SR2 Rated Industrial Electric Roller Shutter: High Security Solution for Commercial Buildings
Understanding SR2 Security Rating in the UK Context
Security Rating 2 (SR2) represents a crucial compliance level in the UK security certification framework, established under the LPS 1175 standard administered by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), an independent division of the Building Research Establishment (BRE). SR2 designation classifies a product for medium risk domestic and low-to-medium commercial applications, and these shutters are independently tested to resist determined opportunist attacks using bodily force and tools with high mechanical advantage.
Specifically, SR2-rated products must withstand sustained attacks using hand tools such as crowbars, bolt cutters, pliers, axes, and gas torches for a minimum of 3 minutes. This certification level is widely recognised by UK insurance providers, making SR2-compliant doors essential for buildings seeking insurance premium reductions and demonstrable security compliance.
The practical significance of SR2 certification extends beyond mere compliance—it signals to insurers, stakeholders, and potential threat actors that a building has invested in independently verified security infrastructure. For commercial properties, particularly retail outlets, leisure facilities, and industrial warehouses, achieving SR2 certification is often a prerequisite for standard insurance coverage at competitive rates.
Product Specification: Direct-Drive 3-Phase Industrial Roller Shutter
This high-quality, electrically operated, industrial-grade steel roller shutter utilises a standard gauge 18 SWG (standard wire gauge) steel curtain with a 75mm scrolled lath profile and is specifically engineered for the UK commercial market. The traditional build configuration is designed primarily for internal face-fit applications, which is the predominant installation method in commercial buildings, particularly those with steel frame construction.
⚠️ Critical Compliance Requirement
This roller shutter door MUST be face-fitted internally to achieve and maintain SR2 certification. The guides, complete roll of the curtain, and all mechanical components must be entirely positioned behind the structural opening and completely concealed from the exterior. If installed between the structural frame or externally, SR2 certification compliance becomes impossible, rendering the product ineligible for insurance-backed security endorsement. This internal mounting requirement ensures that external forces cannot target or manipulate the mounting mechanism or guide rails.
Motor and Drive System
The shutter incorporates a high-power 3-phase direct motor drive system operating at 415V, delivering superior longevity and reliability compared to single-phase alternatives. This configuration is engineered specifically for the UK market and facilitates substantially more operational cycles per day, making it ideal for medium-to-high use, heavy-duty commercial environments.
Advantages of Direct-Drive Technology:
- Significantly fewer moving components than traditional chain-driven or belt-driven alternatives
- Measurably reduced long-term wear and tear
- Motor power transfers directly to the roller door barrel via the shortest mechanical pathway
- Maximises operational efficiency across the largest door sizes
- Inherently quieter in operation
- More reliable performance in high-cycle environments
- Smooth, consistent performance on every cycle
The 415V three-phase supply provides consistent power delivery and is standard in UK commercial premises. This motor configuration ensures the most efficient energy transfer and optimal mechanical performance on every cycle.
Installation and Operational Constraints
Direct-drive 415V motor roller shutters are exclusively available in an outboard motor configuration. Installers and building managers must ensure adequate sideroom is available at one end of the door structure to accommodate the motor assembly. This is a fixed requirement and should be verified during the survey and specification phase to prevent installation complications.
Material Specification and Durability
The curtain utilises a single-skin galvanised steel construction with a 75mm scrolled lath design fabricated from 18-gauge steel. Both the side guides and endplates are manufactured from galvanised steel, providing consistent corrosion resistance and durability across all components.
Galvanised finish offers protection against rust and degradation in typical UK commercial environments, including properties exposed to moisture, salt air (relevant for coastal locations), and industrial atmospheres. The galvanised construction ensures the door maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appearance over extended service life, with minimal maintenance requirements beyond standar
Applications & Typical Use
Ideal Applications for the SecEuroDoor SR2 Roller Shutter
The SeceuroDoor is designed for any industrial or commercial building where medium-frequency operation is required—typically 30 to 60 operations per day or less. This makes it the perfect solution for:
- Retail warehouses and distribution centres
- Manufacturing facilities with controlled access points
- Commercial office buildings with secure loading bays
- Leisure facilities requiring periodic secure closure
- Storage facilities with moderate daily access requirements
- Industrial units with standard operational hours
Certified Security Protection
If security is important to you, this LPS 1175 SR2 certified door provides independently verified protection against determined attack. The certification ensures your investment meets insurance requirements and provides peace of mind that your premises are protected to a recognised UK standard.
Higher Usage Requirements
We can specify this door with a higher-rated motor if more operations per day are required. Direct-drive three-phase motors offer the potential for an upgrade to high-usage motors, with even 24-hour continuous use possible for demanding applications such as:
- 24/7 logistics and distribution operations
- High-frequency retail loading bays
- Multi-shift manufacturing facilities
- Emergency service facilities requiring constant availability

Emergency Manual Override System
Curtain Construction
This industrial traditional build roller shutter uses an 18-gauge galvanised steel single-skin curtain with a 75mm scrolled lath profile. The galvanised steel construction provides robust corrosion resistance and durability as standard, with various colour finish options available to suit your aesthetic requirements.
⚠️ Critical Installation Requirement for SR2 Certification
THIS ROLLER SHUTTER DOOR MUST BE FACE-FITTED INTERNALLY TO COMPLY AND ACHIEVE THE CERTIFICATION FOR THE SR2 RATING. The guides and complete roll of the curtain must be completely behind the structural opening and not visible from outside. If you choose to fit in-between or externally, then the certification compliance is not possible.
Electric Motor and Control Systems
The electric direct-drive three-phase GfA 415V motor can be controlled by two main methods, each suited to different operational requirements:
Option 1: Internal Push Button Station (Hold-to-Run)
The most basic method is an internal wall-mounted push button station with hold-to-run logic. The operator stands and holds the button firmly for the duration of the opening or closing cycle. With this configuration, no safety edge or beam systems are legally required, keeping costs to a minimum. Please note: you must be able to enter the building via another door for this method to be practical.
Option 2: Wall-Mounted Control Panel (Impulse Operation)
The second option is a wall-mounted control panel which can be programmed for impulse operation, meaning you simply push the up or down button momentarily and the door will auto-operate. This system has safety edge detection built into the bottom T-rail section to stop if an obstacle is encountered, providing enhanced safety and convenience.
Colour and Finish Options
This roller door is available with the curtain pre-finished in multiple coating options to suit your building's aesthetic and environmental requirements:
- Powder Coat Finish: Same colour on both sides of the slat, providing consistent appearance and enhanced durability
- Plastisol Coated External Finish: Durable external coating with a standard off-white internal paint finish
- Natural Galvanised Steel: The curtain can be supplied in its natural galvanised steel finish as standard—a popular choice depending on the roller door location and application
We can offer the door in special colours beyond those shown in our online shop options. You can also mix and match the guides, hood cover, and curtain finishes if required. Please email or call for details and pricing on bespoke colour specifications.
