Why choose the right doors and gates?

It's vital to choose the right type of door or gate, as each model has its own constraints.

Take the case of a sliding gate, for example: this type of gate requires sufficient space on the sides to allow it to open and close without obstruction. Failure to do so can lead to malfunctions and compromise security. Similarly, a cubicle door should be selected according to the specific needs of the location concerned. For example, a door designed for a warehouse will require greater resistance to break-in attempts, to ensure the protection of the goods stored there.

It is therefore essential to take these constraints into account when choosing a door or gate, to guarantee good security.

To do this, it is generally advisable to call on a qualified professional who will be able to assess your specific needs and propose appropriate solutions. Choosing the right type of door or gate will give you the peace of mind you need to effectively protect your property, office or home against any intruder attempt.

Focus on the different types of doors and gates

Choosing the right type of door or gate is crucial to ensuring the security and smooth operation of a premises. Here's a closer look at the different types of doors and gates:

  • Sliding: this type of gate opens sideways, saving considerable space. It is particularly suited to areas where space is at a premium. However, it requires a clear surface on the sides to open fully, otherwise it may encounter mechanical problems.
  • Casement: this is the classic model frequently found on private homes. It consists of two leaves that open inwards or outwards. This type of door offers a wide variety of styles and materials, allowing a degree of customization to suit tastes and needs.
  • The sectional garage door: specially designed for residential or industrial garages, this door is generally made up of several hinged horizontal panels. They open vertically, saving space both inside and outside the garage.
  • The fast, flexible door: this type of door is mainly used in supermarkets where there is a constant flow of entrances and exits. Its particularity lies in its rapid opening/closing, thanks to its flexible structure, which also enables it to avoid any risk when passing through.
