How Do Roller Shutter Doors Work?

Consisting of interlocking slats which form a continuous structure, roller shutter raise and lower themselves via a revolving barrel. A bottom rail is then fitted on to the curtain to not only provide extra strength but also allow room for the fitting of handles, locking devices and or safety equipment. To ensure no sideways movement, the roller shutters curtain is placed into guides along the sides of the structure, which allows the door to move freely and safely in its opening, and is then enclosed in a canopy hood above the structure when open.

Roller shutters can be protected from wind damage in prone areas with the use of wind anchors, preventing roller shutter curtains from being blown out and possibly damaged in high wind prone and open areas such as airports.
