Rolling Steel Doors

 

The standard type of Toronto overhead doors, rolling steel doors offer an easy and secure solution for many entrances.

These doors provide some basic environmental protection but can open very quickly due to their lighter weight. In practice, they look very similar to rolling steel doors at a glance, although they are less durable over the course of many years.

In this regard, a security gate is an excellent option.

 

Security Gates

 

Security gates work with perimeter fences to provide limited access to a site. You can put these gates around your entire property or just in one specific area, as required by your business needs. To prevent easy pedestrian access to the site, you should opt for a sliding security gate that makes it difficult for unauthorized people to walk onto the site. If you just want to limit vehicle traffic, an automatic barrier gate allows you to make sure that only certain vehicles or drivers with proper credentials can reach a site. You can set security gates to open during specific work hours, automatically with the use of a remote or scanner, or you can set up a gatehouse to have an employee visually confirm that the people accessing the gates are properly authorized.

 

Overhead doors solve many issues and are a very good way to increase both security and efficiency within your business. When considering what to install, think about your business needs and how much traffic the doors are likely to see. Then reach out to a reliable installer in your area.
