Protecting Assets: Essential Security Checks for Commercial Properties During Holiday Closures

Commercial properties undoubtedly face increased security risks during closures over the holiday season. Buildings are unoccupied for extended periods of time, which unfortunately do present opportunities for theft, vandalism and unauthorised access. As such, it’s important to ensure preventative measures have been put in place. Aluminium doors are a critical first line of defence for commercial properties, offering strength and high resistance to attempted forced entries. 5 Essential Security Checks for Your Property 1. Inspect External Doors and Access Points Before your Christmas shutdown (and routinely throughout the year), you should be checking your doors. Check for any signs of wear, damage or misalignment that could cause any sort of compromise to the building's security. 2. Test Locking Systems and Hardware Ensure that your multi-point locks, cylinders, and any access control hardware like handles or knobs are functioning as they should. Any components that aren’t up to scratch should be replaced with a matter of urgency. 3. Review Frames, Hinges, and Fixings Look over your door’s frames and hinges to assess their structural integrity. Your aluminium systems should be firmly secured, with no loose fixings or gaps that intruders would look to exploit. 4. Check Glazing and Visibility Inspect your doors' glazing units for any sort of damage and ensure your safety, or that laminated glass is in place where required. Consider how visibility into the property is managed and if any high-value assets or stock are in view, an upgrade may be worthwhile. 5. Confirm Perimeter and Access Control Measures You should review any additional security features you have installed. Shutters, alarms, CCTV and lighting fixtures around the property should be checked before shutting down for Christmas. Why Choose BDC as a Commercial Partner?

Transforming Shopping Centres with Modern Aluminium Shop Doors

Countless shops up and down the country are suffering from old, worn-out looks – and it’s costing them potential customers. Luckily, BDC Aluminium have the perfect solution to spark some life back into any façade with our aluminium shop doors. Commercial aluminium shop front doors play an integral role in the modernisation of shopping centres. Their ability to elevate visual appeal, improve customer flow and support the demands of a contemporary retail environment cannot be overstated – and is extremely valuable for businesses looking to take the next step towards success. First Impressions in Retail Environments Your shop front is more important than you think. It’s the first thing potential customers will see as they approach, and psychologically it could dictate a shopper’s experience before they even step inside. As such, a shop door with a premium feel and modern look is vital to ensure a clean aesthetic and a welcoming, professional feel is achieved, and customers get a good feel about the place before they wander in. Certain design choices you make can also be impactful, so it’s important to consider the effects of certain shop front aspects. Slim sightlines, larger glazed areas and custom, branded finishes, for example, can enhance the overall visual cohesion of a brand. Durability for High-Traffic Areas The natural strength of aluminium makes it an ideal choice for bustling shops. It’s resistant to corrosion, warping and weather exposure – something shop front alternatives like uPVC can’t emulate. It also boasts an impressive lifespan, even under constant use. Our aluminium shop front doors are designed and manufactured with longevity in mind, as we believe in making products that last, and provide you with excellent value in both the short and long term. Accessibility & Functionality Our modern aluminium shop fronts support seamless customer movement. They support swing, hinged and automatic commercial entrance doors – making them ideal for a variety of different uses and flexible in functionality. Upgrade Your Next Project with BDC Commercial Aluminium Shop Doors Commercial aluminium doors modernise shopping centres with their elevated aesthetics and long-lasting performance and durability. They improve accessibility and create a free-flowing environment for customers. Find out more about how to improve your shop front and set your business up for success here.
