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

Where the structure around the opening is weak, it may need strengthening for the rating to mean anything in practice. Rated shutters are used on pharmacies, jewellers, phone shops, plant rooms and critical infrastructure.

Features to choose from

  • Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
  • Structural fixing checked at survey
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
  • Electric operation with override
  • Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
  • STS 202 and BS EN 1627 products on request

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

  2. Free survey

  3. Written fixed price

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

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

Questions about LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Folkestone

Do you cover Folkestone?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Folkestone and the CT19 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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 your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

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.
