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

The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so it must be installed exactly as tested to keep its rating. 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.

Rated shutters are used on pharmacies, jewellers, phone shops, plant rooms and critical infrastructure. LPS 1175 is a security standard from the Loss Prevention Certification Board, part of BRE.

Options we can specify

  • Installed as tested to keep the rating valid
  • Electric operation with override
  • Structural fixing checked at survey
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
  • Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
  • Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8

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. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Cowes

Do you cover Cowes?

Yes. Cowes (PO31) is within our Isle of Wight coverage, along with nearby Ryde, Gosport and Fareham.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

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.
