FAQs

What is the maximum width for XL commercial security shutters?

The maximum width for XL Shutters is 30 ft.

Does an XL shutter require a Jackshaft motor for operation?

No. The XL Shutter utilizes a tubular motor for operation up to 26 ft. For 26-30 ft., a jackshaft motor is required.

Can I use an XL for an exterior application?

No, XL Shutters are used primarily for interior applications as they have no wind or pressure rating.

When should I use an XL Shutter over an AL8 Security Shutter?

If openings are larger than 20 ft. wide, use an XL Shutter. The medium-security XL can be installed to existing jambs (with some structural validation) when architects and designers desire the look of a shutter over a large opening or want to minimize costs in a subdivided space. With spans as wide as 30 ft., an XL solution may fit your needs.

What applications can the XL shutter be used for?

XL Shutters are most commonly used for counter-security applications with wide openings such as pharmacies. They are also frequently used as a secondary security option for retailers who desire an additional barrier for their interior doors. XL Shutters provide a unique option for relatively large openings as they have a small and visually appealing, finished box housing.

How long does it take to install XL Shutters?

The XL Shutter was specifically designed to be installed very quickly. Typical installations take under two hours.
