Burglar proofing that ‘serves and protects’
Some policing services around the world use the slogan ‘to serve and protect’ to succinctly state their purpose and mission. South Africa’s own police have adopted the line for 2010 that states, ‘your safety is our goal’, which is catchy and ambitious considering the current level of crime in the country. But proper security and burglar proofing of your home can greatly reduce the chance that there will be a traumatic break-in for police to get called out for in the first place.
Managing Director Geoff Howard-Tripp of Margate Engineering, which has been meeting the engineering and security needs of the local community since 1958, says that quality security installations can give your home a first line of defence that has a remarkably successful track record on the South Coast. “Many of our clients have found our internal and external burglar guards and security gates are almost impenetrable to the average thief and give a hefty psychological discouragement too. Key to this is also the hot-dip galvanising process which guarantees strength and durability in the corrosive local climate as well as a careful, solid installation.”
In addition to burglar guards and gates, Margate Engineering also offers other security solutions such as roller shutter doors, custom-made garage doors and fencing. Visit their workshops and showroom in Manaba Beach or learn more on their website at
