WHAT ARE THE CHOICES?

There are many factors to consider when deciding on the right system.

Control access:
Audio and video communications and control systems can identify callers before you let them in.

Security:
Restricted access control devices from physical perimeter protection to comprehensive electronic means of controlling access to secure areas together with surveillance which often enhances protection.

Cut out unwanted traffic:
Gates, barriers and bollards control traffic, personnel or visitors and are often installed to stop short cutting and deter all but authorised visitors and occupants.

Prevention of opportunist theft:
A closed gate is often a deterrent to opportunistic burglars or vandals.

Prevention against illegal activity:
Well placed bollards can prevent ramraiders and vehicle theft.

Stop parking abuse and turning:
Closed gates or barriers will prevent the blocking of entrances and driving in to restricted areas.

Privacy:
Close board or solid gates will help to keep prying eyes and unwanted visitors out.

Convenience:
You can open gates from the comfort of your own car.

Aesthetics:
A gate system can improve the look and stature of your property and can be designed to be sympathetic to all building designs and environments.

Insurance:
Some insurers may offer discount when enhanced perimeter protection is installed.
