Besides ensuring that all doors and locks are properly fitted and maintained, there are many ways to further boost security around residential and commercial exits and entryways. Those who invest in added security features are much less likely to experience theft, intruders, and unexpected damages. In this month’s blog, we discuss the gadgets and varieties of doors that property owners can use to transform a buildings most vulnerable points into its most secure points!

Commercial Properties

Card / Badge Reader- Doors that only open upon recognizing authorized badges and/or ID cards are popular among doctors, lawyers, and tech offices. Card readers can be fitted for both interior and exterior doors depending on individual security needs.

Employee ID Code- Slightly less convenient are doors fitted with keypads. These essentially provide the same benefits as a badge reader does, but can make entering rooms and buildings a slower process.

Fire Doors– A fire door won’t actively safeguard you from introducers or theft, but it can signal an alarm if used and also help prevent a fire from spreading further into the building.

Security Shutters- Rolling security shutters typically deploy from an overhead spiral to secure entryways, windows, and cabinets from theft. These are common for shopping malls, snack bars, and push carts.

Gates– Exterior gates can make a bold statement about a company’s commitments to security. These can be installed to secure commercial fleets, employee vehicles, and the business itself.

Residential Properties

Coded Front Door- A coded front door is a front entrance door that has a door knob equipped with a pin pad. Many homeowners and apartment complexes are converting to these ‘smart lock systems’ for their unbeatable convenience.

Garage Door Code & Remote- Securing your garage with a unique code will make it nearly impossible for someone to break in. Authorized guests will only be able to gain entrance to the garage with the secret code or with a custom remote control.

Gates– Residential exterior gates not only look fantastic, but they help keep homes, pets, and vehicles more secure than ever before. These gates can require a code or a remote control to gain entrance, all depending on individual security preferences.
