Security Doors
Commercial doors need to be secure and, unlike some doors, security doors have been built with steel frames and reinforced door panels with security multi-point locking systems to security grade ratings; unlike stock doors which may look secure. Security doors are used in bank cash offices, storage areas, and data processing rooms where the door costs more than the equipment in the room.
Security Steel Doorsets can be integrated with access control systems. Instead of giving keys to new employees, access control doors with electronic locking devices can be used. Insurance Assessors look for security doors that meet LPS 1175 and/or PAS 24, which these doors meet. Insurance companies have been known to give significant discounts for these measures.
The installation is not easy due to the fact that Steel Doors are very heavy. Therefore the installation space must be built with solid walls. Most installations are done in new buildings, but existing buildings can be used with some caution.
Businesses with valuable inventory, protected data, and sensitive information should install steel door sets. Although they represent a significant upfront expense, these doors are highly secure with no access for intruders. That alone makes their value exceed their price, especially if they’re trying to force their way into your building using a crowbar at 3 am.
Security Gates
Commercial security gates define who gets on your property and when. Without security gates, a business is vulnerable to letting anyone walk onto the property, who can then walk right up to the business and access the loading bays. Automated security gates solve this challenge. They only open to the vehicles and staff that are permitted and stay closed to everyone else.
Automated security gates are integrated with access control systems like card readers, keypads, remote fobs and intercoms. This ensures that the gates are not left opened because someone forgot to lock them. Depending on your space constraints, the gates can be designed to slide open, or swing open. If your entrance is narrow along a main road, a sliding gate may be optimal. If there is ample space, a swing gate may be best, particularly if the appearance of the gate is a consideration.
Trade and business parks, office buildings, warehouses, and even factories, are all examples of spaces where automated gates are a standard fixture. Automated gates are seen as a robust security measure by insurance companies and are even mandated by certain policies for some commercial premises. The groundwork and electrical supply are the main focus for installation. However, after the installation, automated gates require minimum upkeep. If you’re securing a building with expensive stock or a yard with expensive equipment, an Automated Vehicle Access Gate will pay for itself.
