A security door closure system for cruise ships and other similar public
entrance points to prevent terrorist attack or ship take-over is needed.
Cruise ship passenger and ship provisioning entrance gangplanks pass
through large hydraulically operated shell doors. The gangplank must be
removed to close the shell door. The quick close security door system
(Door-Gate) is a portable bullet resistant rapid close door system that
is placed in conjunction with the gangplank or other entry system, which
when closed prevents forced entry. A single lever either remotely or
manually operated immediately closes the doors, which then cannot be
forced opened from the entrance side.
