LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Argyll & Bute: the essentials

Other test standards such as STS 202 and BS EN 1627 are also used, and we can source products to the one you need. The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so it must be installed exactly as tested to keep its rating. Your insurer may name a minimum rating in your policy, so check the schedule before choosing a product.

The LPCB publishes a list of certified products, called the Red Book, so a rating can be checked independently. Rated shutters are used on pharmacies, jewellers, phone shops, plant rooms and critical infrastructure.

Options we can specify

  • Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
  • Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
  • Installed as tested to keep the rating valid
  • Electric operation with override
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
  • STS 202 and BS EN 1627 products on request

Covering Argyll & Bute

We cover Argyll & Bute from Helensburgh to Oban and Dunoon, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Scotland

Rated security products

LPS 1175 certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We give you the certificate reference with your quote and install the shutter to the tested specification. We do not hold or claim certification ourselves.

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Your questions answered

What does an LPS 1175 rating like B3 mean?

In Issue 8, the letter is the threat level, meaning the tools and number of attackers the product was tested against, and the number is the minimum delay in minutes. B3 means threat level B with at least three minutes' delay.

Does my insurer need a rated shutter?

Some policies specify a minimum rating for certain trades or stock values. Check your policy schedule, or send it to us and we will match the product to it.

Is SR2 the same as B3?

The two systems are different, but as a rough guide SR1 corresponds to A1, SR2 to B3 and SR3 to C5. Your insurer's wording tells you which version they require.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
