Watertight Flood Gates & Permanent Door Solutions
Permanently installed gates and doors that protect without daily effort.
Passive Automatic Flood Gate
A hands-free gate that stays open and unobtrusive in normal use, then rises and seals automatically as floodwater arrives. No staff, no warning window, no manual deployment: ideal for unattended and after-hours sites, remote or lightly staffed facilities, and any entrance that has to stay ready around the clock.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Questions about flood gates & doors? Our team will help you find the right fit for your property and your flood risk.
What's the difference between a passive and a manual flood gate?
A passive gate arms itself: it responds to rising water automatically with no staff and no warning time. A manual gate, like a swing-hinged system, is closed and sealed on command by a person before a storm. Unattended or critical sites usually want passive; attended sites with lead time can use manual.
Can a flood door be my everyday door?
Yes. Permanent flood doors are built to operate as normal entrances every day and seal against floodwater when it rises, so there's no separate barrier to store or deploy.
Do flood-rated doors still meet emergency-exit codes?
Our emergency exit flood door is designed to do both: it opens instantly from the inside for life-safety egress and seals tight against floodwater from the outside. Always confirm final compliance with your authority having jurisdiction.
How do the gates seal?
Through engineered compression sealing against a custom-fit frame. The system is fabricated to your exact opening so the seal is tight, not approximate.
Are these systems custom-made?
Every gate and door is custom-fabricated to your opening, substrate and design flood elevation.
Do passive gates need power?
Passive automatic systems are engineered to respond to floodwater itself, so they don't depend on someone flipping a switch in an emergency. We'll walk you through the specifics for your opening, how the gate works, and provide ongoing support should you need it.
