Security gates and access controls are a great way to protect your business from theft, vandalism, and other criminal activity. But what are some of the benefits that come with these products? Here’s a few ways that security gates and access controls can help your commercial property.

Increased Security

Security gates and access control systems are known for providing increased security for your commercial property and employees. A security system deters burglars from targeting your property and doing damage or stealing from your business. Criminals looking to steal from your business or commit vandalism are more likely to target properties with less security measures so they don’t get caught.

Beyond after-hours security, security gates and access control systems also protect your employees during the workday by keeping out the unwanted public. This is especially important if you have a warehouse or manufacturing facility that is not supposed to have public access. Security gates and access control systems deter people from attempting to enter the property without the appropriate credentials. Automatic security gates can be fitted with a keypad or connected to wireless transmitters so that only those with the keypad code are able to access the property. You can also opt to install a voice intercom system, requiring visitors to identify themselves via intercom so that only those with appointments or performing deliveries will be able to access your commercial property.

Convenience

Security gates and access control systems offer convenience for your employees, customers, and clients. For instance, security gates will require a card reader or keypad code to open the gate to get onto the property. This means that just one person has access at any given time which eliminates confusion when multiple people work on-site with different schedules.

Safety

Security gates and access control systems offer safety for your employees, customers, and clients. For instance, security gates keep unwanted individuals out of the property so that they are not in close proximity to those entering or exiting the building. This protects both visitors from people who may be trying to steal their belongings or do them harm as well as protecting on-site employees from people who may pose a threat to their safety.

Staffing Flexibility

Security gates and access control systems increase staff flexibility. For instance, if an employee forgets to swipe their card after hours when they leave the building, the security gate will need to be opened manually by someone else within that business who has a keypad code or other credentials for opening it. This ensures that your property is secured at all times and can keep track of who is on the property and when. Having automated systems also reduces the need for employing physical security staff, saving you money in the long term.
