| · TECHNICAL DETAILS · |

Roller shutter doors are designed to offer reliable, secure operation tailored to the specific needs of each installation. Their mechanical and electronic architecture combines structural robustness, operational efficiency, and high-performance security features across various environments.

This section presents the main technical elements that define the door’s performance: motorization systems, power supply, control mechanisms, as well as active and passive safety devices that guarantee continuous and protected use.

The available configurations and options allowing the door to be adapted to different operational intensities, dimensions, and regulatory requirements are detailed below.

b | guIDE RAILS & SUPPORTS

The guide rails of a roller shutter are lateral profiles —typically made of aluminium or galvanised steel— that ensure the vertical, stable and controlled movement of the slats. Their function is to guide, stabilise and retain the curtain, preventing lateral deviation, vibrations and irregular stress.
Además, las guías pueden:
· Be manufactured in different materials: extruded aluminium, galvanised steel, powder-coated steel or stainless steel, depending on the usage and exposure level.
· Be customised in cross-section, thickness, tolerances and weather-stripping type, according to the shutter model and required weather protection level.
· Be powder-coated or lacquered in any RAL colour to blend with the facade or the shutter finish.
· Integrate security & safety elements, such as anti-jamming systems, reinforced guides, anti-intrusion seals or sensor-ready profiles.

Supports (guide shoes/caps) are components fitted to the ends of the slats to ensure smooth entry into the guide rails, and some enhance the shutter’s performance properties. These are technical polyamide parts inserted at the ends of each slat to guarantee precise tracking inside the guide rails.
Las ventajas de los terminales:
· Curtain stability: Maintains alignment and prevents lateral shifting.
· Friction reduction: Eliminates metal-to-metal contact and reduces noise.
· Slat protection: Prevents wear and tear and acts as a support point.
· Guide rail compatibility: Works with standard guide rails and autolock systems.
· Secure fastening: Press-fitted or screw-retained to ensure stability.
· Industrial durability: Heavy-duty materials for continuous use.

d | barrel

Our production department will determine the barrel diameter based on the shutter dimensions and slat type.

e | supports

Wall-mounting fixing mechanisms; can be fixed or adjustable depending on the shutter dimensions and the type of motor.

f | security & safety

Customize your roller shutter with padlocks, photocells, manual override boxes, etc.

f1 | PADLOCKS

Shutters can be equipped with a security padlock featuring a SAG high-security lock, which includes 2 keys with a unique identification code for requesting duplicates and protecting the premises.

f2 | PRE-WARNING LIGHT

Doors can include a flashing pre-warning light on both sides for motorized doors, featuring a low-consumption white LED, integrated flashing function, and a 433.92 MHz antenna. It operates on multi-voltage, allows for surface or wall mounting, and is available in a white or yellow housing.

f3 | RELEASE BOXES

We can add manual release boxes, which can be integrated into the building structure or within the side guides. The location must be specified.

f4 | PHOTOCELLS

Roller shutters can be equipped with photocells or light curtains that create an optical barrier across the door opening. When an object or person interrupts the beam, the system stops or reverses the movement to ensure safe operation and prevent any risk of entrapment.

g | accessories

Shutters can be customised by adding special elements; please consult with our sales representative regarding the feasibility and cost of each option.

G1A | SHUTTER BOXER

Upon request, we can manufacture shutter boxes (or hoods) to protect the barrels, endplates and motors. These adapt seamlessly to the overall look of the curtain, sharing the same finish, or they can be customised (smooth or slatted designs with various finishes).

G1B | SHUTTER BOXES FINISHES

We can complement the shutter with custom additions such as letter plates or post boxes.
