Open Grille Security Gates
718-766-0284
In 2011, the City of New York passed a law banning the installation of solid-panel security gates for commercial stores. Existing security gates that are not open-grille must be replaced with open-grille gates by 2026.
Open-grille gates prevent break-ins while allowing customers and police to see inside a business at night. If you choose to install a gate, City law requires at least 70% transparency. These gates ensure merchandise is always on display, allow interior light to shine on the sidewalk, and make the street more appealing.
This retailer sells expensive products but has installed open-grille gates inside the store for security and compliance with City law.
