What you get

The shutter box, guides and bottom rail are sized to the opening and fixed to sound structure. Insurers often specify a lock type or rating, so we confirm their wording before ordering. Finish and colour are chosen to suit the street as well as the level of security needed.

Why Shopfront Shutters

Security is about the whole opening, not just the curtain. We look at the fixings, the lock position, the power supply for electric operation and how your insurer wants the premises secured before we price anything.
