Trackside Security Solutions from dormakaba - Communication, signalling and power are essential to any railway and they often are protected by trackside cabinets and enclosures. These cabinets and enclosures can frequently be the target of organised criminal activity as well as malicious vandalism. Furthermore, as the locations are often remote it can be difficult to provide adequate protection. 

With just such a situation in mind dormakaba has developed the Gateshield which is a unique trackside security solution designed for a broad range of applications where a simple padlock and chain or conventional cylinder and handle assembly is not deemed to offer adequate protection against a determined physical attack. With the increasing availability of powerful and compact rechargeable grinders and cutters the traditional methods of securing these enclosures and cabinets can be overcome with relative ease. 

This product development along with many others introduced specifically for the cabinet and enclosure industry was instigated as a need by a client. At dormakaba we pride ourselves on our ability to work with our clients as a design partner, offering CAD design and development facilities for new and existing locking applications. We took our conceptual idea for the Gateshield, produced technical drawings and a working sample within a matter of days.

By specifying a patent protected dormakaba cylinder in the first instance, as a profile cylinder, camlock or padlock you will have also chosen a technically advanced & superior product. This most modern of cylinder technologies, coupled with dormakaba's decades of experience give’s you a high level of investment security.
