21 Aug Electric Gate Installation in North London
Securing Your Home or Business Against Burglars in North London
It’s not something you necessarily want to hear, but security is a growing concern for property owners across the capital. The 2025 burglary statistics for North London, show that rates remain significantly higher than the national average, so consideration of an upgrade to your security system would not be misplaced. Whether you’re wanting to protect your family home or secure your commercial premises after hours, electric gate installation in North London makes sense as a reliable first line of defence.
A successful security solution doesn’t just deter intruders – it offers an ongoing guarantee that your family or business is comprehensively protected. Finding a security company that you can rely on is the best way to achieve that. The 1st Choice Security Systems team has two decades’ experience and an excellent reputation across North London. Since 2006, property owners have trusted us to design and install good-looking electric gates that are built to deter intruders and protect property.
How Effective Are Electric Gates as a Deterrent?
Opportunistic burglars look for easy targets – properties they can get in and out of quickly without being seen. A professionally installed electric gate system does the exact opposite. It creates a controlled, monitored boundary that makes an intruder consider the risk and move on. Here’s how electric gate installations achieve this.
Do burglars actually look for weaknesses in gate installations?
An opportunist will definitely check for poorly fitted gates with gaps at the sides, weak locks, or hinges that it’s easy to break. Which is why 1st Choice installers are so thorough. We guarantee a perfect fit, protect all the mechanical elements from tampering, and make sure the gate is structurally solid. So, there’s no point of weakness for an intruder to exploit.
Do gates stop doorstep scammers?
Our electric gate installations are designed to create a buffer zone between your front door and the public street. A door entry system, mounted on your electric gate, is the best defence. If an aggressive salesperson or a potential scammer arrives, they can’t get to your front door in order to pressure you. You’re in control, from a safe distance, so doorstep crime stops being a worry.
How can I stop unauthorised people from entering our business premises?
By installing an access control system personalised to your business. If you replace keys with key fobs or keypad codes mounted on your electric gates, you can instantly stop former employees gaining access and grant permissions to current staff and visitors. Linking this to CCTV provides a complete security overview, ensuring only the right people get in.
