QMI Launches AL8 Commercial Rolling Shutters

Today, QMI announced its newly enhanced commercial rolling shutter, the AL8. The AL8 shutter provides superior protection for businesses against heavy impact, smash-and-grab attacks, and high-intensity retail organized crime.

This new line offers three levels of protection:

  • Level 1 System: Covers most security needs with its patented slat and rail design, the solution is ideal for majority of storefront applications.
  • Level 2 System: Includes heavy-duty slats, enhanced retention and structural attachment methods, and optional autolocking base slats for high crime areas seeking extra security
  • Level 3 System: Offers further enhancement with heavier-duty base slats for the largest spans.  Other customized security options are also available.

For motorization over doors, QMI has developed an industry-first egressible tubular motor option for AL8. This small-housing, code-compliant egress system fits perfectly over doorways and discretely integrates an Emergency Release Device (ERD) to operate the shutter during power failure. 

As the strongest security shutter in the industry with the smallest box-housing, AL8 is the ideal choice to protect your business. It comes in, a wide range of motorized and manual options, a variety of colors, and both solid and perforated slat styles to match building aesthetics and visibility requirements.
