A wrought-iron gate paired with our Gothic Dual Ninja Deterrent™ anti-climb spikes delivers discreet but decisive security while preserving the elegance of a cream-tinted façade.

Context & Design Intent

Set within a low-traffic residential street, this apartment building carries classical mouldings, an arched portal, and weathered siding. The client sought to reinforce entry security without disrupting the historic character. We specified a wrought-iron gate for ornamental softness and installed a Ninja Deterrent™ spike line above the arch—low-profile yet highly effective in deterring balcony access.

Security Meets Ornament

The Ninja Deterrent™ profile adds a crisp linear accent that complements both the scrollwork of the gate and the classical cornice above. Finished in matte black, the spike line reads as a deliberate architectural detail rather than an afterthought.

Entry Sequence & Daylight

Behind the gate, a stair leads to the upper units. The open sky well ensures daylight penetration, while a compact floodlight secures visibility after dusk. The Ninja Deterrent™ spike line secures the intermediate landing without obstructing the view.

Key Specs & Notes

• Gate: Wrought iron with scroll motifs; matte black finish.
• Ninja Deterrent™ Spikes: Continuous, low-profile run above the arch; black finish to integrate with the ironwork.
• Façade pairing: Warm white siding and trim for a clean, heritage look; black elements provide contrast and definition.
• Lighting: Compact LED flood at entry for night visibility and deterrence.

Project Overview

This project took place at a private waterfront residence located outside downtown Seattle. The homeowners, a Japanese-American gentleman and his wife originally from Okinawa, also own a second home in Hawaii and value coastal living.

While the location offers a spectacular view, the property’s cliffside position also presented a security challenge. One section of the roof facing the cliff could serve as a foothold for potential intruders. To address this concern, the homeowners chose to install Ninja Deterrent™ stainless-steel anti-climb spikes, ensuring both safety and peace of mind.

Installation Points

Stainless-steel Ninja Deterrent™ spikes discreetly integrated along the parapet roofline facing the cliffside.

The installation focused on the parapet roof section directly accessible from the cliff. A continuous spike line was installed to create a clear visual and physical deterrent. The subtle design allows the spikes to blend with the architecture while providing uncompromising protection.

Material & Design

Close-up view of the continuous spike line—subtle from afar, decisive up close.

The spikes are manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel, renowned for its strength and corrosion resistance. This ensures long-term durability against Seattle’s frequent rain and humid coastal climate. From a distance, the spikes appear as a clean architectural line, maintaining the home’s refined aesthetic while enhancing perimeter security.

Security Integration

Combined with chain-link fencing and solar sensor lighting, Ninja Deterrent™ forms a complete security layer.

In addition to Ninja Deterrent™, the security system includes chain-link fencing and solar-powered motion-sensor lighting. Together, these elements form a multi-layered defense, effectively deterring unauthorized access both day and night.

Homeowners’ Feedback

After installation, the couple expressed their satisfaction with the results:

“The roof facing the cliff was always a worry, but now with Ninja Deterrent™, we finally feel secure. It’s reassuring to know the house is better protected, and we also appreciate how the design blends in naturally without disrupting the look of our home.”

In a narrow service alley, a custom egress gate equipped with Ninja Deterrent™ Gothic Dual reinforces perimeter security while preserving the refined character of a high-end residence.

The robust stainless frame combined with the Ninja Deterrent™ makes the passage both secure and elegant.

Context & Design Brief

The project site is a downtown block with a service corridor hidden between tall buildings. Because this low-visibility area posed a security weakness, the client required stronger climb-over prevention and reliable day-and-night deterrence. Our solution was to integrate Ninja Deterrent™ anti-climb spikes with a rigid stainless frame and mesh infill, creating a discreet but highly effective defensive line.

Material & Finish

The frame and gate members are fabricated from stainless steel with a brushed finish for durability and architectural harmony. The Ninja Deterrent™ spike rail aligns perfectly with the gate head, appearing as a crisp design line while ensuring uncompromising protection.

Security Integration

The mesh infill keeps visibility, reducing concealment while eliminating climbing footholds. Combined with Ninja Deterrent™ spikes and a clear security notice, the gate provides both physical and psychological deterrence.

Key Specs & Notes

• Frame: Stainless steel, brushed finish for a premium appearance.
• Infill: Steel mesh for visibility and zero footholds.
• Ninja Deterrent™ Spikes: Continuous anti-climb line along the gate head.
• Hardware: Heavy-duty hinges, access-control ready latch/strike.
• Systems: Integrated with CCTV and reinforced by Ninja Deterrent™ signage.
