Security Gates
"Security": it's often a relative term, isn't it, whether we're talking about security gates or, for example, economic security? In a worse case scenario, what we thought was secure might, in fact, not be so secure at all.
In suggesting questions that homeowners might ask when planning the installation of security gates, Paul Corsetti drives this point home. Posing the question, theoretically, of whether a security gate could hold back a car, Paul goes on to comment, somewhat facetiously:
"That would have to be a very heavy security gate, and if you are thinking along those lines, you should have armed guards at your entrance!"
In this interview with Paul, we discuss such issues as options for gate openers and lighting. Click the link below to access the interview and learn more about security gates.

Hi David,
Kudos to Paul for the detailed answer and to you for conducting the interview. I’m not an expert like Paul but I think most iron security can hold a car back to some extent. Unless of course the driver is on a suicide, ramming your gate at about 80kph; Actually, at this speed I think the car and the driver would be wrecked.
Cheers!
