How do you protect your business from intruders when you close for the day? Do you lock up and hope for the best? Do you use security cameras, or have other measures in place to ensure that your property and goods are safe while you’re away?
If you’re not utilizing security gates or security grilles for your storefront, maybe it’s time to consider making a purchase. Security gates and grilles have many benefits in addition to protecting your store while you’re away.
What Are Security Grilles?
Security grilles are a popular option in shopping malls, but they are also great for storefronts. These grilles can be rolled up or folded to the side. They’re the most aesthetically pleasing of the two options, and they offer visibility without compromising the security of your storefront. Potential customers will still be able to view the inside of your business, see notices, and locate the hours of operation.
Authority Dock & Door offers security grille options from several manufacturers including:
Raynor DuraGrilles come in two patterns– brick and straight. Both offer an unobstructed view of your store. The grilles are made of aluminum rods that can be upgraded to be anodized with bronze or clear finish for extra durability and sleekness. These grilles feature auto-locks that engage when someone tries to force the gate open outside of the normal operation. These grilles can be operated in five ways via a crank, chain, control stations, remote control, and Control Hoist or PowerHoist operators for jackshaft operation.
QMI has several types and styles of grilles including the LX6 and Transpararoll shutters. Both shutters feature polycarbonate pieces that are over 250 times more durable than glass. The LX6 has three-foot-wide sections of polycarbonate with anodized aluminum ribs joined with vertical spacers. Transpararoll shutters are made of six-millimeter thick polycarbonate shutters with a smooth, scratch-resistant coating that keeps out intruders, prevents UV discoloration, and provides maximum visibility.
Alumatec offers several models of roll-up and accordion-style grilles and shutters. These models feature tempered aluminum and polycarbonate bars. Like other grilles, they still offer visibility while protecting the store from intruders. Operation features include push-up, motor, chain, and crank.
What Are Security Gates?
Security gates are most commonly used for storefronts. They are placed inside, behind the storefront windows. Their accordion-style form allows store owners to easily fold the gates in during open hours and fold them out and lock them at closing. Authority Dock & Door offers AC Folding Gate Max-Guard and Easy Glide Side Folding Security Gates.
Both gates feature a lattice-style design. Max-Guard gates utilize a steel ball roller system with a steel box track that’s placed above the doorway and across the front of the store. Easy Glide gates are easy to assemble and use a pedestal mount and roller assembly.
