When it comes to home security, most people focus on alarm systems, CCTV, and electric fencing. But your gate – the very first point of entry – often gets overlooked.
At CENTURION, we believe your gate should be your strongest defence. That’s why we’re shining a light on four simple, powerful upgrades that can help protect your property.
- Add an Anti-Lift Bracket
This small, rugged device prevents criminals from lifting your gate off its track – a common method of forced entry. It’s affordable, retrofittable, and incredibly effective.
- Lock Down the Motor
Motor theft is on the rise, and your gate motor is a high-value target. The CENTURION Theft-Deterrent Cage secures your motor in place with a robust, reinforced frame and brackets.
- Install Safety Beams
Beyond safety, these devices also act as early warning systems. If someone breaks the beam, your motor can be set to trigger an alert or stop operation, while PIRAC Mode ensures the gate closes safely behind you as you enter or leave your property.
- Keep Your System Maintained
Regular servicing ensures your gate runs smoothly and securely. A faulty motor or damaged rack can become a vulnerability. Your installer can check everything from gate alignment to remote access logs.
Bonus Tip: Use SMΔRT Access Control
With the MyCentsys Remote app, you can monitor activity and control who has access, even when you’re not home using features such as Access Sharing, or by adding an ULTRA GSM device for true remote control and monitoring capabilities. Our SMΔRT range (excluding D3 SMART) also boasts a built-in vibration sensor, detecting movement on both the motor and the gate, and can be easily integrated with a 110dB SMΔRT Siren, external alarm, or even an armed reaction company. This acts as a powerful theft- and tamper-deterrent, as well as an early warning system to stop security threats before they escalate.
Security isn’t just about having a gate – it’s about fortifying every part of it. Let CENTURION help you seal the gaps.
