Security Rated Roller Shutter Doors
It is far too easy for manufacturers to bolt a larger lock onto a standard roller shutter and market it as a security door. Genuine physical security relies on the entire structural package. A true security rated roller door demands heavy duty curtain strength, robust steel side guides and reinforced attack points. The fixing methods to the building itself must also withstand severe physical impact. This level of protection requires a product engineered and tested for security from the drawing board, rather than relying on weak aftermarket upgrades. True security demands verified proof.
LPS1175 Security Ratings Explained
In the UK, independent test houses rigorously push physical security products to their breaking point to guarantee compliance. The LPS1175 standard grades doors based entirely on how long it takes an attacker to breach the curtain using specific tool categories. Testing ranges from basic hand tools used by opportunistic thieves right up to high powered cutting grinders used in targeted industrial attacks. This certified sliding scale allows you to accurately match the doorset to the exact environmental risk of your premises.
Choosing the Right Protection Level
- SR1 and SR2 certification: Provide excellent baseline physical security for standard commercial sites, available to configure directly in our online shop.
- SR3 and SR4 models: Offer extreme structural defence against sustained heavy tool attacks, strictly priced on application.
- RC2 and RC3 options: European certified roller doors available to satisfy specific architectural or multinational compliance rules.
Insurance Compliance and Build Quality
Commercial insurers increasingly demand that industrial properties install doors with a minimum tested rating. They actively look for independent certification alongside the police approved Secured by Design accreditation. But choosing a certified roller door does more than just satisfy your insurance provider. The heavy duty components required to pass these physical destruction tests naturally result in a much stronger door overall. You get better daily performance, reduced maintenance costs and a significantly longer operational lifespan. We provide all the necessary compliant documentation for your legal records.
Specifying High Security Doors
Specifying high level SR3 or SR4 security shutters often requires specialist technical discussion. We need to ensure your existing structural openings can safely handle the physical weight of the heavy steel mechanisms.
