Is your shop properly protected when the lights go out and the customers go home? Whilst more and more retail businesses are investing in digital security measures to keep their premises safe, retail shutters remain the best way to physically protect your premises at any time of the day or night. So, find out what makes these shop security shutters such an important investment for your business.
Retail Security Challenges
From small independent businesses to national chains, there are a number of challenges facing retailers across the UK, and one of the biggest is criminal activity. As of this year, shoplifting levels have now reached a 20-year high, and the biggest jump occurred last year when the number of offences jumped 30% from the previous year.
With these risks on the rise, it’s more important than ever for retailers to have the right security measures in place to protect their customers and employees, as well as their stock and products. By investing in a robust, custom-made security shutter from our range you can effectively deter criminal activity, reduce the risk of losses, and maintain a safe shopping experience for each and every customer, so let’s explore how our reliable shutters will benefit your business.
1. Provide Additional Security
With offences on the rise, our shop security shutters are designed and installed to create a strong physical barrier that prevents unauthorised entry outside of business hours. With varying security levels available, along with a galvanised finish to prevent rust and a 1 year warranty on all shutters, our range provides lasting protection that goes beyond standard locks and alarms.
By securing windows and doors with durable shop security shutters, retailers such as yourself will easily prevent criminals from accessing your premises and reduce the risk of losses or damage to your property. Our shutters are manufactured to withstand deliberate attempts to break-in and are tested to the highest standards, and all of our products are custom made to suit your premises and address any security challenges you are facing. So, whether you are looking for a small shutter to protect a small side opening, or large-scale protection for a loading bay, our bespoke shop-front shutters offer increased protection, safety and convenience for your premises.
2. Deter Criminal Activity
The only thing better than successfully protecting your business from a break-in is never having to worry about break-ins at all. Whilst our steel and aluminium shutters remain strong and reliable for years to come, they also serve as a powerful deterrent that discourages potential thieves and vandals from targeting your business.
The sight of custom-made, professionally fitted shutters signals that your store is well-protected, and the inclusion of cameras and alarms into this setup makes your premises less appealing to those with criminal intent. This preventative measure stops crime before it even starts and helps to maintain profitability and operational continuity without any threats to your operations.
3. Don’t Distract From Storefront
With our range you don’t have to make the choice between protecting your premises and maintaining an inviting storefront. With the choice of powder coating in a wide range of RAL/BS colours, you can customise your shutter to suit your premises and your existing branding for stylish and secure shop front coverage.
These security roller shutters are also available perforated or fully punched to allow for ongoing visibility without compromising their integrity or strength. This allows employees to continue operations inside the store whilst the shutters are down or to keep an eye on anything happening inside the store without having to open the shutters to check. This design also ensures that your storefront remains visible and inviting, even after hours, whilst keeping it protected and preventing forced entry.
4. Out of Hours Protection
If your shop is your pride and joy, you naturally want to make every effort to protect it – but what happens when you’re not there?
If you don’t have the capital to spare on hiring security guards, or even if you do, the one-off investment in a security shutter will protect against the huge loss of stock, productivity, and profitability that comes as a result of a break-in. By securing your premises outside of operational hours, our shop security shutters protect your business and keep your inventory safe even when you’re not there, so maintain the safety and continuity of your business with our range today.
5. Access Options
Our security solutions work for you, so whether you’re securing a single entrance or multiple access points, our operational systems are configured to suit your needs and improve your operations.
Available with single or multi-controlled operation capabilities, these shutters can be simultaneously managed across your premises, and remote operation is also available to allow you to control the shutters from anywhere on site. Our shutters can also be operated from either internal or external positions, so if you would like to install a keypad inside and require remote access from outside for added security, we are able to accommodate your requirements.
