Benefits of Access Control & Automatic Gates
Security
Automated gates and other access control systems are your first security defense for your property. Intruders will be deterred from entering your property. Adding a camera and intercom system at your gate allows you to screen visitors—you decide who comes on to your property. Automated gates and access control systems prevent unauthorized personnel from entering your property.
Safety
American Access Company is adamant about following safety standards to ensure that your automatic gate system is installed and maintained properly. Proper installation and maintenance will not only protect your gate and operator from damage, but will also protect any visitors from being harmed on your property.
Privacy
With an automated gate access control system, you will be able to stop solicitors and unwanted guests before they get to your door. Automatic driveway gates in residential areas can give you a sense of privacy from nearby neighbors and busy streets. For businesses and commercial properties, extra privacy can be added with signage.
Curb Appeal
Looking to add an automated gate to your home or your business? A gate of any kind can enhance your property, but American Access Company can provide gates that not only boost curb appeal and also protect. We are able to customize any gate to fit the aesthetic of your home or business. Monograms, landscape designs and custom coloring are just a few of the design options we provide.
Property Value
By boosting your home or business’s security, your property value will also increase. Adding automated gates, barrier arms, or high security access control systems to your property provide a layer of protection that will set your property aside from the rest for potential purchasers. Whether you’re in the market to sell now or in the future, extra security will be beneficial to your property.
Insurance
Insurance is something many people don’t think about when enhancing their property. Some insurance carriers will provide a smaller premium if your home or business has an added security defense such as automatic gates or barrier arms. Insurance carriers understand that your secure property has a smaller chance of being a victim of theft or damage.
