The Safeguard 76 and 100 Roller Shutter can be operated manually or electrically, depending on your needs. Manual operation is available via a hand chain, assisted by reduction gearing and mechanical springs housed within the barrel. This includes a safety brake as standard. Electric options include a 3-phase 415v Safedrive motor with an integRAL safety brake and a 60% duty rating, or a single-phase 240v tube motor, which also comes with a safety brake.
Safeguard 76 - The curtain is constructed from 76mm deep, galvanised cold-rolled concave sections of steel, tailored to the required gauge for strength and durability.
Safeguard 100 - The curtain is constructed from 100mm deep, galvanised cold-rolled flat sections of steel, tailored to the required gauge for strength and durability.
Each alternate lath is fitted with endlocks to prevent lateral movement, while wind anchor s are incorporated on larger shutters. Perforated versions are available, featuring micro circular holes to allow ventilation without compromising security.
At the base of the curtain, a robust steel angle reinforcing rail is fitted to form an inverted ‘T’ shape. This reinforcement adds stability and ensures a tight seal when the shutter is closed.
Side guides are formed from cold-rolled mild steel channel sections, fixed securely to the structure with full-height mild steel fixing angles. These guides ensure the smooth and stable operation of the shutter curtain.
The roller assembly is built from a mild steel tube fitted with high-tensile helical counterbalance springs, mounted on bright steel shafts running in ball races. Where required, machine-cut steel gears or chain drives are included to suit the size and weight of the shutter opening, ensuring reliable and balanced operation every time.

When considering the installation of a new industrial door, it is important to take into account various factors. Firstly, the location of the door is crucial in determining the level of security and insulation required. The frequency of use should also be considered, as a heavily used industrial door may need to be more durable and robust.
Additionally, security needs must be taken into account, with options such as integrated access features like a roller shutter with a wicket door available. Our team of experts can provide advice on the most suitable product configuration for your specific site and usage requirements, ensuring that you choose the best industrial door for your needs.
The primary distinction among the various types lies in their method of installation. Top-mounted shutters are positioned directly above the window frame and are installed collectively within the opening. Consequently, they integrate seamlessly into the facade.
In contrast, mounted roller shutters are installed externally to the window, rendering the shutter box visible. With an array of models and customisation possibilities available, we are able to provide the exact size and style that will enhance the aesthetic of your windows and home.
When it comes to maintaining and cleaning industrial external shutters, there are a few key steps to follow. Firstly, regularly inspect the shutters for any signs of damage or wear and tear, such as cracks or chips in the paint. If any issues are found, they should be promptly repaired to prevent further damage.
Additionally, it is important to clean the shutters regularly to remove dirt, dust, and grime. This can be done using a mild detergent and water, along with a soft brush or cloth to scrub away any stubborn dirt, though we’d always recommend employing a professional cleaning service to get the highest quality clean. Once the shutters are clean, they can be dried with a clean cloth to prevent water stains.
Taking these steps to maintain and clean industrial external shutters will ensure they remain in good condition and continue to function effectively for years to come. Get in touch with A&C Maintenance to discuss our maintenance services for new or existing external shutters.
Manual shutters are a practical choice for smaller openings or locations without access to electric power. They offer a traditional, straightforward operation that can be easily managed by hand. However, for larger apertures or areas where frequent use is anticipated, electric roller shutters with tube or 3-phase motors are a more convenient option. These shutters provide enhanced ease of use, faster operation, and improved safety features. With just the touch of a button, these electric shutters can be effortlessly raised or lowered, offering a modern and efficient solution for securing properties.
