Benefits of Turnstiles for Security

Monday, February 23rd, 2015

Commercial High Security ProjectsTurnstiles are a great way to maximize security in a perimeter of an area. You may see them at high security buildings or premises such as the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland. Hercules High Security has installed many turnstile security systems for specific businesses and agencies. Custom fencing is what we can offer for safekeeping of your property.

What is a turnstile security system?

A turnstile is a gate usually made of metal that connects to a fence and only allows one person at a time to enter. The horizontal bars that you see on turnstiles make up the revolving “door” on the gate. Some turnstile security systems have a place to swipe a badge to enter and others have a code. Facilities can also have a guard present to easily monitor the people coming in and going out of the premises.

There are various types of turnstile security systems to choose from.

  • The MST turnstile is one of the most commonly used gates. It reaches full height at 91.5” and automatically turns itself into place after someone has gone through it. This ensures that no one else will be able to sneak through. When one pushes softly on the gate, they may enter. When someone is trying to get in with force, the door becomes harder to open.
  • The MSTT is similar to the former model, but occupies less space and offers two turnstiles. One person can enter while another is exiting, creating a convenient flow of foot traffic. This model reduces the noise level of the metal locking in place.
  • The CLST turnstile gives a more inviting look and feel. The frame is aluminum and has the same benefits as the MST turnstile. The turnstile will integrate with just about any access control system as it is electronically controlled.
  • The CPST turnstile is eye-pleasing and usually used in high-profile facilities. It impresses visitors but still gives protection for the higher-ups inside the building. It has a clear side and arms that allow you to see what is on the other side. It is more affordable and secure than installing a revolving door. We may actually recommend this type of entrance for upscale hotels in the city.

Install a turnstile suited for your needs.

Hercules High Security can install a turnstile security system customized to what you want. Parts can be added to pre-existing structures for maximum security. We have installed hundreds of turnstiles varying in size, shape, and applications. Whether your security solution requires a galvanized, powder coated, manual or electric turnstile, Hercules can provide it for you.

We have six convenient locations and there is a Hercules High Security professional ready to serve you from Maryland and the Washington Metropolitan area to North Carolina. Our branch offices are in Manassas, Richmond, Newport News, Norfolk, Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina.

Types of Anti-Climb Strategies for your Fencing

Saturday, February 14th, 2015

employs multiple anti-climb strategiesThere are many different strategies to make a fence more difficult to climb. Intimidation factor, the size and shape of posts, the post tips, and barbed wire are some of the more common anti-climb strategies. Each has its own set of benefits that you should consider when in stalling your high security anti-climbing fence.

Intimidation Factor

The intimidation factor of a fence is its first line of defense. Make a fence intimidating enough and no one will even try and climb it. Several factors go into the intimidation factor of a fence. The warning signage, security cameras, height of the fence, how sturdy it looks, and whether or not it’s topped with apparent anti-climb devices all have an impact on how intimidating a fence is. The only problem with intimidation factor as an anti-climbing strategy is that you might want to provide security to your business without intimidating and deterring public visitors, employees, customers, or potential investors.

Size and Shaping of the Post

The size and shaping of the fence posts go a great way towards determining whether a fence can be scaled or not. With the right size or shape of post it can be difficult to comfortably grip a fence in order to scale it. Posts that are very large make them difficult to grab, or posts with hard sharp edges are uncomfortable on the hands. The advantages of having a post sized and shaped to be difficult to climb is that it makes spur of the moment climbing difficult, without making the fence intimidating. The disadvantage of it is that on it’s own it can be defeated as an anti-climbing strategy by sufficiently determined climbers with tools.

Sharp Post Tips

Sharpened or shaped post tips are classic anti-climb strategies for fences. By sharpening or shaping your post tips you can make them dangerous for climbers who are trying to go over the top. They might cut their hands on the tips, or have clothing get snagged on the post tips when they try to go over. As with altering the posts shape and size, this is an excellent strategy for deterring spur of the moment climbers. However, it shares the same disadvantage of not being able to stop the sufficiently prepared or skilled.

