A new SR5 rated security shutter from Gilgen Door Systems was on display for the first time at the Security and Counter Terror Show (SCTX), London Olympia, in April 2016. The Rolegard SR5-B is the first LPS1175 SR5 rated security shutter to be launched with a certified Ballistics rating, the UK firm reports.
Designed to help protect facilities against hostile incursion and swarm attack, SR5-B combines the highest physical attack standard achieved in a security shutter with ballistics and blast protection properties, the makers say. To achieve its security rating the shutter was tested to LPS1175, issue 7, level 5 using a range of attack methods including use of high end power tools. The FB3 and FB4 ballistics ratings were achieved after tests to satisfy the requirements of the British Standard BS EN1522:1999, the manufacturer adds.
Roger Massey, Marketing Manager of Gilgen Door Systems, says: “The ability of SR5-B to mitigate combined attack methods is an important advantage in today’s extremely challenging security environment where facilities need protection from a range of developing threats.”
SR5-B also features a newly tested Automatic Self Locking (ASL) system designed to ‘lock down’ facilities without the need for secondary locks. Designed by Gilgen’s product development team, the ASL system helps to improve protocol and prevents the lifting and jacking of the shutter in the closed position. Visit www.gilgendoorsystems.co.uk.
