1. Added layer of security
Security gates, as their name states, increase security. They add another layer of security, that increase the feeling of safety and reduces criminal activity. Please don’t rely solely on a security gate, but rather see it as an additional layer of protection.
2. Controlled access
To prevent any unwanted visitors, and to be in control of who gains access to your home or business property. Putting a gate in place puts the power in your hands, as you can then decide who you allow in.
3. They’re physical barriers
This may seem obvious, but a solid security gate provides a physical barrier between the people and/or property you want to protect and criminals. It makes it much harder for intruders to get into a property or area. The more time they must spend to gain access, the less likely you will become a target.
4. They’re a deterrent
Security gates are clearly visible to criminals. Most criminals won’t waste their time trying to break into a property with security gates. They do not want to get caught red handed whilst struggling to open the gate.
5. They prevent vandalism
Having a gate in place doesn’t only protect your home and business from burglaries, but also from vandals whose aim may not be to steal or harm, but to destroy. These can be very effective on building sites where building material are out in the open and easy to steal.
6. They’re easy to operate
Security gates are a simple, yet very effective, security tool. Sometimes alarm- or camera systems can be overly complicated, and people then avoid using them. Security gates just need to be locked. Sometimes people choose to motorise these gates with a swing arm to offer a keyless closing system, so that a person can quickly close the gate without having to fumble around with keys.
7. They’re cost-effective
When it comes to security options, gates are one of the most cost-effective solutions in comparison to the likes of alarm systems and security guards. Once a gate is installed, there are no regular upkeep expenses.
8. They’re an investment

Our security gates are finished with hot-dip galvanising extending its longevity in the harsh weather conditions the Western Cape are known for.

9. They’ll reduce your insurance costs
Insurance companies always charge more if there are little to no security measures in place. You will certainly be able to negotiate a better insurance deal once you have installed solid security gates.
10. They’re easy to install