Angled Tops

By having the top of the fence angled outwards are another effective strategy to make climbing more difficult. By having the top of the fence angled outwards it makes climbing awkward and difficult. The climber would have to climb out away from the fence to go over it. This can be done by those of sufficient skill and strength, but is a more difficult feat then can be done by the average passer by. This works best in concert with other methods, such as the sharpened post top.

Barbed Wire, Razor Wire, Razor Ribbon

Barbed wire, razor wire, and razor ribbon are all, in principle, the same thing. They are sharp or pointy things on metal wires that will hurt people who touch them. By having spools of this strung over your fence, it can be very difficulty to get over the top of them. Like with the other methods, it is not guaranteed to stop anyone, a prepared person with wire cutters, or a padded mat can circumvent these anti-climb strategies. However, in combination with other strategies, like the angled fence top, it becomes much more difficult.

Staying Secure without looking like a Prison, Ornamental High Security Fences

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015

Ornamental-High-Security-FencingAn intimidating or imposing façade can be as useful for protecting property as the fence itself, as the first step to stopping trespassers is discouraging them from trespassing in the first place. But sometimes an eight foot tall razor ribbon fence sends the wrong message, particularly to public visitors, employees, customers, and potential investors. That’s why Hercules High Security has high security ornamental fencing. High security ornamental fencing offers all the security and protection of a regular high security fence, without the menacing austerity of a normal high security fence.

High Security

Just because our ornamental high security fences are described as “ornamental” does not mean they lack high security features.  We can install an ornamental high security fence with crash ratings K4-K12. A K-12 fence is the highest crash rating and is able to stop a 15,000 pound vehicle traveling at 50 miles per hour. How is that, for ornamental? In addition to being able to install K-12 ornamental fences, the fences may be installed with Anti-climb features more subtle, but no less effective then razor ribbon. For example, the Impasse Trident style of fence has a splayed spear tip with three points at the top of each fence picket. The Impasse Gauntlet has a feature where the top of each picket is angled outward, making it more difficult to climb over, in addition to the trident spear tops. With these features and more, our ornamental high security fences rival any other security fence in the world.

Appealing Frontage

What sets our ornamental high security fences apart from other high security fences is simple; they don’t look like they were ripped from a draconian nightmare.  Our ornamental fences are available in a variety of styles to fit the appearance you’d like your building to project, be it stately, spiky, and ornate, or a more squared or rounded modern look.

Knowing Your Strengths: Security Audits and High Security Fencing

Monday, June 9th, 2014

As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This very principal applies to doing a security audit for your facility. It is an essential step to take in order to discover if and where you have any weak points in your security system, and it can show you exactly what you need to do next in order to address them, such as installing a high security fence.

When should I perform a security audit?

Too often, we only realize we’re in need of something when it’s too late to do anything about it. Don’t wait for crime to come to you; security audits should happen early and often in order to ensure the safety of your facility. While a security audit after a crime is committed could help you target a specific area, it is better to know beforehand where you’re most vulnerable.

What should I be looking for?

Look for spots where intruders might be likely to enter, particularly where landscaping might give them an opportunity to hide before going on to the property. Make sure entrances to buildings are either secured or physically guarded at all times, and that security cameras have a clear view of the entire property.

What do I do if I discover a security risk?

The measures you take to address a security risk depend on what exactly that risk is, but for most security risks on the grounds of a property, installing a High Security Fence can be the most logical move. High Security Fences come in a variety of designs that incorporate both functionality and aesthetic appeal in order to create the ideal solution for your property’s needs. HF High Security offers many different High Security Fence models, including Anti-Climb fences, Non-Climb fences, and Impasse fences with either Stronghold, Gauntlet, or Trident tops designed to keep out any and all intruders. Chain link or barred, these High Security Fences are the best way to give you peace of mind and ensure that your facility is kept safe.

High Security Fencing

Performing routine security audits is what you can do for your facility or property. For what you can’t do, HF High Security can offer insight and assistance and help you decide what fencing option would best serve your needs. If you know you are performing a security audit and want to discuss the possibility of installing High Security Fencing, call us at 1-800-395-9597 or visit our homepage, www.herculeshighsecurity.com for more information.
