Upgrading a brick and steel entrance with Classic Ninja Deterrent™ spikes. Realizing uncompromising perimeter security while making the most of timeless building materials.

San Francisco cafe entrance with brick wall, black steel gate frame, and Ninja Deterrent™ spikes.

Concept: Brick x Steel Contrast

A composition that combines the historical warmth of bricks with the industrial precision of steel frame. As a finishing touch, Ninja Deterrent™ spikes were introduced, not only to make the entrance look "stylish" but also ensuring reliable protection against intrusions.

Classic brick, steel frame are subtly reinforced by Ninja Deterrent™.

Fusion of Security and Design

Ninja Deterrent™ spikes are installed in a seamless line on the beam, providing an effective deterrent against intrusion from above. Thanks to the low-profile design, the spikes visually blend into the architecture while still exhibiting the performance of Ninja Deterrent™ which has been proven in high-end residential and commercial projects.

Adding "Warmth" with Greenery

Plants soften the industrial hardness of brick and steel. The greenery creates a sense of welcome for visitors, while Ninja Deterrent™ ensures invisible strength above. Maintaining an atmosphere of safety and security

Spikes aligned with the shape of the fire escape to provide complete coverage.

Key points

  • Steel Frame: Finished in matte black for a modern, sharp look.
  • Ninja Deterrent™ Spikes: Installed continuously in a low-profile on the beam to reliably prevent any climbing/scaling.
  • Integration with Brick: Ninja Deterrent™ is firmly fixed while designing anchors and sealing to protect the historic design.
  • Lighting: Beam-mounted lights improve nighttime safety. Effective in combination with Ninja Deterrent™.

An example of the Classic Collection. Harmonizes with timeless materials, combining beauty and long-term security.
