Why NYC Property Owners and Tenants Choose Steel Masters for Rolldown Security Gates

Precision-balanced spring systems — every curtain is manufactured and weighed on a scale to produce an exactly balanced spring assembly. This is the old-fashioned way of doing it right — not the shortcut most shops take.
Custom fabricated to your opening — every gate is built to your exact width and height. Jam-to-jam mount, face mount, and reverse mount configurations available.
Solid and see-through grille options — solid flat slat curtains for maximum security, or see-through grille curtains with straight link, brick pattern, or aluminum grille inserts for storefronts requiring visibility after hours.
Push-up and pull chain operation — standard push-up manual gates for smaller openings, pull chain operation for larger or heavier curtains requiring mechanical assist.
Steel framing included — full steel framing of openings, guides, hood, and bottom bar fabricated and installed as part of every gate project.
Over 50 years of NYC installation — Steel Masters Inc. has been fabricating and installing rolldown security gates for NYC commercial properties since 1972.

Manual Rolldown Gate Types We Fabricate

Used for bodegas, restaurants, retail storefronts, and small commercial openings throughout the five boroughs. Pull chain grille gates use a see-through steel or aluminum grille curtain operated by a chain mechanism — standard for larger storefront openings, strip malls, and commercial corridors where visibility into the store matters. Galvanized push-up gates use hot-dip galvanized steel curtains and hardware — ideal for outdoor and exposed applications where painted steel would corrode. Reverse-mounted gates mount the barrel and hood on the interior of the opening rather than the exterior — used when exterior mounting is not possible due to facade constraints or building configuration. Combination solid and grille gates incorporate grille insert panels within a solid slat curtain — providing ventilation and partial visibility in specific sections of the gate while maintaining solid security elsewhere.
