Gates have withstood the test of time as the number one preventive measure against theft and other undesirable crimes. In some places, burglars have direct access to houses and can enter any home whenever they feel like it. Consequently, there has been a steep increase in home robberies, especially since criminals can now monitor the activities of the people they want to rob on social media.
Another concerning factor is that even though the rate of home robberies has increased, only 12.9% of reported burglaries are ever solved. In areas with high property values, burglaries can be very problematic. You can stop burglaries even before they happen by denying these criminals entry into the community by using a gate.
As effective as gates are for reducing and stopping burglaries, they’re only half as good without secured access solutions. Criminals are adept at identifying unsecured gates, and they know ways to quickly get through those gates.
