Encino Case Study: Valley Vista Blvd Gate Security Installation

Context & Location

Encino, located in the southern hills of the San Fernando Valley, has drawn attention in 2025 due to an increase in burglary cases. As many newly affluent homeowners move northward from the hillside, privacy and perimeter protection have become key design concerns.

The property on 17966 Valley Vista Blvd features a modern white stucco façade and a lush hedge-lined pathway. While the dense greenery enhances privacy, it also provides concealment for potential intruders, making gate-top deterrence crucial.

Design & Installation

To maintain the clean architectural line of the fence, Ninja Deterrent™ GIZAGIZA HEART Black was installed discreetly along the top edge of the white wooden gate. The matte black finish introduces a subtle yet defined border, blending seamlessly with the modern design while enhancing physical deterrence.

• Dual-blade geometry prevents gripping or scaling attempts.
• Powder-coated finish ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance.
• Compact modular design enables installation on narrow or decorative gate tops.
• Complements existing CCTV cameras for a multi-layered CPTED approach.
