIONS: The PLUSS electro-mechanical (non-solid state) wiring package meets all current UL requirements while providing the maintenance staff with a very user friendly piece of equipment. The system is comprised of standard off the shelf electrical components making repairs (if necessary) straightforward and easy. Standard operational speeds of 30 to 40 feet per minute are engineered for this electrical package. TYM-VS Controller: The TYM-VS (Variable Speed) electrical package utilizes circuit board technology meeting new UL requirements. This option provides for operational speeds that range from 1.2 to 2.2 feet per second and is ideal for the larger openings or security applications that require quicker system speeds. VERSATILITY: Even though security is more of a concern than aesthetics, FIGS delivers both. For city jails or judicial parking, it can use ornamental aluminum gate panels for a decorative look. Steel chain link gate panels for a more institutional look. The anchors may also be provided in an exposed aggregate finish for an aesthetically pleasing result.
