Homes and businesses alike can house valuable goods and equipment and can be where your loved ones reside. When equipment is stolen, businesses can be seriously hurt. When a home is broken into it can be devastating for a family.
Utilise a custom property gate to make sure your commercial and residential property security needs are fully met. Gates can offer a number of supplementary additions to increase their aesthetic appeal and security capabilities. Custom property gates can be crafted in both swing and slide styles.

Swing Gates vs. Slide Gates
There are two main styles of gates, which are referred to as “swing” and “slide” gates. These are some the pros and cons of both gate styles:
- Swing Gates – Swing gates open outwards. These gates do not require base sliders to be installed. These gates may be less durable and resilient than a slider gate. For residential properties, swing gates can be ideal for offering the most aesthetic option that is less costly and still offers great security benefits.
- Slide Gates – These gates are more durable and can be ideal for commercial and industrial sites, housing expensive equipment and goods. These gates do not require and opening space, as they simply slide along a runner system installed under the ground.
Both gate styles can offer a number of property aesthetics, functionality and security benefits. The goals of the gate and respective property will dictate what style of gate is ideal for your needs.
Access Controls & Security Upgrades
Gate systems can employ a number of custom benefits to fully meet your needs in regards to function and security. These are some of the access controls and security benefits that your gate system can utilise:

Property Gate Benefits
Installing a gate on your residential or commercial property can offer a number of benefits in regards to safety and visual appeal. Consider these four key benefits when deciding if your home or business needs a security gate:
- Increased Security – Your properties security can be increased with a physical barrier between the building and unwanted visitors. Studies have shown that a large fence, in cooperation with a gate that has motion sensor lighting, can make your home 300% less likely to be burglarized.
- Property Value – A property that has a gate installed can stand out in any neighbourhood. Gates, like many other home improvement projects, can also increase the resale value of nearly any property.
- Protect Loved Ones – Driveway gates do not only protect your home and your things. They protect the lives of your children, pets and others living in the property.
- Aesthetic Benefits – Gates can further promote a very upscale perception of your property. A custom gate can be designed to perfectly match your home’s colours or fence aesthetics.
