Why are there so many different Security Shutter types?
The various shutter types are to cater for different sizes and also different levels of security requirements
Samson Doors provide one of the widest range of high quality security shutters and grilles anywhere in the UK and the different types available are for so many different reasons depending on your requirements. For example the basic Seceuroscreen 1500 is a lightweight aluminium foam filled security shutter used mainly for low security risk applications as well as bar and serving hatches and more often used for insulation against sound and heat too. The security provided is OK but the shutter would not stand up to a determined attack with tools. The Seceuroshield 3801 however is a double skinned extruded aluminium slat construction and has been tested to level 1 'secured by design' and is ideal for higher risk applications such as exposed properties without occupants. The shutter will resist aggressive attacks and in small sizes is incredibly strong and solid.
Obviously the price differences can be quite large between perceived security and actual security and we always make people aware that although you may see lower prices sometimes for security shutters you really do need to be sure they are going to give you the security you expect, this included the locking mechanism and the type of guides used as well.
Security shutters can also only be as secure as the weakest fixing point and on some buildings and structures fixing can be a problem and extra steel work may be required to ensure the products work effectively. Samson Doors always try to specify the very best shutter or grille for the application and do not just supply and install shutters for the sake of taking an order.
