Staying safe and secure on the South Coast

Security is a word that can have a negative connotation in some people’s minds because it can conjure mental images of foreboding or prison-like steel gates and bars. But while security is necessary in our everyday life today, there’s no reason why it can’t be aesthetic and even beautiful. This is particularly the case on the South Coast where the current warm weather forces us to leave our doors and windows open to stay cool – creating a potential security risk for intrusion.

Since 1958, Margate Engineering have been perfecting the art of securing homes and offices beautifully. The company’s Managing Director Geoff Howard-Tripp explains, “When we assess a client’s security needs, we also discuss their personal tastes and styles so one can almost forget that you’re even looking at security once it’s installed.”

Whether your design features the quaint look of Tuscany, the modern lines of shiny stainless steel or a plain motif, Margate Engineering individually manufactures to your exact specifications. At the company’s well-equipped Manaba workshops virtually all the necessary metal crafting can be done. With the aid of the profile bending machine, graceful bends and arcs can be attained. Finished in either galvanised and painted or stainless steel, your new railings will be able to withstand the harsh coastal conditions and provide that necessary safety barrier for years to come.

Margate Engineering also supplies a broad range of security products, including driveway and pedestrian gates, intercoms and automation, window guards and a comprehensive fencing selection.
