Steel Shutters

Steel shutters are extremely resistant to damage by vandalism or theft attempts. These shutters are the best choice for outdoor service counters and booths. Frequently Asked Questions What safety features come standard on the FireStar® 540 fire shutter?
The FireStar® 540 includes a Waynegard® release system and an easy-to-use release handle, so facility staff can test the shutter periodically with no tools or special skills. A planetary gear arrangement disconnects the door from the operator and drops it automatically in a fire event. Optional add-ons include horns and strobes, a smoke detector, a safety edge (electrical or pneumatic), a smoke seal, and Vision FireLites® windows.
