SeceuroShield 3801 | Insurance Approved Security Shutter
The SeceuroShield 3801 is a high-security shutter designed to remove the guesswork from protecting your property. Independently tested and approved to LPS 1175 Security Rating 1 (SR1), it provides a certified barrier against physical attack, ensuring your goods remain safe and criminals are kept out.
Combining a strong extruded aluminium construction with a compact design, the 3801 offers an "Insurance Approved" solution without compromising on aesthetics—making it the ideal choice for high-value retail, business premises, and domestic properties requiring above-average protection.
Certified Security & Testing
LPS 1175 SR1 Approval
Appearance may suggest security, but the SeceuroShield 3801 carries the independent stamp of compliance that insurers, police, and specifiers demand. Passing the test regime of the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) is a tough process.
- Tested Resistance: Under stringent conditions, the 3801 is subjected to assaults from tools commonly used for vandalism and breaking and entering. Its successful certification is the only meaningful benchmark for gauging actual resistance in the face of a determined attack.
- Quality Assurance: Approval is based not just on the product, but on the manufacturer’s quality management systems (ISO 9002), ensuring consistent performance.
Secured by Design (Police Preferred Specification)
As a further reinforcement of its performance, the SeceuroShield 3801 has successfully undergone evaluation by the UK Police flagship initiative, Secured by Design. This "Police Preferred Specification" mark identifies technical standards that actively reduce crime, confirming the product's resistance to criminal attack.
High-Security Features
To achieve its SR1 rating, the SeceuroShield 3801 incorporates specific security upgrades over standard shutters:
- Reinforced Hardware: The extruded aluminium bottom slat is reinforced with a steel angle, and the bottom section of the shutter box is riveted post-installation to prevent tampering.
- High-Security Guides: Uses the H40/S guide rail (70mm wide x 27mm deep), constructed from extruded aluminium with a steel reinforcement plate at the base.
- Anti-Vandal Wind Locks: The curtain slats are fitted with wind end locks as standard, preventing the curtain from being forced out of the guides.
- Mandatory Locking: The shutter locks automatically at the top when fully lowered. For the SR1 rating, it must also be secured with either a lock in the bottom slat or a pair of bullet locks attached to the guide rails.
Aesthetics for Retail & Business
Despite its formidable strength, the SeceuroShield 3801 offers a low visual impact, which is a key requirement for retail outlets and modern offices.
- Compact Design: The 38mm double-walled extruded aluminium slat coils very tightly, allowing for smaller shutter boxes (165mm–250mm) that minimize visual presence on the building facade.
- Stock Colours: The curtain slats are available in four standard colours at no extra cost:
- White (RAL 9016)
- Brown (RAL 8014)
- Cream (RAL 1015)
- Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016)
- Custom Finishes: To match your business branding, the shutter and guide rails can be powder coated to alternative RAL or BS colours at a moderate extra cost.
Technical Specification
- Slat Description: Double-skin extruded aluminium non-vented slat.
- Dimensions: Nominally 38mm high x 9mm thick.
- Weight: Approximately 8kg per square metre.
- Guide Rails: H40/S High Security rails (70mm x 27mm) with 5mm brush seals and steel reinforcement.
The SeceuroShield 3801 is the definitive choice for locations where verified security is non-negotiable. By achieving the LPS 1175 SR1 rating, it satisfies the requirements of many insurance policies and architectural specifications, making it suitable for high-risk and high-value environments.
Retail & High Street
Retailers facing the threat of "smash and grab" or forced entry need a shutter that can withstand physical attack without looking industrial.
- High-Value Goods: Ideal for jewellers, electronics stores, and designer boutiques where insurance companies often mandate an LPCB-rated shutter.
- Visual Appeal: The compact box and high-quality finish allow it to blend with modern shopfronts, providing robust protection at night while remaining unobtrusive during the day.
Commercial & Public Sector
Business premises often require documented security standards to meet risk assessment criteria.
- Offices & IT Suites: Protects ground-floor windows and server rooms containing expensive equipment and sensitive data.
- Schools & Healthcare: The "Secured by Design" accreditation makes the 3801 a preferred specification for new school builds, medical centres, and pharmacies where public safety and asset protection are paramount.
- Government Buildings: Meets the entry-level security requirements for many public sector specifications.
High-Security Domestic
For homeowners seeking the highest level of protection without compromising the look of their property.
- Vulnerable Homes: Perfect for secluded properties or those with a history of break-in attempts.
- Integrated Security: Can be installed on garages, workshops, or rear patio doors where standard shutters might not offer sufficient peace of mind.
Why Choose the 3801?
- Insurance Compliance: Installing an LPS 1175 rated product can often reduce insurance premiums or be a condition of coverage for high-risk contents.
- Proven Resistance: Unlike uncertified shutters, the 3801 has physically demonstrated its ability to withstand attack from common burglary tools in independent tests.
