We’ve owned a small block of shops in New Lynn for over twenty years. After a long quiet period, break-ins became frequent — smashed glass, crowbarred doors, back-door breaches and even a ram-raid on the dairy. Cameras and electric security didn’t make any real difference, and the ongoing disruption was wearing our tenants down.
We asked Rowan from Xpanda to take a proper look at the site. The solution they put in finally addressed the weaknesses that were being exploited: the rear service doors were fully sheeted and reinforced, expanding mesh gates were installed behind the glass frontage, door hardware was upgraded, anti-jemmy strips were added, and a bollard was installed at the dairy entrance.
Since those upgrades, we’ve had five years with zero incidents, and tenant confidence returned immediately. The whole block feels secure again, and the issues that kept repeating simply stopped.
Xpanda solved problems that nothing else had touched.
