SeceuroShield 60 Manual | High-Security Commercial Shutter

The SeceuroShield 60 is a premium manually operated security shutter that combines exceptional strength with architectural style. Engineered for larger openings where rigidity is paramount, this system offers a robust physical barrier without the need for electric operation. It is the ideal choice for retail shop fronts, commercial offices, and high-risk properties requiring a reliable, easy-to-operate security solution.

Uncompromising Security & Construction

At the core of the SeceuroShield 60 is its formidable curtain construction. Unlike lighter foam-filled alternatives, this shutter features double-skinned, extruded aluminium slats. This design delivers superior resistance against attempted forced entry and vandalism.

• Slat Dimensions: Nominally 55mm high x 14mm thick, providing a dense and rigid curtain.
• High Strength: The extruded profile makes it significantly stronger than standard foam-filled slats, suitable for medium to high-security applications.
• Expanded Coverage: Designed as the larger counterpart to the SeceuroShield 38, the 60 profile allows for coverage of much wider spans—up to 4000mm in manual format (and 6000mm for electric models).

Effortless Manual Operation

Despite its heavy-duty construction, the SeceuroShield 60 is designed for smooth and manageable daily use.

• Spring Assisted: The mechanism utilises a counterbalance spring within the axle, allowing users to easily push up and pull down the shutter with minimal effort.
• Integrated Locking: Security is engaged via a heavy-duty lock housed within the reinforced bottom slat.
• Optional Security: For enhanced protection, bullet pin locks can be added to the guide rails on either side to firmly anchor the curtain when closed.

Aesthetics & Finish

The SeceuroShield 60 proves that high security does not need to look industrial. Its fine, precise surface detail and high-quality finish allow it to blend seamlessly with modern building facades.

• Standard Colours: Available in White, Black, Cream, and Brown.
• Custom Branding: Can be powder-coated to virtually any RAL or BS colour to match corporate branding or architectural features (surcharge applies).
• Neat Enclosure: A full aluminium curtain hood cover (box) is supplied as standard, featuring a chamfered lower front edge for a softer, more aesthetically pleasing profile.

• Box Sizes (Guide):
  • 205mm box: For openings up to 1595mm high.
  • 250mm box: For openings up to 2750mm high.
  • 300mm box: For openings up to 2900mm high.

Guide Rails

Extruded aluminium with integral box reinforcement and high-density pile brush seals (4mm or 7mm) for smooth operation.

• UPH 140: 60mm wide x 27mm deep (Standard with 205mm box).
• UPH 240: 75mm wide x 27mm deep (Standard with 250mm or 300mm box).
• UPH 250: 90mm wide x 34mm deep (Recommended for wider/higher security applications).

Operation & Control

Spring Loaded (Manual)

• Mechanism: A counterbalance spring contained within the axle ensures controlled lifting and lowering.
• Locking: Secured via an espagnolette key lock or shoot bolts engaged into the guide rails, typically integrated into the reinforced bottom slat.
• Adjustment: Final spring tension adjustment is required post-installation.

Electric Operation (Optional Upgrade)

Mandatory for shutters weighing over 25kg.

• Motor: High-quality tubular motor (240V, 0.5 - 2.5 Amps) with integral limit switches and thermal cut-out.
• Control: Standard momentary switch (hold-to-run). Upgradeable to remote or smart controls (Somfy) with required safety devices.
• Power: Requires a 13-amp fused spur.
• Manual Override: Recommended for exit doorways to allow operation during power failure.

Installation Requirements

• Guide Fixing: 3 fixings for lengths up to 1000mm; 5 fixings for lengths up to 2000mm.
• Box Fixing: Secured at each end plate. Shutters wider than 2000mm require additional fixings at 1000mm centres.
• Sealing: External installations require a silicone seal along the top of the box and down the sides of the guide rails to prevent water ingress.

Comprehensive installation instructions are provided with every SeceuroShield 60 shutter order. As this is a heavier-duty extruded aluminium shutter compared to foam-filled models, installation typically requires two people to ensure safe handling, particularly when lifting the curtain assembly into position.

Built-On Installation Methods

The "Built-On" design allows for two primary fixing methods depending on the structural opening and aesthetic requirements:

• Face Fix: The shutter box and guide rails are installed onto the wall surface above and wider than the opening. This maintains the full clear width and height of the aperture.
• Reveal Fix: The shutter is installed within the opening recess (reveal). The box fits under the lintel, and the guides fit between the jambs. Note: This method reduces the clear opening height and width.

General Fitting Guidelines (Spring Loaded Operation)

The manual SeceuroShield 60 typically uses a spring-loaded mechanism for ease of lifting. The installation process generally follows these steps:

1. Preparation & Drilling:
   • Check the opening dimensions against the shutter size.
   • Drill fixing holes in the guide rails (typically 7mm pilot with 13mm clearance for caps), spaced 250mm from top/bottom and at ~1000mm intervals.
   • If face fixing, ensure the surface is flat and solid to support the heavier extruded curtain.
2. Frame Assembly:
   • Slot the box end plate lugs into the top of the guide rails.
   • Position the entire frame (box and guides) against the opening (Face Fix) or into the reveal (Reveal Fix).
   • Ensure the guides are vertical (plumb) and the box is level before fixing the guides securely to the wall.
   • For added stability on wider shutters, fix the end plates directly to the lintel or wall.
3. Tensioning the Spring (Crucial Step):
   • The spring inside the axle counterbalances the curtain weight.
   • Pre-tensioning: Rotate the axle in the "down" direction to apply the specified number of turns (indicated in the specific instructions provided) before attaching the curtain.
   • Locking the Axle: Once tensioned, insert a pin or locking tool to hold the axle in place while you load the curtain.
4. Curtain Installation:
   • Carefully lift the rolled curtain and feed the top slat over the axle.
   • Feed the curtain down into the guide rails.
   • Attach the top of the curtain to the axle using the suspension springs or locking straps provided.
5. Final Adjustments:
   • Release the axle locking pin carefully.
   • Test the operation: The curtain should lift and lower smoothly and hold its position at the top and bottom.
   • Adjust spring tension if the shutter is too heavy to lift (add tension) or won't stay down (reduce tension).
   • Fit the box lid and guide rail caps to complete the installation.

Safety Note: Spring-loaded shutters are under tension. Always follow the specific turns chart provided with your product and use appropriate tools to avoid injury during tensioning.
