Safety and Security

GKD focuses on design and function when considering safety and security products and solutions. Whether you are looking for our standardized Presidio Railing System, or for more customized projects like infills, Steel Weave™ roller doors, or large and small area containment, GKD has your safety and security solution.

Fall Protection

Fall Protection

Exceptional aesthetics coupled with safety, minimal care and maintenance and durability make metal fabric railings and balustrades ideal for both new construction and renovation. The flexible material easily follows the rise of a staircase, while framed fabric panels adjust for point fittings, posts, and handrails.

Steelweave

Steelweave

Steelweave roller shutters, developed in partnership with CornellCookson, protect sensitive spaces from unauthorized access. Useful in retail locations and other high-volume pedestrian traffic areas, the system can be used as a visual access barrier or equipped with a self-locking system for theft protection. Roller shutters can be operated manually or automatically with a fully motorized system.

The GKD creative team was integral to the complex geometry of Hayward Field’s a-symmetrical stadium bowl. Through custom detailing and positive collaboration with SRG, Hoffman and other trades, GKD proved they are leaders in the metal mesh industry, further enhancing the iconic design of the stadium.

Our parking garage project at our Winstar World Casino property presented a perfect opportunity to use GKD’s Mediamesh product, as it allowed us to use the garage’s façade facing the adjacent interstate as a live-action billboard to advertise the resort.  It was the first time we have ever used this product, but GKD and their experts were with us every step of the design and construction process.

GKD worked hard to help us realize a complex vision for a unique interactive public art piece for the Bass Biology Building at Stanford University. Their level of dedication to the project and deep knowledge of the materials made me feel confident that we would be able to successfully address any challenges that might arise. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to work together.

I had never dealt with GKD nor had I installed a screen like the one we furnished at the Pfeiffer University Health Science building. I was almost sure we were in for a difficult process. I was really surprised when the whole relationship went smoothly. GKD was very helpful and professional. We could not have been more pleased with the outcome.

Working with the GKD team was an excellent experience. GKD provided their metal fabric stainless steel panels to Alumawall, Inc on four projects in Sunnyvale, CA. Their project management made the entire process seamless and their metal fabric stainless steel panels were shipped right on time and in excellent condition with superb packaging. All parties involved with this project are very pleased with GKD’s performance and quality of their product.

It was a pleasure working with the GKD team. They were very helpful and informative about their product. Design and coordination were hassle free and smooth. During a recent project, another trade damaged a couple of mesh panels and the GKD team did an outstanding job getting the replacements to us in a very timely manner.
