Extra High Security Roller Shutters

The MDS Industries Engineering High Security Shutter range provides a high level of security for the openings of any premises.

MDS Industries High Security Roller Shutters are manufactured fully in compliance with BS/EN 13241 and receive the appropriate LPS 1175 security accreditation according to the degree of protection that is required.

Each of our shutters is designed to protect you against one of the following:

SR1: Opportunist attack by bodily force using minimal tools (e.g. screwdriver, knife, pliers, etc)

SR2: More determined opportunist attack with tools of a higher mechanical advantage (e.g. SR1 tools plus bolt cutters, claw hammer, drill, etc).

SR3: Deliberate forced entry of protected premises using bodily force and a selection of attack options (e.g. SR2 tools plus short axe, chisels, crowbar, gas torch, etc).

SR4: Experience attempts at forced entry with higher tool levels (e.g. SR3 tools plus felling axe, sledgehammer, steel wedges, disc grinder, jigsaw, etc).
