Didn't want to start a new thread so i'll post it in here.

My security company quoted me 20k to install beams around my house. Does it really cost this much?

I would go back to them and ask them to confirm the make and quantities.

Just spoke to my sister and they had 4 beams installed a few months back for 12k which sounds reasonable.

Is it an issue having beams installed with a different company other than your main security?

Nice find.

Prevents lifting as well as protects against the crims breaking the track off and just sliding the now trackless gate open
