Violent crime has become a serious and shameful blight
in South African communities. In the many attempts to
keep intruders out have been forced to resort to securing
themselves by installing security gates, security fences
and many other devices with the core function of keeping
all the wrong elements out. Sliding gates or swing gates,
gate operators and remotes are all devices designed
to protect your family or business.
The demand for security items has picked up to such
a large extent that these days security gates don't
just have to perform a function, but they can actually
enhance your property by their very design. You can
have them designed and tailor-made to tone in with your
existing fences. Tandem Security Systems provide the
best security gate installations in the Pretoria area
as well as professional workmanship. Security gates
that are bolted into the wall can be tampered with,
so one must ensure that the bolts should either be non-removable
or welded to prevent their removal. Concertina style
or expandable gates with locks are designed to lock
instantly if you need to slam the gate closed quickly.
Both sliding and swing gates come with a variety of
automatic gate operators and accessories as well as
solar powered gate openers, and are usually made for
all types of gates. One should however always make sure
that your electric gate opener can still be opened during
a power failure! Some people still prefer to open their
security gates manually, but automatic gates which typically
include a driveway gate , an automatic gate opener with
remote access controls is what most people want.
An automatic gate opener receives a signal from an access
control and opens the gate, but will reverse if an obstacle
is in its path, while some gates, like those in a townhouse
complex, respond to someone pushing the call button
which allows the phone to ring inside the townhouse
and they are only allowed entry once the person inside
has identified the special ring tone and pressed an
opening button.
