Factors to Consider When Choosing Storefront Security
Choosing the right storefront security solution is crucial in securing your business. It protects your valuable assets and provides a sense of safety for your customers and employees.
When selecting a storefront security shutter or grille, consider your store layout and aesthetics. Choose a solution that complements the overall design and appearance of your store. Shutters and grilles are available in various styles, materials, and finishes to match your business.
Security features should be a top priority. Look for shutters and grilles with advanced locking mechanisms, such as heavy-duty deadbolt locks or electronic access systems. Visit our online store to see our office storage products.
Three Types of Storefront Security Shutters
Securing your establishment requires selecting the correct type of security grille or shutter. Here are three popular options that can meet the needs of retail business owners, mall shops, and pharmacies.
Benefits for all three types of shutters include:
- Extra Security: They provide effective prevention against break-ins, offering a reliable deterrent for potential intruders.
- Reduced Energy Costs: By adding an extra layer of insulation, these shutters keep the interior temperature regulated.
- Small Space Footprint: These security shutters feature the smallest storage box housing available in the market.
- High visibility: Especially for perforated shutters, you can maintain visibility from inside the space while ensuring security.
Storefront Security Shutters
Rolling security shutters can be solid, perforated, or punched. The perforated and punched shutters allow viewing into the store during closed hours and roll up into the shutter’s storage box housing during open hours.
Transparent Security Shutters
Transparent security shutters are essentially a “glass” wall that allows visibility, protection, and elegance. These shutters are perfect as a security partition or wall and can be used for indoor or outdoor applications.
The shutters are made of thick polycarbonate with a smooth surface. The material is 250 times stronger than glass of the same thickness. Transparent shutters are available in widths up to 18 feet.
The shutters have a scratch-resistant coating, allowing graffiti to be removed easily. In addition, transparent shutters are UV-resistant, preventing discoloration and ensuring the shutter maintains clarity. Optional Emergency Release Devices (ERD) and battery backup operation are available.
Side Folding Security Grilles
Side folding security grilles provide a high level of security and a clear view of architecture and merchandise. The clear, wide inserts allow a clear view of displayed merchandise and store interior design while providing a protective barrier against theft and intrusion.
Mounted on interlocking full-height concealed hinges, polycarbonate panels smoothly roll on suspended steel hangers from an overhead track. These shatterproof panels virtually eliminate the risk of smash-and-grab theft.
Optional narrow slots can be added to the panels to enhance airflow if desired. When not used, the panels fold into a wall storage inlet for a clean look.

Business Testimonials
“Working with Southwest Solutions including Matt, Susan, and especially Brad was great. They provide amazing customer service. Brad and the install team were especially great. Very professional, easy to work with, and did the work quickly and very well with very little input from us. If we need help with carousel storage moves, parts, or new equipment we will start with Southwest Solutions. ”
“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”
“I want to let you know that we all really appreciated your team mentality, professionalism and dedication shown on this project. It was a pleasure working with you and your office and we look forward to many more. Please pass along my gratitude to everyone who worked on this project. Thanks! ”
“I just want to take a minute to let you know how good of a job your install crew did yesterday. They were quick, fast, courteous and very consensus during the install. They were awesome to say the least. Being in the service business ourselves, we know that you can never hear the words “Good Job” often enough. Please pass this along to your crew.”
