How Do Security Shutters Work?
Security shutters shift between two positions: closed or open. When closed, the shutter is fully unrolled and covers the opening to fully protect it.
When open, the shutter retracts, rolling up into a coil located above the entrance.
The shutter can be designed with either manual or motorized operation and customized to fit your functional and aesthetic needs.
Types Of Security Shutters
Roller shutters can be operated manually or through motorized systems. Both options are intuitive and easy to use, yet highly secure.
Manual operation lifts the shutter by hand with minimal effort and can be accomplished with either a charge handle or a counterbalance system.
Dynamic Closures motorized shutters feature LiftMaster electric motors, providing smooth and convenient operation. These motorized systems work with the push of a button or the turn of a key and can include add-on features such as an emergency release for enhanced safety.

FAQsFrequently Asked Questions
A roll-up security door is an advanced security fixture commonly used in commercial, industrial, and even residential settings. Unlike traditional swinging or sliding doors, security roll shutters are constructed from heavy-duty materials like steel or aluminum. What sets them apart is their unique operation mechanism. Similar to a garage door, these doors roll upward. Unlike a garage door, a security door will roll into a coil, neatly tucking away above the entrance, rather than lay flat against the roof. This design not only maximizes space efficiency but also provides a sleek and unobtrusive appearance.
Storefronts and other operations use commercial security shutters for access control and to protect their business, building, or product from theft. Homeowners might use security shutters as well, though the installation in a residential building (such as a condo or apartment building) is more common than in single family residential homes.
All of the above!
Standard height is between 8 feet to 14 feet, but we have built grilles as high as 20 feet. Models and total size will dictate if a grille can be built oversized.
Depending on the model, it could go as wide as 30 feet. The difficulty is two fold. One is from the limitations on freight the other is the problems of installation of the grille. Many LTL carriers today use PUP’s that can only take freight up to 26 foot 6 inches maximum length. A special truck to take longer lengths can costs thousands of dollars extra. Since we are talking about thousands of dollars extra costs, professional installation on this size rolling grille is extremely difficult and takes a very experienced crew. This size opening is no problem for side folding grilles and should be at least considered.
Always. Motor operation provides easy and convenient control no matter what the size is. There are cost factors up front and the motors require space either to the side, top or front of the coil.
1. Exceptional Security
Roll-up security shutters and doors are engineered with security as their primary focus, but they also have a wide range of commercial applications. Crafted from heavy-duty materials like steel or aluminum, they serve as a formidable deterrent against intruders and break ins. Their robust locking systems and reinforced construction make them incredibly difficult to breach, providing outstanding business protection and peace of mind for property owners, not to mention customers too!
2. Vast Longevity
One of the most notable advantages of roll-up doors is their remarkable longevity. Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, they resist corrosion, wear, and damage from external elements. This durability translates to a long lifespan, ensuring that your investment in security continues to pay off over the years.
3. User-Friendly
Despite their formidable security features, roll-up doors are designed with user-friendliness in mind. They can be easily operated with minimal effort, making them convenient for employees and property owners. Additionally, the space-saving nature of these doors allows for efficient use of available space within the property.
4. Top Notch Material
The choice of material in roll-up security doors is crucial for their effectiveness. High-quality options like galvanized steel or aluminum are commonly utilized. These materials are not only strong and durable but also resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring that the roll shutter remains in optimal condition even in challenging environments.
Yes, another choice is an awning crank with a removable rod. The hook protrudes a few inches from the ceiling. The cranks are slow and somewhat tedious to use on full size rolling grilles. Cranks are a better option for Mini Roll-Up shutters.
Headroom can vary from 15 to 24 inches depending on the height of the grille. Mini Roll-Ups can fit into a space as small as 6 inches.
Yes. We have a bottom bar slat that can handle Standard Mortise, SFIC, and LFIC (also referred to as FSIC) cylinders.
