With the best will in the world, not many buildings are
completely intruder-proof. Whilst
various security measures can be put into place to deter an intruder, if a
person has the time and the equipment to carry out a break-in without being
seen, chances are they could access a building.
However, the more security measures are put into place, the less likely
an intruder would be able to successfully break into a business premises.
Building Accessibility
First of all, it’s a good idea to look at the access to the
building. Many business premises will
have a door at the front of the building which is used for pedestrians, and
perhaps a loading bay at the rear of the building for industrial access. Both of these doors will need to have
sufficient security measures in place so as to deter intruders outside of
working hours.
Roller Shutter Doors
Roller shutter doors are an excellent and highly effective
method of securing a building. Often
made from steel, these strong and robust doors will keep out even the most
determined intruders. Whilst a burglar
left alone for a couple of hours may eventually be able to cut through a brick
wall with an angle grinder, chances are they aren’t going to make any headway
through a steel roller shutter door.
Automatic Sliding Doors
Sliding doors can also contain an interlock function which
can secure the building effectively.
Very often the doors can only be opened from the outside by a key fob
holder or if a person manually activates the door opening to allow a visitor to
enter the building.
Of course, as well as having effective door systems within
the premises, installing other security measures such as alarms and CCTV
cameras can also help to deter intruders.
Even if a person did attempt to break into the building, chances are
they would be picked up by the CCTV or the security alarm would be activated.
Having high specification door systems such as roller
shutter doors and automatic sliding doors can form an effective deterrent for
intruders. Although nothing can secure a
building 100% fully, these doors can certainly make it very difficult for a
novice or inexperienced criminal from accessing a building without invitation.
