If you are considering fitting roller shutters to your
business premises, then you may think that there is not a lot to think about!
You probably just have a picture in your mind of some silver looking shutters
which are going to keep people out of your building right? Well there is a lot
more to consider when you decide to go for some metal doors on your windows.
Obviously, the main reason for purchasing the shutters is
for protection against burglary, however, some shutters are purchased with
weather conditions in mind. In the UK, a lot of shutters are purchased in
hurricane or tornado areas in the Midwest.
If you are purely purchasing for security purposes, then you
want to get a roller which is of a sturdy material such as steel or aluminum.
Also try to see examples of previous doors fitted by the company which you are
considering buying from. A few potential pitfalls to watch out for can be
rollers not fitting snugly against the tracks - this can be an area where using
force, a door could be compromised.
Whichever level of security you choose, you will have to
consider additional factors.
1) Is the door you are thinking about extremely heavy? If
so, then you may need to go for an electric motor as well to aid you in moving
the door.
2) Is the door light enough for a torsion spring? If your
door is on the lighter side, you may be able to get away with a manual system
of opening the door
3) Do you close your business or shop at night with 2
people? If you have somebody to help you, you may even be able to use the
cheapest version of security shutters which are manually lifted into pace by 2
people and locked into position.
electric shutters can be attached to the outside of your
windows, as is done commonly or can be attached to your doors, in the case of
warehouses and offices. You get them in a variety of sizes and therefore
anything from a window to a garage door can be covered.
