With the induction of a new South African Minister of Police last month, it remains to be seen what meaningful changes Fikile Mbalula will enact regarding the reduction of crime in our beautiful rainbow nation. With a steady rise in burglaries and home invasions taking place year on year, now is the time to secure our homes the best we can – with solid security solutions. Trellis security doors are one of these security measures proven to keep unwelcomed visitors out of the homestead and away from you and your loved ones. Let’s take a look at three benefits of trellis doors and fixtures for optimum home safety.
Home Access Control
As a home owner, you should have complete control of all entrances to your house. These entrances include windows and outdoor areas, such as patios and braai areas, where burglars could sit and wait for you to enter before catching you unawares and forcibly entering your main house. By installing retractable trellis fixtures at these outdoor points, you further restrict access to your homestead’s outlying areas and render these inaccessible to potential intruders. Trellis fixtures are retractable which means that, should you wish to open these points for ease of access, simply unlock the slam-lock system and retract the fixture.
More Than Just a Security Gate
A trellis fixture isn’t just a security gate – it’s the difference between a crisis and a crisis aversion. Trellis fixtures featuring slam-lock locking systems are better than regular padlocked security gates as they are easily retractable and can be installed practically anywhere between adjacent walls. Trellis fixtures can be installed at windows, sliding doors, and even in passageways when looking to secure specific living areas in the home. Consider installing a sliding trellis fixture to separate bedrooms from the rest of the house, allowing you to secure yourself and your family while you sleep.
Increase the Saleability of your Home
In a country that seems to have a crime plague, a property with effective security solutions is a valuable one! Trellis gates and window fixtures are fast becoming the standard burglar-deterring security applications in homes the nation over, and can actually increase the saleability of your house. A prospective buyer would rather buy a home that already has effective security solutions installed than purchase an unsecure home – having to pay extra for security once the sale has gone through. While regular burglar bars on windows and doors are effective enough, they aren’t as eye-pleasing as retractable trellis fixtures that can be opened for unobtrusive views out of windows and doorways.
