Seceuroshield 38 Security Shutter

The SeceuroShield 38 extruded aluminium shutter is a security shutter for higher security domestic use and medium security applications for commercial, retail and counter/cabinet applications. It is available as a built-on or built-in shutter. The shutter construction is basically the same for either, with the difference being in the shutter roll cover and guides.

It benefits from a compact, but very strong extruded aluminium double-skinned curtain, which offers larger sizes with the smallest of curtain roll and hood enclosure sizes.

For applications up to 4000mm wide, when electrically operated it is a very versatile security shutter with a very strong construction and the neatest curtain roll diameter.

The Seceuroshield 38 security shutter is available as a very basic internal swivel or geared belt-driven manual operation, spring-assisted manual push up/pull down or rod crank operation, and the most popular electric operation with a large choice of access control devices such as keyswitches, pushbuttons, radio controls, etc. This flexibility means it can be configured perfectly for anything from a single domestic window to a run of commercial shutters on a busy high street, without compromising on everyday ease of use.

SHUTTER CONSTRUCTION

Curtain Slat
The SeceuroShield 38 uses a double-skin, extruded, aluminium slat prefinished in a range of standard high-quality polyester powdercoated finishes, but is also available in almost any RAL or BS colour to suit. It is 38mm deep and 9mm thick with a nominal weight of 8kg/sq.m. The robust double-walled profile delivers reliable, long-term security performance while keeping the curtain compact when rolled up.

Bottom Slat
Extruded aluminium 60mm deep slat with reinforcing angle. Available with rubber in place of reinforcing angle as a no-cost option. This ensures a neat, durable bottom edge against the floor or cill and can improve sealing and noise reduction where required.

Shutter Box (Hood Cover)
Die-cast aluminium end plates with two-piece roll-formed aluminium casing with sizes starting at only 165mm square. Larger size boxes will be supplied with zinc-plated steel end plates. The compact hood keeps the installation discreet and attractive, which is especially important on domestic properties and shopfronts where appearance matters as much as security.

Guide Rails
Extruded aluminium with end box section for fixing and reinforcement and high-density 6mm pile brush seals. H30 guide profile as standard, H17 and H25 are available on request, and the high-security H40/S guide is available at extra cost. The guide options allow the system to be tailored to the level of security, exposure and wind loading required for each project.

Stock Colours

The Seceuroshield 38 curtain slat is stocked in white (RAL9010), black (RAL 9005), brown (RAL8014), cream (RAL1015) and anthracite grey (RAL7016), but can be powdercoated to almost any RAL or BS colour at extra cost. The guides, bottom slat and box cover are stocked in white or brown as standard, but will usually be powdercoated to match your chosen curtain colour at minimal or no extra cost. This enables you to coordinate the shutter with windows, doors and existing colour schemes rather than accepting a compromise finish.

SHUTTER OPERATION METHODS...

Swivel/Geared Belt Shutters are raised and lowered from inside by a belt.
Depending upon shutter size, the belt is operated manually or by a geared crank handle. This is a lower security option and is best suited to smaller internal openings where ease of operation and low cost are the main priorities.

Rod Crank Shutters are raised and lowered from inside by a geared rod crank winding handle which hangs down vertically underneath the box and secures on a clip when not in use. This provides simple, reliable operation without the need for an electrical supply.

Spring Loaded Shutters for external operation on exit doors; shutters can be spring-loaded with a transverse key lock in the bottom slat. Also a popular option for bar, servery, counter, cabinet and kiosk applications. (N.B. The bottom slat projects below the shutter when fully raised, check that this will not obstruct outward-opening doors). This type of operation offers quick, intuitive manual use with secure locking directly into the guides.

Electric Motors are required on larger shutters and are optional on smaller shutters. Tubular barrel motors fit inside the shutter axle and require a 3 amp fuse and 240V supply. Operation is usually by rocker switch, key switch or remote control as standard, but other controls are available. A manual override can be specified to operate from inside in the event of a power supply failure. Where desirable, a manual override can also be engaged through the outside of an externally fitted shutter box. Under these circumstances, a lockable override cover is available as an optional extra to maximise security. Multi-shutter electric installations can be wired to operate from a central or group switch. Ask for further details. Care should be taken to ensure that such installations are in line with current Health and Safety Legislation. Electric operation is the most popular choice for convenience, particularly where shutters are used frequently or form part of a wider security system.

SECEUROSHIELD 38 BENEFITS

SHUTTERBOX DETAILS

The 3800 security shutters can be powder coated to alternative standard RAL or BS colours at extra cost and, should this be required, we would be pleased to prepare a quotation. For higher levels of security, the H40/S guide rail offers an increased specification to the standard guide rail and incorporates wind locks. These guide rails are available at extra cost to the standard guide rails. This allows the same shutter curtain to be used in more exposed or vulnerable locations without changing to a larger, heavier system.

INSTALLATION

SECURITY FEATURES:
Standard Samson security shutters lock automatically at the top when fully lowered. The bottom section of the shutterbox is riveted after installation. The fixing screwheads are rendered unusable and are concealed behind cover caps. Optional 30 x 20 angle can be fixed on to the cill. Together, these features make forced lifting and tampering far more difficult, increasing the overall deterrent effect of the shutter.

OPERATIONS FOR SECEUROSHIELD 38 BUILT-ON SHUTTERS:
The options priced are shown on your quotation, which also shows the method of operation we have included. This list shows possible options which would incur different costs.

SWIVEL BELT WINDER - for shutters up to 15kg:
The swivel winder coils the belt when it is pulled to open the shutter. The belt is 14mm wide and grey in colour. External shutters are supplied with a guide tube to protect the belt through the building wall. This is a cost-effective solution for small, internally operated shutters.

GEARED BELT WINDER - for shutters between 15kg and 25kg:
1:3 ratio with removable handle for belt-operated shutters. The gearing reduces effort, making it easier to move slightly larger shutters smoothly.

ROD CRANK OPERATION - for shutters up to 25kg:
Incorporates a geared rod crank handle 1500mm long which hangs vertically and secures into a clip when not in use. The gear is installed in the box; the gear ratio varies with shutter weight. This option again avoids the need for power while still providing controlled operation.

SPRING LOADED:
A counterbalance spring in the axle ensures controlled raising and lowering. An espagnolette keylock or shootbolts lock into the guide rails and are usually incorporated in the bottom slat. Final adjustment of the spring loading after installation is always required. This is an excellent choice for doors that need to be opened and closed quickly throughout the day.

ELECTRIC - recommended on shutters above 25kg. (N.B. minimum shutter width 750mm):
Electric operation is required on larger shutters due to the weight but is optional on smaller shutters.

OPERATION:
By tubular motor inside the axle. RTS motor option for remote control.

MOTORS:
Draw 240 volts and 0.5 - 2.5 amps dependent upon the shutter size.
Complete with integral limit switches and thermal cut-out to prevent overheating.
Complete with 2 metres of cable for connection.

CONTROL:
By momentary switch which must be held until the shutter reaches the desired position. (Std Samson spec.)

Provision of a 13 amp fused spur is required for installation. A manual override should be priced and ordered separately for shutters which are to be installed on exit doorways to permit operation in the event of a power failure. Additional control options such as key switches, group control and remote controls can be added to integrate the shutter into a wider security or automation system where required.

The Seceuroshield 38 is our most popular selling security shutter for its box size, strength of slat and diversity in specification and colour. It is a proven, long-term solution for customers who want a compact, discreet shutter without sacrificing security or reliability.
It is an ideal shutter for the majority of medium-sized door or window security applications.
