Creating safe and stylish entryways for multi-residential complexes

Creating entryways and exits for multi-unit residential complexes provides its own set of challenges. Residents’ safety and security are paramount, but these are far from the only consideration.

When it comes to style, people who live in multi-unit complexes expect pristine common areas and facilities. Often, these residences aspire to an even greater sophistication in both the aesthetics and functionality of their buildings, and certainly in the entryways.

These create the first impression for residents and visitors, manage traffic flows in and out, and serve as a key point for security. Entryways need to be both welcoming and easily accessible for those with the right of entry and secure against those without, often requiring highly sophisticated access systems. At Langford, we specialise in creating commercial entrances without compromise.

Integrating access with elegance

Gates and fencing around multi-unit complexes need to enhance residents’ lifestyles, not constrain them. People must be able come and go as they please, without hassle, either on foot or in their vehicles. Family, friends and visitors must be let easily in and out, and the access system must work simply.

It’s a tall order, and more so as the number of multi-unit residences grows. Integrating advanced access control systems such as keyless entry, intercoms, sensors, cameras and lighting, as well as the practical requirements of opening and closing gates many times a day, requires quality hardware and expertise.

Doing so in a way that blends seamlessly within an entryway that looks as good as it performs is something that Langford excels at. Our many years of experience in gate design, construction and installation means that we can bring all the elements together to manage the busiest of shared entrances.

Building entrance systems to meet the demand

With high-density housing now a priority for councils around New Zealand, developers and designers of multi-unit residential complexes have the challenge of creating exceptional properties for more and more discerning buyers. The entryways to these developments have to offer sophisticated style while promising unchallenged security, in a system that can withstand constant use, assuming regular maintenance, for years to come.
