Parkhurst alarms: covering renovated homes next to busy pavements
Parkhurst is about 5 km south-west of Sandton City. Parkhurst's layout means many freestanding homes and businesses have perimeters right on the pavement, particularly near the main retail avenues. The suburb's dense, village-like stands place properties close together, often with a mix of older boundary walls and modern fences from recent renovations, creating varied points of entry.
Our approach here starts right at the street boundary. For homes, this means installing outdoor beams to cover the small front garden or driveway, giving a warning before anyone reaches the house itself. For the suburb's many shops and restaurants, we secure street-facing glass and doors with detectors and contacts that work with their specific layouts.
Because so many Parkhurst properties are renovated and sold, new owners often inherit an alarm system with an unknown history. An important first step is to have us test the system and change all the user codes. This ensures the alarm is reliable and that only you and your response company have access.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our alarm systems page.
Questions from Parkhurst
My shop has a storeroom at the back. Can I keep the storeroom alarm on while we are open?
Yes. We can configure the alarm into separate areas. This allows you to arm the storeroom and back entrance independently while the main shop floor is disarmed for customers.
Our garden is small and our dogs are always in it. Will outdoor beams just cause false alarms?
Not with a proper installation. We use pet-tolerant beams and position them carefully, often above the height of your dogs, to create a secure perimeter that allows your pets to move freely below.
Every Parkhurst property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your burglar alarm work.
