Benefits of Residential Security Gates

A residential security gate can help protect your property and looks great!

There’s no better way to increase your home’s security than installing a residential security gate. You may have seen other homes with security gates and wondered about getting one yourself, but you probably have several questions, like what are the benefits of installing a residential security gate? Well, when done right, residential security gates increase the curb appeal of your home. Not only do they look great, but security gates also deter burglars and help safeguard your most valuable possessions. With better curb appeal and heightened security comes increased property value. Residential security gates can add as much as five percent to your home’s value. But, it doesn’t just stop there, so today we’ll look at even more benefits that a residential security gate can provide for your home.

Keeping Children and Pets Safe

Residential security gates don’t just help keep potential threats out; they also help keep children and pets from roaming away. Letting your children go out and play in the yard can be difficult when you live near a busy street. Once you introduce a driveway security gate to your home, you won’t have to worry anymore about your children running out into the street. And as for your cat and dog, they will be safe from oncoming traffic too!

Increased Security

Residential security gates can be installed to operate manually, or you can automate your gate.  When you automate your gate, you add another layer of defense and security to your home. Criminals target easy homes that present little effort for them to enter.  When you have a security gate, this presents a new challenge for the thief to get through. If they can’t get through your driveway gate, they are not going to get to your front door. Automating your gate with extra security features in addition to your gate’s operators, such as security cameras and an intercom entry system, are additional lines of defense.  But installing a residential security gate alone is an essential warning before those extra helpful steps.
