What to know about LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Somerset

LPS 1175 is a security standard from the Loss Prevention Certification Board, part of BRE. Where the structure around the opening is weak, it may need strengthening for the rating to mean anything in practice. Other test standards such as STS 202 and BS EN 1627 are also used, and we can source products to the one you need.

Rated shutters are used on pharmacies, jewellers, phone shops, plant rooms and critical infrastructure. Older Issue 7 ratings ran from SR1 to SR8; roughly, SR1 corresponds to A1, SR2 to B3 and SR3 to C5.

Features to choose from

  • Structural fixing checked at survey
  • Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
  • STS 202 and BS EN 1627 products on request
  • Electric operation with override
  • Certificate reference provided with your quote

Covering Somerset

We cover Somerset from Bath to Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and Yeovil, with 10 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

LPS 1175 high-security shutters: common questions

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.

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.

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.
