How to choose

Vertical blinds for doors need to be selected with special care. It is necessary to pay attention to the main factors:

Blinds on plastic doors must be installed exactly in size in order to look aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the dimensions of the system.

Judge for yourself, if the attacker is given enough time, and even the right tool, sooner or later he will break any safe. So security shutters are a must must be equipped with an alarm system.

The differences in the systems lie in the way the mechanism is controlled, which can be:

• electrical;
• spring-inertial;
• manual (belt, end or collar).

Tips for use

When operating, just follow simple rules:

1. In case of difficulties when opening, the use of brute physical force is unacceptable, because this can only aggravate the situation and further damage the canvas.
2. For heavy structures (for example, garage door roller shutters), partial raising or lowering of the leaf is undesirable. This increases the load on the shaft and creates the risk of its destruction.
3. When freezing in winter, it is not recommended to spill hot water on the street ice. It is enough to tap the contour evenly.
4. When lowering the roller shutters, you must ensure that there are no foreign objects, people or animals in the path of their movement.
5. The appearance of an unusual odor or smoke requires immediate stopping of the electric drive and de-energizing the device.
6. Do not carry out any independent repair work during the warranty period. Unauthorized intervention in the system is grounds for denial of warranty service.

All this allows you to maintain the functional activity of the device, extend its service life and reliably protect the owner.

Design features

The designs of metal roller shutters and their plastic varieties - rafshtor - consist of the following mandatory elements:

1. A protective fabric made of hollow or filled with filler lamellas, fastened together with hooks.
2. The bearing shaft with which the blade moves.
3. The mechanism that drives the device.
4. The box where the shaft is located and the roll of canvas is placed.
5. Guide rails in which the ends of the lamellas are fixed.

Built-in roller shutters do not create problems during installation, ensuring the reliability of protective functions and without disturbing the appearance of the building, which is important when installing them on architectural monuments. A protruding box of overhead devices introduces dissonance into the decor of the facade and becomes a target for burglars. Therefore, it is made of durable steel (to protect the driving mechanism from moisture and dust) and painted in the color of the canvas or building so as not to attract the attention of strangers.

Anti-vandal iron bars on which the canvas moves are also made of durable metal and are reliably strengthened to protect the building from penetration.
