Security roller shutter doors are a physical barrier that protect buildings from unauthorised entry. They are used in all types of installations such as residential properties, commercial buildings, retail outlets, warehouses, critical national infrastructure, storage facilities, distribution centers, and garages.

The shutters are made of durable materials like steel or aluminium which run up and down tracks on either side of the opening. They can be electronically or manually operated with a range of options depending on product, size & application. Some models even have smart features that allow them to be controlled from a smart phone.
