If you’re a commercial property owner or manager, ensuring the security of your facility should be a top priority. Although a high-quality fence can improve the security and privacy of your commercial property, installing gates in the right areas can give you and your employees extra reassurance about the safety of the building.
Here at Fortis Fencing, we’re well-equipped to build and install gates for commercial properties, and we would be happy to assess your area to create the right plan for you. In this blog, we’ll recommend some key areas to consider as you think about installing gates around your facility.
- Perimeter Entrances: Adding gates at the entrance of your property can prevent unauthorized individuals from entering your building, and it makes it easier to monitor who is coming and going throughout the day.
- Parking Lots: If you’re located in a busy area, it can be frustrating when non-employees use your parking lot to store their vehicles for the day. To ensure that your team members can easily access your parking lot, consider installing gates at the entrances to only allow authorized vehicles to come through.
- Loading Docks: Installing gates around your loading docks can boost the security and efficiency of your operation. Workers can open the gates when vehicle deliveries arrive and then securely close them once the items are unloaded to prevent theft or unauthorized entry.
- Restricted Areas: If your business has sensitive information, potentially dangerous equipment, or other hazardous components, it can be a great idea to install gates around restricted areas. Consider putting up secure gates around storage facilities, server rooms, or areas with hazardous materials to prevent anyone from accessing these areas without permission.
