The Advantages of Rolling Shutter Industrial Doors

Installation

• Roller shutter doors are easier to install than other door systems. Roller shutter doors do not require motorized tracks, and businesses often opt to install the doors themselves and avoid the additional cost of professional installation. More advanced roller shutter door systems that operate on motors or have built-in security systems require professional installation, but the cost of the door is still relatively inexpensive.

Security

• Roller shutter doors are preferred by warehouses and businesses because they offer an advanced level of security against intruders. A traditional door can be picked or kicked in, but roller doors are often the size of an entire wall and much more difficult to penetrate. Most roller shutter doors are equipped with an automatic locking system so that the door secures as soon as it is closed, but secondary locking systems using lockable chains or sliding bolts are also options for added security.

Size

• Roller shutter doors combine an ability to cover a wide opening without taking up additional space when the door is opened. Roller shutter doors are routinely manufactured large enough to allow trucks or other large equipment in and out of the space, but the doors roll conveniently against the ceiling above the door frame and do not require additional floor space to open or close.

Customization

• Standard roller shutter doors are finished in a simple brushed stainless steel, but manufacturers offer several levels of customization for more personalized doors. Roller shutter doors can be finished in several paint colors, and more visually appealing grid style doors are available for store fronts.
