Here is how fast motorized security shutters move, the ways you can open them, and the locks that fit manual and motorized shutters.
Speed and Controls
How fast do motorized security shutters open and close?
You can open these motorized security shutters at about 6 inches per second. They have a steady speed that guarantees smooth and quiet operation while giving the motor a long lifespan.
You can use a standard wall switch, a wireless remote, or a key switch to control them. Plus, you can easily open them without power with an emergency hand crank. Visit our security shutters page to see your preferred style.
Locking Options
What locking options are available for manual and motorized roll-up shutters?
How you operate the shutter depends on the lock.
- The built-in brake of the motor lock works alongside the motorized shutters or with the auto-locking slats that push lock bars into place when the shutter closes and pull them back when it rises.
- You can use bottom bar slide locks, double key locks, or thumb-turn cylinders for manual shutters.
You can access the openings on the emergency exit path with the code-compliant egress locks. You can make an inquiry about them when you request a quote on commercial roll-up storefront doors.
