10 Tips to Make Security Barriers Work in a Complex

Do a risk assessment to establish your unit's security risk profile by completing Trellidor's on-line questionnaire or contacting a Trellidor franchise to do it for you free of charge.

Fit barrier security to all doors and windows to discourage thieves from trying their luck. Your choice of product will depend on your unit's risk level.

Burglar guards and retractable security gates should be fitted inside the home so thieves have to break through doors and windows first, increasing their chances of discovery through the noise and time this takes.

Each doorway is unique so security gates should be custom made to fit, offering the best possible resistance to break-ins.

If your complex has a colour theme, Trellidor can colour coat barriers to complement this, making homes look less like fortresses from the outside and keeping the uniformity they value.

Customisations such as bottom tracks that lift up or are recessed into the floor ensure safe passage through doorways and improve the aesthetics of the security gate.

Architectural features like sliding doors, curved walls, large or very small windows should all be secured and are catered for by Trellidor products.

If the complex has cottage pane windows, Trellidor can design its Cottage Guard burglar guards to fit each unit's windows, staying within parameters set by insurance companies.

Choose the security door lock option that best suits your lifestyle. Trellidor offers patented slamlocks, deadlocks and electric clawlocks.

Make sure your new security gates and window barriers carry a warranty against quality, defective workmanship, materials and corrosion, especially if you live at the coast.
