Blast Gates
Nothing can give total safety against forced
access but strong steel blast gates can improve security. A blast gate
should preferably open outwards, and close to form a V barrier which
will jam if forced from outside. They should be fully clad to give
cover from view; or clad in solid steel plate to give protection
against small arms and artillery shrapnel.
The blast gate should be covered from an observation post on
one side or both sides. It would be better if the gate can be
surrounded by blast deflecting
walls. It would be better still if the blast walls had a
labyrinth or dual lock gate, so that in coming trucks enter, and stop
surrounded by blast wall and gate. Such dual lock blast gates would be
able to save many lives if methods of attack used in the past were
repeated.
