Installing automated gates as a form of security to protect your home a family is a wise choice. However, with different materials and styles of gates available, deciding which type best fits your requirements can be a minefield. In this article, GateKraft discuss the merits of closed view and open view gates to help determine which type of gate best fits your needs.

Closed view gates are solid gates that don’t allow passers-by visibility of your property. Therefore, this must be the obvious choice to enhance security, right?

Closed view gates are often likely to deter burglars because:

  • They have no visibility of what’s on offer for the taking
  • They have no idea of any additional security measures in place to protect your property

In conclusion, burglars are less likely to risk getting caught if the above factors are unclear and will most likely target properties with less protection.

Open View Gatesopen view gate

On the other hand, open view gates offer visibility to neighbours and passers-by, of any suspicious activity taking place within your property, offering the potential to expose and stop burglars.
