- Anti-lift bottom rail with bolts
- Alarm and access control integration
Security roller shutter doors in Centurion are bought after something has happened, or by people who have decided not to wait. Either way the real question is what actually stops entry, and the answer is guide depth, bottom rail construction, end locking and how the assembly is fixed to the building. Everything else is finish.
How we build a security roller shutter door
- Interlocking steel slats in a gauge chosen for the opening rather than a nominal one.
- Deep guide channels so the curtain cannot be levered out at the edge.
- Reinforced bottom rail with proper locking points instead of a single centre catch.
- End locks on the slats so the curtain cannot be pushed sideways.
- Structural fixings anchored into something that will hold, checked at survey.
Security shutters for Centurion homes
Residential work through Eldoraigne, Wierdapark, Highveld, Amberfield, Thatchfield, Rooihuiskraal and Irene is mostly patio and stacking door openings, garages and side entrances. Fitted properly, a shutter closes an opening that burglar bars only complicate, and it does it without turning the house into a cage during the day.
Shutters in estates with architectural rules
Midstream, Southdowns, Cornwall Hill, Copperleaf and Blue Valley control what may be seen from the street. We build to the approved colour and profile, keep the box inside the reveal, and supply the written specification for the architectural committee before manufacture, so nothing has to come down again.
Security shutters for shops and business premises
Trading premises at the centres and along the Jean Avenue and Hennopspark strips take solid or perforated curtains depending on whether the window has to work at night. Both are built to the same locking and guide specification; the difference is visibility, not strength.
Manual or motorised security shutters
Motorised shutters get used. Heavy manual shutters get left open, which is a security decision made by inconvenience. Where we motorise, the motor has a locking position so the curtain cannot be pushed up when closed, and a manual release for outages.
Where security shutters are weakest
The fixing. A strong curtain on a poorly anchored guide is a strong curtain on the ground. In Centurion this deserves more attention than in most places, because on dolomitic ground the wall the guide is going into may have moved or cracked. We check it at survey and quote the correct fixing rather than hoping.
Finishes that suit the building
Powder-coated finishes in the colour of the frame or the wall make a shutter disappear when it is open. On the newer Centurion housing that usually means matching the aluminium window frames rather than the wall.
What a security roller shutter door costs in Centurion
Priced on opening size, slat specification, finish and whether it is motorised. The survey is free and it is what makes the price firm.
