Protecting your perimeter: Good security starts with a good gate

Imagine pulling into your driveway in the dark and pouring rain and the last thing you want to do is get out of your car. But that won’t be necessary with an automated driveway gate and garage door. And the good news is that you can get this security perimeter installed with elegance and durability for our unique coastal conditions.

Margate Engineering’s Managing Director Geoff Howard-Tripp says, “After more than half a century of service on the South Coast, our family company has had years to perfect the art of meeting the South Coast’s particular security requirements. When it comes to driveway gates, we can now manufacture virtually any design or style to a client’s individual taste or specification, be it a simple one such as palisade or an ornate one such as Tuscan, wrought iron or arced stainless steel. All of our mild steel fabrications, such as gates, burglar bars and fencing are sent to Durban for hot-dip galvanizing before optional painting and installation.

“In addition, it only makes sense from both a safety and convenience perspective to have your gate automated with one of our trusted gate motor brands. It’s also advisable to automate your garage door for security and comfort.”

Margate Engineering’s security specialists supply a whole range of installations such as burglar proofing, garage doors, window shuttering and security automation. Contact them on (039) 312 2595.
