LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Edinburgh & the Lothians: the essentials

Older Issue 7 ratings ran from SR1 to SR8; roughly, SR1 corresponds to A1, SR2 to B3 and SR3 to C5. Rated shutters are used on pharmacies, jewellers, phone shops, plant rooms and critical infrastructure. The LPCB publishes a list of certified products, called the Red Book, so a rating can be checked independently.

The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so it must be installed exactly as tested to keep its rating. LPS 1175 is a security standard from the Loss Prevention Certification Board, part of BRE.

Options we can specify

  • Structural fixing checked at survey
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
  • Electric operation with override
  • Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
  • Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
  • Certificate reference provided with your quote

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.

LPS 1175 high-security shutters: common questions

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.

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 the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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