Choosing LPS 1175 high-security shutters for premises in Cumbria
The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so it must be installed exactly as tested to keep its rating. Older Issue 7 ratings ran from SR1 to SR8; roughly, SR1 corresponds to A1, SR2 to B3 and SR3 to C5. Higher ratings mean heavier curtains, stronger guides and locking, and fixings into suitable structure.
Issue 8 ratings combine a letter for the tools and attackers tested against with a number for the minimum delay in minutes, such as B3 or C5. The LPCB publishes a list of certified products, called the Red Book, so a rating can be checked independently.
What's included
- Installed as tested to keep the rating valid
- Certificate reference provided with your quote
- Electric operation with override
- Structural fixing checked at survey
- Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
- Reinforced guides, curtain and locking

Rules in England
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 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.
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 homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Questions about LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Cumbria
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.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
