Security Swing Gate
Control access through a queue opening with a lightweight, durable gate that swings in both directions and returns to center. The 30" x 12" Durabond panel mounts between compatible RETRACTA-BELT® posts and can display a clear restriction, direction, brand or full-color message on both sides.
Why Choose the Swing Gate?
The SSG3012 creates a recognizable gate within a retractable-belt queue rather than relying on staff to disconnect and reconnect a belt. Double-action hinges permit passage in either direction, the gate returns toward center after use, and the panel surface carries visible instructions or branding.
Open the Gate Inward or Outward
Self-centering double-action hinges allow the gate to move in both directions, making it suitable for controlled passages that may serve entry, exit or staff circulation.
- Swings in both directions
- Self-centering hinge action
- Avoids disconnecting the queue belt

Quarter-Inch Durabond for Repeated Use
The 30-by-12-inch panel uses quarter-inch Durabond to provide a rigid, durable gate surface without the bulk of a full-height door.
- 1/4-inch Durabond
- 30-inch-wide opening panel
- Black or White standard material
Add Messages, Logos and Full-Color Graphics
The custom DP option includes printing and lamination on both sides, allowing the gate to carry directional, restricted-access, brand or promotional content.
- Full-color custom graphics
- Printing on both sides
- Lamination included

Choose Panel Color, Custom Printing, & Orientation
Select a solid Black or White Durabond gate, or add laminated full-color printing on both sides. Because the gate moves in both directions, printed layouts must be ordered for the correct left- or right-hand orientation.

Black Durabond
A solid Black quarter-inch Durabond gate for clean, high-contrast access control within darker queue systems.
Model BK
White Durabond
A solid White quarter-inch Durabond gate providing a bright surface and clear contrast in the queue opening.
Model WH
Custom Printed
Add double-sided full-color printing and lamination for directional messages, restrictions, logos or branding.
Model DP
Left or Right Orientation
Select Model L or R so the double-sided printed content reads correctly for the gate’s installation and approach direction.
Order the Gate with Heavy-Baseweight Receiver Posts
The SSG3012 permanently mounts to compatible standard RETRACTA-BELT receiver posts. The posts must use heavy baseweights to resist shifting as the gate opens and closes.
Important Information:
Gate movement applies rotational force to the post assembly. Heavy baseweights are included in the supporting-post pricing for a new Swing Gate System.
- Compatible receiver posts are required
- Supporting posts are sold separately
- Heavy baseweights included in post pricing
- Confirm post and base compatibility before ordering
A Clear Passage Point for Staff and Customers
Use the swing gate to identify controlled entry, exit or restricted openings while preserving the surrounding retractable-belt layout.
- Airport check-in and luggage-claim openings
- Arena entrances and ticketing
- Building entrance security
- Theme-park ride queues
- Retail controlled passages
- Museum exhibits and restricted areas

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SSG3012 Security Swing Gate?⌄
It is a 30-by-12-inch rigid gate panel mounted between compatible queue posts to control an opening without disconnecting the retractable belt system.
Does the gate swing in both directions?⌄
Yes. Double-action hinges allow inward and outward movement, and the self-centering mechanism returns the gate toward its closed position.
Why must I choose a left or right orientation?⌄
Although the gate moves in both directions, printed content must be arranged for the installation and approach direction so graphics read correctly on both sides. Order Model L or Model R as appropriate.
Which gate materials are available?⌄
Choose quarter-inch Black Durabond, White Durabond or Durabond with custom double-sided printing and lamination.
Are supporting posts included?⌄
No. Compatible RETRACTA-BELT receiver posts are sold separately and must be ordered with the system. Their pricing includes the required heavy baseweights.
Why are heavy baseweights required?⌄
Opening the gate creates rotational force that can shift posts fitted with standard baseweights. Heavy baseweights provide additional stability during gate operation.
Can I add custom graphics?⌄
Yes. The DP option includes full-color printing and lamination on both sides for branding, directions, restrictions, logos or other messages.
Can an existing gate panel be replaced?⌄
Yes. Replacement gates are available for compatible existing Swing Gate Systems.
Where are swing gates commonly used?⌄
Typical applications include airports, arenas, ticketing areas, building entrances, theme-park rides, retail queues, museums and other controlled passages.
Can I order the Swing Gate online?⌄
Yes. Standard Security Swing Gate configurations are available from CrowdControlStore.com through the Order Online link.
