NoGo Security Enclosures... the last line of defence

ATM machines, by their very nature, will always be a target. Holding vast quantities of cash at any one time, criminals and opportunists will always look for ways around any security measures put in place.

What’s more, as the growth in the number of ATM machines in the UK has been exponential since their introduction in the early 1970s, there is more opportunity for attack than ever before; especially as cash points are cropping up all over the place, from the side of shops and petrol stations to car parks and the side of takeaways.

Of course the ATM installer often uses bollards to protect against vehicles ram raiding them. They also encase these machines in concrete. However, any serious criminal will tell you there is always a way in.

Recently SSP Direct were approached by a Cashpoint installation and security company. They were looking  to protect against the whole ATM machine being taken away and opened up off site.

Having trialled various security fixings, they concluded the best way to protect against nuts and bolts being undone was to use SSP’s innovative NoGo enclosure. These ingenious NOGO enclosures (so named because once used your property is going nowhere) encase both nuts and bolt heads. Please see image right.

In our opinion, the Home Office approved NoGo enclosure offers  an extremely high level of security. This two part enclosure is made from case hardened, zinc plated steel and resists most forms of attack, including saws and drills. Furthermore, no specialist tools are required. You simply use a socket to tighten or hold the nut or bolt. To then  seal  the enclosure you just need a  hammer.

The only word of caution we would share is once closed, this enclosure is almost impossible to open again!
