See-through security shutters are transforming retail spaces by offering a mix of protection and practicality. While traditional shutters focus solely on securing storefronts, see-through options also boost visibility and aesthetic appeal. These modern shutters are ideal for businesses that want to maintain an attractive storefront while ensuring their merchandise and property remain safe. Explore the many benefits of see-through security shutters, from robust protection to enhanced branding opportunities.
Reliable Security
Keeping your retail space secure is priority number one, and EntrexGuard see-through security shutters help you accomplish this with ease. These shutters are designed using high-quality materials that are suitable for protecting mall stores, outlets, and commercial storefronts. They create a formidable barrier without feeling overly intrusive, making them an effective deterrent against theft and vandalism.
Bottom Bar Options
See-through security shutters are available with two bottom bar options: the heavy-duty 75mm and the heavy-duty 100mm bottom bar. Both are constructed from durable extruded aluminum, offering enhanced strength and resilience. The bottom bar reinforces the shutter’s structural integrity, providing additional resistance against forceful entry attempts and contributing to the shutter’s durability.
Businesses can further customize their security level by selecting from these bottom bar lock types:
- Heavy-duty locks
- Slide bolts
- Cam locks
- Plunger locks
- Thumbturns
- Low profile locks
- Code locks
- Padlock hasps
Merchandising
Don’t let your business go out of sight and out of mind. One of the standout features of see-through security shutters is that they keep window displays visible, even after hours. Unlike solid shutters that obscure your storefront, these retail security closures allow you to showcase your products around the clock.
Window displays are critical for attracting potential customers, and see-through shutters enhance their impact. Think of every passerby as a potential customer—keeping your displays visible increases the chances of drawing them in when your doors are open. Even after closing time, your store continues to leave a lasting impression.
Window Display Tips
Make sure your window display is well-lit even when the shutters are down; strategic lighting can highlight key products and maintain visibility. Use bold signage to communicate store hours, promotions, or upcoming events to engage potential customers passing by. Keep the display clean, uncluttered, and visually appealing to make a strong impression and maximize the benefit of your retail shutters.
Attractive Appearance
Customers are more likely to trust and engage with businesses that look well-maintained and welcoming. The sleek design of modern retail shutters gives your business a polished, professional look. EntrexGuard shutters are available in several curtain styles.
Here is a comparison of four curtain series that enhance visibility:
- 530 Series: Crafted with clear polycarbonate and aluminum connectors, this curved, transparent design offers a clean, modern look with a slat height of 66mm. The aluminum connectors are available in all colors.
- 535 Series: Featuring a straight, transparent design with the same premium clear polycarbonate and aluminum connectors, this series also has a 66mm slat height and customizable aluminum connector colors.
- 561 Series: Made with single-wall extruded aluminum, small perforations, and a slat height of 56mm, this curtain is offered in arctic white, clear anodized, dark bronze, or black finishes.
- 562 Series: Designed with single-wall extruded aluminum featuring large perforations, these 56mm slats are available exclusively in clear anodized.
Unlike bulky, outdated security solutions, see-through shutters show that your business prioritizes both security and style. First impressions matter, and the clean design of these shutters makes your storefront look visually appealing while reinforcing your brand identity.
Ease of Operation
Designed for fast-paced retail environments, commercial security closures are easy to operate, whether you’re opening the store for the day or locking up for the night. EntrexGuard closures use a dependable jackshaft motor for smooth and durable operation. The motor rotates an axle to lift the curtain, rolling it up neatly above the ceiling.
This ease of use allows business owners to focus on what truly matters—providing excellent customer service. Knowing your shutters are simple to manage means one less thing to worry about in your daily routine, helping you stay efficient and stress-free.
Paddle Switch vs. Key Switch
The paddle switch is a sleek, low-profile option designed for straightforward operation. With a simple press of the paddle, users can move the shutter up or down effortlessly. On the other hand, the key switch prioritizes security by requiring a key for activation. Turning the key in either direction will operate the shutter, while placing it in the neutral position halts movement.
Durability and Reliability
Durability is a key feature of see-through security shutters, ensuring they stand the test of time. These shutters are made with robust materials that can endure heavy daily use, making them an investment that pays off in the long run. Whether facing attempted break-ins, accidental bumps, or harsh outdoor conditions, their structure remains intact.
Guide rails are important for keeping the shutter curtain stable and aligned while it moves. EntrexGuard offers two standard sizes—64mm and 83mm—designed to match the needs of different curtain types. For extra security, the AnchorLoc 83mm guide rail has a system of anchors attached to the curtain to lock the curtain in place.
Day-to-day reliability is another reason businesses use EntrexGuard shutters. With a design that holds up against wear and tear, see-through shutters provide consistent performance without the need for frequent repairs or replacements. For example, the shutter’s axle raises and lowers the shutter reliably over years of daily use.
Enhanced Safety
EntrexGuard shutters are equipped with advanced safety features to ensure the well-being of your employees and customers. Pulling the emergency egress switch opens the shutter, preventing the shutter from trapping people inside during an emergency. The switch is conveniently mounted to the wall near the closure, keeping it within easy reach.
Additionally, Pentagon’s proprietary safety edge system offers an unparalleled level of protection. Using advanced wireless technology contained entirely within the heavy-duty bottom bar, the safety edge detects any obstacles beneath the shutter and responds instantly by rolling back up, avoiding accidental closure.
See-through security closures combine advanced safety, solid durability, and an attractive design to meet all your retail needs. They protect stores with reliable materials, customizable features, and user-friendly operation. These shutters also prioritize safety with emergency egress switches and wireless safety edge systems. Choosing EntrexGuard shutters means investing in both security and a modern, professional storefront.
