Windlocked Roller Shutters

Windlocked Roller Shutters

For any roller shutter you install, consider the added advantages of a windlocking mechanism to help further safeguard it when closed. In tempest conditions, even strong building materials can get caught up and blown by high winds. In situations and locations where extreme wind and weather conditions are possible or likely, the windlock is a viable safeguard to keep shutters firmly closed.

Why Choose Windlocked Roller Shutters?

When it comes to finding the right option for protection and strength Windlocked Roller Shutters have you covered.

These shutters are also among the strongest and most robust of our product range with increased resistance to forced entry. Their construction makes them almost impossible to penetrate, providing peace of mind in that your property is secure from undesired intruders.

With the noise reduction abilities, our Roller Shutters can also create peace and quiet if desired for your space too.

The design can be tailored to suit your preferences and provide a perfect balance between ease of use, safety and a beautiful modern look.

The Australian military have used our windlocked roller shutters to successfully hold tight, tarmac constructions exposed to the high wind strength of large helicopters and aircraft landing and taking off. As seen in this video, the windlocks firmly hold doors that could otherwise be blown in by the force of winds.

When constructing our windlocked roller shutters, Able Doors use a specially designed locking mechanism, along with curtain guides and steel end clips that interlock and hook together for superior strength and hold.
