Would A Roller Shutter Door Help To Make Your Premises Safer?

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. 

Security Measures

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.
