Benefits Of Roller Shutter Doors
Today the crime rate is increasing with criminals finding new ways to force entry into properties. Breaking into shops and homes has always been a common crime throughout the UK. While shop owners are installing security cameras to help deter intruders, the latter have become tech-savvy and know how to disable these cameras or will simply hide their faces. Additionally, security cameras might be unaffordable for middle and small scale business owners.
Shop owners who cannot afford expensive security installations to protect their property have resorted to using shop front roller shutters. Shop front shutters come in various varieties and can be custom-made to suit one’s preferences. Shutter doors can either be built-on or built-in. A built-in one is installed on a lintel, with the shutter-box not being visible while a built-on one does not have a lintel and is installed in the shop’s exterior, with the shutter box being visible.
Below are some common features of a shutter door.
- Steel bearing, with a nylon coating in a top hung system
- The lattice assembly installs around or within the plain sight of visibility
- A two-point locking system operated by a single key
- An overlapping locking profile
- A lattice assembly system that has been joined using steel rivets.
These features give shutter doors the following benefits.
