Are Roller Shutters Secure?
Roller shutters are a deterrent, we can not say NEVER, but in our 31 years of business we haven’t had any one gain entry through a roller shutter. You can always add a bottom bar lock to your roller shutters for extra piece of mind, this will lock the shutter down and be opened with a key.
