How LPS 1175 high-security shutters work, and what to ask for

Older Issue 7 ratings ran from SR1 to SR8; roughly, SR1 corresponds to A1, SR2 to B3 and SR3 to C5. LPS 1175 is a security standard from the Loss Prevention Certification Board, part of BRE.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
  • STS 202 and BS EN 1627 products on request
  • Certificate reference provided with your quote
  • Electric operation with override
  • Installed as tested to keep the rating valid
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Questions about LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Durham

Do you cover Durham?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Durham. We also cover nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.

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.

Do you hold LPCB certification?

The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested shutter, not to us. We supply certified products, give you the certificate reference with the quote, and install them to the tested specification.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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