Supermarket Security Gates

For any supermarket, durable security gates are an essential investment. Designed to monitor car park and delivery area access and keep staff and patrons safe, these gates should be integrated with a range of other security measures — including turnstile barriers and car park bollards — to provide the best protection.

At Security Solutions, we can design and install perimeter security measures tailored to your supermarket’s requirements.

Why Perimeter Security Is Essential For Supermarkets

As with any retail space, a robust security plan is important for keeping supermarket staff, customers, and visitors safe. However, because supermarkets experience extremely high footfall and tend to have longer opening hours than other shops, security becomes even more vital.

What’s more, supermarkets require frequent deliveries, often transported by lorries and HGVs. This makes managing access to delivery areas vital — you need to ensure only authorised personnel can enter while making sure there is enough room for large vehicles.

Many supermarkets also include large car parks, which can benefit from perimeter security and traffic flow measures.

Where To Install Supermarket Security Gates

Most supermarkets receive stock deliveries at the back of the premises. This is an ideal location for security gates to prevent product theft.

Installing supermarket security gates outside delivery areas — whether there’s a separate warehouse or stock is taken through the back of the retail space — can help make sure only permitted vehicles and pedestrians have access. As well as reducing the risk of theft, this can also prevent accidents caused by falling items or similar hazards.

What Type Of Gate Is Best For Supermarket Security?

At Security Solutions, we offer a comprehensive range of gates suitable for retail use. If you’re looking to upgrade your supermarket security gates or install brand-new ones, here are your options:

Sliding Security Gates: Made from heavy-duty materials, our cantilever sliding gates are a reliable choice for supermarket delivery areas that don’t have space for a swing gate but still need to make room for HGVs.

Bi-folding Security gates: Another good option for limited space, bi-folding gates fold in on themselves and offer fast opening and closing speeds.

Swing Security Gates: A more traditional swing gate is hinged on one side and opens out (or in) like a door. It can be a good choice, provided you have room for the opening arc.

Pedestrian Security Gates: Pedestrian gates can be fitted in conjunction with vehicle access gates to ensure staff have a safe entryway when lorries are driving in and out.

Whichever you go for, we can fit all supermarket security gates with access control methods so that only authorised personnel can enter. From intercoms and digital intercoms to card readers, we can provide bespoke options tailored to your retail space’s needs.

Additional Perimeter Security Solutions For Supermarkets

Alongside supermarket security gates, we can install a range of additional measures to reduce the risk of theft and keep pedestrians and drivers safe.

Car Park Security

Many supermarkets have dedicated car parks that can get very busy at peak times. Traffic flow plates and rising arm barriers can reduce congestion and ensure all car park users can move around safely.

Bollards

Fixed or rising bollards are an excellent security measure to support your hostile vehicle mitigation efforts.

Supermarket Turnstiles

Another key location for supermarket security is at any public entrance or exit. Here, installing pedestrian turnstiles can help control customer flow to reduce overcrowding. Combined with alarm systems, these measures can also deter shoplifting and help security guards stop anyone who has attempted to steal.

Our Stainless Steel Half Height Turnstile Barriers are available in various designs to suit your space and can be combined with other security measures.

Security Fencing

Whether placed around the perimeter of your supermarket car park or combined with security gates, the right fencing can help protect boundaries. Explore our heavy-duty and industrial security fencing options.
