Mechanical protection

Fences, walls, bollards, barriers and mantraps are all examples of visible mechanical security measures that have a delaying effect. Products range from locks in doors to advanced security cell constructions, and are often available in different resistance classes. A mechanical security solution typically includes a combination of products (e.g. lock and door) depending on the application. In this context, one should be aware that the modification or incorrect installation of products, may invalidate the manufacturers' warranties. When planning mechanical security measures, the operation and maintenance should always be considered as e.g. winter weather conditions may affect performance.
