Enhancing Safety and Security in Vancouver through Steel doors
Any Vancouver office building or commercial property requires regular security maintenance. Understanding the importance of ensuring the safety and security of tenants and their clients must be top priority. Given the bustling nature of Vancouver and the unfortunate crime rate. The high value of the businesses operating within the Greater Vancouver Area, require a comprehensive plan to upgrade security measures and must be checked frequently.
Conducting a thorough assessment of the current security infrastructure with a qualified technician to comply a detailed audit must be the first step. This includes evaluating existing CCTV coverage, access control systems including all doors and architectural door hardware, lighting, and emergency protocols.
Doors are the entryway to all access through any building and below outlines the measures required to maintain a secure and safe environment.
Access control is the key to keeping out unwanted guests. First priority should be to reinforce all door frames. Frames of all entry and exit doors must be converted to steel to withstand forceful impacts. This structural enhancement makes it significantly more difficult for intruders to break in through brute force.
High-security locks for all exterior and sensitive interior doors, designed to resist picking, drilling, and other common tampering techniques. This often deters and exhaust intruders.
Doors replaced with models made from robust, intrusion-resistant materials such as solid-core and metal doors installed in key areas, will provide an additional barrier against unauthorized entry.
Anti-tamper devices should be added to doors, such as latch guards and reinforced strike plates. These features prevent the manipulation of locks and latches, further securing entry points.
To ensure doors are not left open accidentally, installing automated door closers that close behind each person control unwanted entry. This ensures that doors closes and locks automatically, maintaining security at all times.
For emergency exits, panic bars with integrated exit alarms allow for quick egress in case of an emergency while triggering an alarm if the door was opened unexpectedly, alerting security personnel.
