TIGER
Security Gate System
Design Concept: The entire
gate package is comprised of standard components. These
components are pre-tested as a system to assure compatibility
and to expedite design and delivery while also reducing
installation errors and facility maintenance requirements.
Tested System: The Tymetal Structural
Cantilever Slide Gate and TYM-VS Operator is the only fully
integrated gate and operator package that has been tested
over 200,000 cycles under constant duty testing in extreme
weather conditions. The system combination provides for
long service life, reducing the maintenance typically required
on other systems.

Sole Source Responsibility: Common project
specifications call for the gate to be supplied by one manufacturer
and for the operator to be sourced from yet another manufacturer.
The contractor must then gather the individual components
and create a working system at the job site. The Tymetal
TIGER integrated system removes all contractor guess-work
with a straightforward system design that has been proven
to function properly.
Gateway Coverage – single gates to 40’, doubles
to 80’. Uniform design configured and formulated
to service vehicle openings from 10 foot to 40 foot wide
(double gates to 80’). The gate panel height may range
from 4 foot to 16 foot tall. A choice of gate panel fillers
is available - either chain link mesh, various ornamental
picket designs or other materials as required. The gate
panels may also be color coated to match the adjacent fencing
system.
Increased security is designed in:
Lock Location - Precise alignment Special Catcher - Prevents
deflection. Hand Crank - Keeps gate in control, operated
from a secure area at all times, with or without power.
Gate, Operator & Lock - Designed to work in unison forming
the most comprehensive and most thoroughly tested gate system
in the security industry.
Gate Panel: Engineered aluminum
gate panels are designed for strength and corrosion resistance.
Tymetal Corp. gate panel design utilizes sealed ball bearing
internal rollers that provide protection against tampering
and inclement weather. The aluminum gate material, with
stainless steel and hot dip galvanized hardware, ensures
the gate provides the best possible appearance at your project
site.
Operator: The TYM-VS operator is the most secure
offering within the security industry. TYM-VS is a state
of the art, virtually maintenance free chain driven operator
offering the most secure features in the industry while
still allowing installer friendly alignment tolerances.
This system features slow start and soft stop along with
high operational speeds of up to 2.2 feet per second. The
entire motor assembly is protected within a 10 gauge hot-dip
galvanized steel motor box and locked with a six tumbler
mechanical lock. The motor box hinges are tamper-resistant
and welded in place. Manual operation is provided by a manual
hand crank that is attached to the gear box within the secure
motor box.
Sliding Gate Lock: Waterproof, tamper-resistant,
electrically operated security gate lock features a six
tumbler mechanical release. Security lock also includes
status indication for lock position (locked or unlocked)
monitoring. The security lock and gate operator are designed
to work in unison to ensure trouble free operation while
maintaining perimeter security.
Catcher Assembly: Specially designed gate catcher
provides protection against possible pedestrian attack by
preventing gate deflection at the end of the gate panel.
Tymetal "Secure Catcher" captures the leading
end of the gate panel between 2 posts at both the top and
bottom of the gate, eliminating the threat of prying the
gate panel open.
