Decals and Gate Cards
Vehicle Decals—Entrance at a Glance
Vehicle Decals allow the Seadrift Security team to identify authorized vehicles at a glance, making gate entry smooth and efficient during operating hours. If desired, Seadrift homeowners and their immediate family are entitled to these free, uniquely numbered vehicle decals for their cars. Decals should be affixed to the interior, driver's side windshield.
