Using Mobile Security Gates

There are many, many places where mobile security gates can be incredibly effective at preventing crime. Physical security provides not only a barrier for criminals to deal with, but it also acts as a visual deterrent. Criminals understand how effective physical security gates are and they know that it will be significantly more difficult for them to break into a location that has them installed. For this reason, they often avoid the property all together.

Security gates also serve a number of other purposes, such as access control.

While some properties are able to have rolling or folding security gates permanently installed, this isn’t possible or desired in many locations such as airports, Sporting venues, shopping malls and many other public places. These larger locations may require gates that can easily be moved to different areas at different times.  However, that doesn’t mean that these locations can’t also experience a high level of security and access control.

No matter the reason, in many situations, mobile security gates are a great solution for physical security.

About Mobile Security Gates

Mobile security gates are, as the name suggests, security gates that can be moved around as needed. For this reason, there are a number of key applications for these gates. They’re flexible enough to be used in a variety of different situations and can be used just about everywhere.

These gates are powder coated tubular steel and lightweight, making movement and set-up quick and easy. They provide superior security where it’s needed when it’s needed and they’re easy to move out of the way when they’re not required.

Uses for Mobile Security Gates

One common use for mobile security gates is airport security. A major reason for this is their flexibility. Mobile gates can quickly be used to block off a very large area, but they are also very effective at providing security for a smaller space. Airports typically open and close different gates, areas, stores and entrances depending on the time of day or based on demand. By using flexible mobile security gates, these areas can quickly be opened or closed as needed without hassle.

The same is true in a variety of other applications. In addition to airport security, security gates can effectively secure areas at:

• Sports arenas
• Schools
• Shopping malls
• Museums
• Universities
• Food courts
• Office buildings
• And various other locations

Mobile security gates are used to block access to areas, for crowd control, to prevent crime and for various other reasons.

Their ease of use and quick set-up means that they can be effectively utilized in unexpected ways and in times where security needs change without much notice. For example, if a larger crowd shows up at an event and security guards cannot control them or if a hazard makes a particular area dangerous to enter, mobile security gates can very quickly be deployed.

Mobile security gates can even be joined together to provide protection for very large areas. With enough gates, there is no limit to the amount of space that can be secured. Slam locks or cylinder locking posts can be used between the individual gates in order to separate the units. This can be done in order to allow access through a particular point as well as to make the gates easier to use and store.
