Gate Types
Temporary Fence Gate Rental Options
Our temporary fence rental includes gates that integrate seamlessly into the continuous 6-foot chain-link line, ensuring the opening is as strong as the fence itself. The right style for your Ellicott City site depends on traffic flow and necessary swing clearance for that entry. situations that need fencing
Swing Gates
Best for everyday crew entry and pickup access
Single 4-ft walk-through · double 12-ft drive-throughHinged panels pivot open and latch shut on weighted stands, providing a simple way to move wheelbarrows or pickups through an Ellicott City job site. A single gate fits most needs, while a Double Swing Gate handles wider vehicle access. Check rental price ranges on your site for details. The 6-foot panel line runs $4–$6 per linear foot. Call (866) 330-0268.
Cantilever Slide Gates
Best for tight entries and wide equipment openings
Rolls sideways · up to a 20-ft clear spanThe wheeled cantilever Slide Gate rolls parallel to the fence line instead of swinging outward, making it ideal for tight corners or walls where a "wide vehicle opening" is needed for loaders, flatbeds, or frequent deliveries, and its heavy-duty rollers and positive latch maintain smooth, true tracking over extended Ellicott City job site rentals. It fits any rental fencing for any site.
Sized Openings
Pedestrian and Vehicle Openings
For a Ellicott City jobsite or event perimeter, we size each opening to "the widest thing that has to get through"—tight enough to maintain control, wide enough to avoid scraping panels, and if you need to block sightlines, pair it with the windscreen and privacy mesh we deliver. It works.
3–4 ft
Pedestrian openings
We install pedestrian gates for easy job site access. Our self-closing gate ensures your perimeter remains secure in Ellicott City, while our maintenance team performs regular footing and screen checks to keep hinges swinging smooth despite wind gusts and changing seasonal conditions that often impact our local area. Call (866) 330-0268.
12–20 ft
Vehicle & equipment openings
Our drive-through span in Ellicott City is designed for pickups, flatbeds, forklifts, and loaders. Double Swing Gates cover the mid-range, while a cantilever slide gate opens the full 20-foot clear span for larger machinery to roll straight through easily.
Access Control
Padlock, Keypad, and Badge Access
The lock ladder system uses heavy steel hasps on every gate, allowing site managers in Ellicott City to choose the level of control with options like a simple padlock, a keypad, or a badge reader, making it ideal for a "controlled single-entry site" where security is essential, especially when access needs to be restricted. The same hardware secures our event perimeter fencing we deliver for events. Short and simple.
- Padlocks & hasps — keyed-alike padlocks so one key opens every gate on the site, or bring your own to the steel hasps.
- Keypad locks — code entry you can change between crews or shifts, so no keys go missing and no lock has to be re-cut.
- Badge access — credential readers for controlled sites that need a record of who came through the gate and when.
- Bolt-cutter-resistant latch — an Ultra Latch-type security latch that hides the shackle a cutter needs, for high-theft and high-vandalism sites.
For installations on asphalt or concrete, we use Hilti anchors to bolt the gate stands into the ground to prevent lifting or shifting.
We help you determine the right security specs for your project when you call (866) 330-0268.
Gate & Access FAQ
Questions about gates and access
Can the gate use the same key as my other site locks?
We can supply keyed-alike padlocks for your Ellicott City site so one key opens every gate, or you can use your own padlocks since on a keypad gate you set the code yourself, meaning "access never depends on a lost key." Consult gate hardware guidance. Choose your method.
How wide can a vehicle opening be?
We match gate size to your equipment. Double Swing Gates span 12 feet, while a cantilever slide gate covers 20 feet on any Ellicott City, MD site; call (866) 330-0268 and tell us what machinery needs to pass through for proper sizing.
Will the gate stand up to bolt cutters?
Standard hasps accept hardened padlocks to resist common cutters. For high-theft or high-vandalism sites, we install an Ultra Latch security latch that removes the exposed shackle a cutter needs to bite on. Call (866) 330-0268.
Do the gates work with my existing chain-link run?
Our gates match the perimeter. Because we integrate every Double Swing Gate into the same 6-foot panel line across Ellicott City, MD, the opening remains as secure as the fence, with delivery, professional installation, and pickup included in the rental.
Can you anchor a gate on pavement?
Most gates do not require drilling. Free-standing weighted stands sit on most surfaces, but for heavy traffic areas we use Hilti anchors to bolt the stands into asphalt or concrete to ensure stability.
