Related Products
For enhanced security requiring insurance approval, consider upgrading to the SeceuroGuard 1001, independently tested and certified to Loss Prevention Standard LPS 1175 Security Rating 1.
Smaller grilles are simple to handle and install generally and it is only when the sizes and weights exceed a single person handling that you require 2 or more people to assist and manouvre the components into place.
For optimal performance and warranty compliance, we strongly recommend professional installation by qualified security grille installers or tradesmen used to installing doors, windows and other products requiring associated skills. SeceuroGuard grilles require precise measurement, secure substrate fixing, and correct assembly—particularly for the SR1 rated SeceuroGuard 1001 model where LPS 1175 certification validity depends on installation meeting LPCB requirements.
Installation Methods
The SeceuroGuard range offers three primary installation configurations to suit different architectural requirements:
- Face-Fixed with Bottom Track - Complete framework mounted to wall surface with floor-mounted bottom track
- Face-Fixed to Aperture - Framework fitted around opening perimeter with additional support profiles
- Reveal-Fixed Within Aperture - Compact installation within window or door recess
Ordering Dimensions - Critical Information
SeceuroGuard grilles are always ordered using Overall Width and Overall Height measurements that include the complete framework and sash assembly.
Pre-Installation Requirements
Essential Tools & Equipment:
- Spirit level and measuring tape
- Hammer drill with appropriate masonry bits (for brick/block) or metal drill bits (for steel frames)
- Socket set and spanners
- Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead)
- Safety glasses and dust mask
- Stepladder or access platform
Installation Process Overview
- Verify opening dimensions match order specifications
- Check substrate condition and load-bearing capacity
- Ensure adequate clearance for sash operation and bunch width (approximately 15% of overall width)
- Clear the work area and protect flooring/surfaces
- Unpack all components and verify against delivery note
- Pre-assemble track sections if supplied in multiple pieces (widths over 4000mm)
- Check all fixings, brackets, and components are present
- Position top track using temporary supports
- Use spirit level to ensure perfect horizontal alignment—critical for smooth operation
- Mark all fixing positions through pre-drilled holes in framework
- For face-fixed installations, ensure fixing frame is plumb and square
- Drill pilot holes to correct depth for substrate type
- Install fixings progressively, checking alignment after each fixing
- Torque fixings to manufacturer's specifications—avoid over-tightening
- Ensure minimum fixing centres are maintained (typically 400-600mm)
- Attach sash carrier wheels to top track
- Guide lattice sash into track system
- For larger installations, sections may require on-site joining with provided fixings
- Install lock posts and slam posts according to configuration
- Adjust multi-point locking to ensure smooth engagement
- Test lock operation through full cycle
- Final Adjustments & Testing
- Check sash slides smoothly across full width
- Adjust carrier wheels if binding or resistance occurs

Installation Considerations
For SeceuroGuard 1001 SR1 Rated Installations:
- Must comply with LPS 1175 installation requirements
- All fixings must meet specified security standards
- Installation certificate may be required for insurance purposes
- Substrate must provide adequate resistance—certification is void if installation is compromised
Hinge-Aside & Folding Track Options:
Special installation procedures apply for optional configurations—refer to specific instructions provided with these options.
Common Installation Challenges:
- Out-of-Square Openings: May require packing or shimming—check diagonals before fixing
- Uneven Floors: Particularly affects bottom track alignment—may require floor preparation
- Restricted Access: Consider installation sequence for narrow doorways or difficult access
- Overlapping Windows/Doors: Plan sash stacking location to avoid operational conflicts
Post-Installation
