Trying to find the right security measures to protect your business is no mean feat. There are so many different risks that need to be accounted for, and so many potential solutions, that you really need to make sure you take a diligent approach.
We decided to take a look at an attractive solution in this article, one that combines more conventional physical barriers – steel roller shutters – with modern, remotely accessible control devices. From the benefits of a durable barrier to the versatility of these kinds of solutions, these are some factors to keep in mind.
A durable barrier against forced entry
The most obvious benefit of remote-controlled steel shutters from LBS Group is that they provide a durable barrier against forced entry. They’re notoriously difficult and noisy to break through, so much so that most experienced criminals will think twice before even trying.
Their effect as a visual deterrent is thus almost worth it alone – after all, the most effective security solutions are those that stop people from trying in the first place!
A socially redundant approach
One of the main issues with any security system that needs to be manually operated, in person, is its reliance on a single person. Many businesses will have just one person responsible for closing up shop, and no matter how advanced your shutter system, if that person forgets to close it, the shutters won’t protect your business.
Remote-controlled shutters on the other hand add a layer of redundancy. You can have multiple people who can check that the shutters are closed, and in the case that they aren’t, they can be shut at the click of a button.
Time-saving
Remote-controlled shutters also save time. You don’t have to walk around a large building making sure that each shutter is closed – you can do it all from a single location instead. As mentioned above, if you do forget to close up, you don’t have to return to the location to do so manually.
You can close the shutters from anywhere with an internet connection, reducing the hassle that could otherwise be the result of inevitable bouts of forgetfulness.
Highly versatile
Lastly, remote-controlled steel roller shutters are incredibly versatile. They can be used for a wide range of purposes in diverse contexts, whether that’s a barrier to prevent people from breaking your shop window or a way to secure large openings in warehouses. No matter your business, if you have a large opening that requires some kind of protection, this could be your perfect solution.
Remote-controlled steel shutters can be an excellent addition to your security system, but it’s important that you get the right option. Invest in a high-quality set of shutters, and make sure that they’re installed by an experienced service provider; they only work as intended if they’re properly integrated into the building, and this is no mean feat. Check the reviews of any options you’re considering, and make sure that they’ve successfully completed installations similar to the one that you require.
