The outward‑opening AquaLOCK® Gate

Outward Opening: Maximum Flexibility

The outward‑opening AquaLOCK® Portal offers maximum flexibility by folding neatly along the wall to save space. When painted to match its surroundings, it blends in seamlessly and can be closed quickly and securely in an emergency.

Certified and Tested for Maximum Safety

AquaLOCK® Portals are certified through rigorous testing by leading institutions, ensuring proven high‑level protection. In performance tests, a 4,000 × 1,800 mm gate achieved an exceptional leakage rate of just 0.95 liters in 24 hours, surpassing the requirements of ift Guideline FE 07/1‑2005. In real‑world conditions, natural sediment in floodwater often reduces leakage even further. AquaLOCK® Portals are available in widths of up to 5 meters.

Custom‑Made for a Perfect Fit

AquaLOCK® Portal are individually fabricated based on precise on‑site measurements, ensuring an exact fit and long‑lasting flood protection. Their high‑strength construction and advanced sealing technology can be tailored to any architectural style—with customizable materials, RAL colors, and surface finishes.
