Flood Doors,
Gates & Hatches
Flood doors, gates, and hatches provide certified, everyday commercial use and heavy-duty protection for facilities requiring permanent or deployable opening protection, engineered for durability and defined flood conditions.
Engineered, Permitted, Installed, and Supported by FloodReady
FloodReady delivers FEMA-compliant flood doors, gates, and hatches for commercial and critical facilities across Southwest Florida, engineered for code compliance, structural integration, and long-term durability under defined flood conditions.
System Applications
Watertight flood doors, gates, and hatches are well suited for facilities requiring permanent or operable flood protection at critical openings.
Common applications include:
Building entrances and pedestrian access points
Vehicle access openings and loading areas
Mechanical, electrical and utility rooms
Data centers, communication and other critical infrastructure points of access.
Subgrade access points and shafts
Facilities requiring everyday use or rapid response protection
System Considerations
System selection depends on site conditions, operational needs, and long-term ownership considerations.

System Configurations
Watertight flood doors, gates, and hatches are engineered based on opening geometry, flood exposure, operational frequency, and space constraints.
Commercial Flood Doors
Manufacturer:
Flood Panel of Floodproofing.com
Commercial flood doors combine everyday door functionality with specialized sealing and latching systems that activate during flood conditions.
These hinged flood doors provide continuous protection once closed and are well suited for pedestrian entrances, service corridors, and building access points. Systems are engineered for defined flood elevations and available in steel or stainless steel configurations with optional vision panels, panic hardware, and specialty locking.
Common characteristics include:
Hinged flood-rated and fire-rated pedestrian doors
Integrated compression sealing systems
Custom sizes for opening geometry
Suitable for daily use environments

Commercial Flood Gates
Manufacturer:
Flood Panel of Floodproofing.com
Commercial flood gates are hinged or swing-type barriers engineered to protect larger openings while allowing rapid closure during flood events.
Once positioned and secured, flood gates form a reliable watertight seal without additional components or storage. These systems are permanently installed at the opening and can be finished to blend with surrounding architecture.
Common characteristics include:
Single or double-leaf swing gates
Permanent installation at opening
Rapid closure during rising water
Finish options for architectural integration

Heavy-Duty Industrial Flood Doors, Gates & Hatches
Manufacturer:
Walz & Krenzer
Heavy-duty industrial flood doors, gates, and watertight hatches are engineered for high-risk environments where extreme flood loading, pressure, and operational reliability are required. These systems are designed to meet or exceed FM and ANSI standards and are configured based on opening geometry, load demands, and operational constraints, providing dependable protection for critical infrastructure, industrial facilities, and subgrade access points.
Common characteristics include:
Industrial-grade structural construction
High-performance sealing mechanisms
Manual or powered operation options
Designed for extreme flood conditions
