Unbreakable Security: Gale's Draperies and Pentagon Shutters Protect Alternate Starts' Million-Dollar Inventory

When it comes to protecting high-value inventory, standard security measures often fall short. That's why when Northern Ontario's largest Milwaukee Tool dealership, Alternate Starts, opened its new showroom and warehouse, they trusted Gale's Draperies, Blinds and Shutters to provide the ultimate protection.

Alternate Starts is not just a tool store; they are the go-to supplier for a diverse range of industries, from Mining and Mechanical to Plumbing, Electrical, Construction, Residential, and Commercial. Their new facility is stocked with a million dollars' worth of top-tier professional tools, making security a non-negotiable priority.

We knew a job this important required a product that was both robust and reliable.

The Perfect Partnership: Pentagon Security Shutters

To meet Alternate Starts' stringent security needs, Gale's chose the Defendaguard Security Shutters from Pentagon Shutters.

These Canadian-made security shutters are the only product we trust for our clients requiring this level of protection. The Defendaguard solution is engineered for maximum defense, offering an unparalleled barrier against forced entry, vandalism, and theft. The strength of this system is perfectly suited to secure an inventory that is highly desirable and easily transportable.

Here is why this product was the ideal choice:

  • Made in Canada: We are proud to support Canadian manufacturing with a product known for its quality and durability.
  • Unmatched Deterrence: The robust construction is a visible deterrent, sending a clear message to potential intruders.
  • Ultimate Protection: The system is specifically designed to defend against determined break-in attempts, essential for securing a million-dollar inventory of tools.

The Gale's Installation Advantage: Seamless Automation

Security should never come at the expense of daily operational efficiency. Alternate Starts’ staff need to open and close these heavy-duty shutters quickly and effortlessly every day.

This is where the Gale's installation team truly excelled. We integrated the security shutters with state-of-the-art Somfy automation.
