Sliding Gate and Break-in Tip

 Tilting Gate and Break-In Tip – One of the best and most versatile ways to keep your garage closed and protected is opting for a tilting gate . This is very possible, as it is a very practical type of gate when it is activated to open or close the garage, both in manual and automated modes.

  Tilting gates are the most used models currently in several cities in Brisbane. In addition to being very safe and practical, it also gives a great aesthetic view both inside and outside the property. They also guarantee great ventilation for the place, in addition to providing natural light to the environment, depending on the chosen closure model.

 Even with all the practicality and versatility that a tilting gate can provide to the property, it is important to pay attention to a safety detail that, in many cases, goes unnoticed, or is not taken very seriously when buying Garage Door Service in Brisbane.

 What is this detail that compromises the security of the property?

 Yes! It's true… When an automatic gate  is installed in a property, one of its sides is vulnerable to break-in. If observed carefully, anyone can easily notice that along the entire length of the gate height, there is only one pin on each side to keep the gate leaf attached to the gap! This pin is also known by the name of “spin point”.

 As these two pins (one on each side) are in the center of the gate when it is closed, it ends up leaving the lower part of the gate, close to the floor, very susceptible to break-in.

 When the tilting gate is motorized, one side ends up benefiting from the locking provided by the motor itself when the gate is closed. Even so, one side remains without any protection, leaving the property vulnerable just the same.

 How does break-in occur?

 In one hundred percent of the cases, the malicious person sits on the sidewalk next to one of the sides of the gate (the side that does not have the motor), puts one foot on the wall from the bottom, very close to the floor, holds it with the two hands on the corner of the gate from the bottom and begins to force the leaf out, bending it little by little from the pivot point downwards, until a thinner person manages to pass through the gap causes the force…

 How to solve this problem completely? Swing gate

 To solve this problem with absolute success, it is recommended that an electric lock is installed on the opposite side of the motor, so, in addition to the pivot point (pin in the center of the leaf), the gate will also have a lock pin in its lower part.

 Swing gate This electric lock activates the pin automatically together with the motor activation and can be installed by the same company that manufactures the Garage Door Repairs in Brisbane.
