Restricted Access Control

Bolduc Solution developed, in partnership with its customers, a security gate system to counter thefts in retail stores. With the installation of our security gate, customers confirm a decrease of 80% to 90% of thefts.

Retail establishments highly appreciate customer patronage, functioning as private entities that welcome the public for commercial purposes. Nevertheless, these businesses retain the authority to restrict access to designated non-public zones. To effectively delineate these boundaries and ensure that only authorized personnel enter restricted areas, specialized security gates are often utilized to separate public spaces from secure locations.

Customer theft originating in stockrooms generally yields significantly higher financial losses than equivalent incidents on the sales floor. This disparity is primarily driven by the lack of direct supervision, which allows unauthorized individuals to identify and target high-value merchandise without employee interference. Furthermore, physical access to these zones is frequently compromised, as most retail establishments rely solely on basic “Employees Only” signage rather than robust physical barriers.

Signage does not always work, and secured access may be the best level of protection. Bolduc gates can be integrated with key fob type devices to ensure that only those authorized can access the back of house. If an intruder circumvents the system, a number of custom designed warning systems are available to our clients ranging from an audio and visual alarm, to connectivity with an existing CCTV system.
