Our project managers will guide you through the steps to retrofit our products to your existing gate or door posts. We have engineered solutions to fit every challenge.
Integrated Post
Projects using our full Covrit® Wall Surround System benefit from using a wall post as the gate post. No special gate post is necessary, saving money by eliminating the additional extra posts and footer installation. The integrated wall/door post also provides a streamlined appearance by blending the wall and gate into an elegant, coordinated system.

ToughGate™ Enhancements & Accessories
Handles
All ToughGate and Covrit handles and hardware are powder coated and color-matched to the coordinating gate frame for superior aesthetics.
Bridge Handle
This sleek and smooth ergonomically improved handle is the standard gate handle for Covrit and ToughGate products. The Bridge handle is a powder-coated aluminum, offering a resilient finish for UV and weather resistance.
Modern Handle
Modern and edgy, this corrosion-resistant handle features a powder coated, anodized aluminum construction for superior durability and longevity.
Classic Handle
Elegant and stylish, the Classic handle is ready to give an impressive new look to any project. A high quality, heavy duty option, this handle features a powder coated, zinc die cast construction.
Latches
Our color matched, lockable latches are designed for years of maintenance free use.
Drop Pins
An important an often-overlooked gate accessory, drop pins hold your gates open when needed and closed when you don’t. We provide heavy duty durable, ½” stainless steel pins, with adjustable mounting hardware.
Tip – remember to check the drop pin hole regularly. The drop pin performs best if the hole remains cleaned out, ensuring full engagement of the pin.
Custom Cutouts
Adding cutouts or decorative elements to your enclosure or gates is as much about design as it is function. A cutout can provide visual interest to a wall section or gate and also create a view port for security purposes, or ventilation for enclosed equipment. Our team loves the unique ideas that architects and designers have come up with. Share your idea with our team, we’re up for the challenge.
Auto Openers
Liftmaster
Liftmaster provides a reliable and high performing gate opener that integrates well with our ToughGate solutions. A commitment to quality and a warranty that they stand behind, makes Liftmaster a great compliment to our gate system.
