Need to securely separate two spaces but still need airflow and visibility? Our Rolling Security Grilles are your answer. Our durable Rolling Security Grilles keep areas off-limits, require little to no maintenance and can be configured to meet your desired aesthetic.

Custom built to an exact opening size, the commercial-duty design is durable, requires little-to-no maintenance and offers ease of repair with readily available parts. Install these overhead grilles behind storefront glass, at service window openings, in schools, malls, restaurants, healthcare settings and more.

We offer several different security grille models, with different material options. Multiple opening sizes, as well as straight block or staggered brick patterns make the rolling grille variations practically unlimited. Our security grilles can be powder coated in nearly 200 stock colors as well as custom options and upgrades such as flame retardant polycarbonate inserts to prevent theft of small articles.

For convenience, the security grille curtain stores in an overhead coil supported by the guide extensions for an out of sight, compact storage.

Rolling Security Grilles provide the following benefits:

Security: Grilles prevent unauthorized access and discourage forced entry at building exterior openings, storefronts or areas within buildings, such as pharmacies or parts counters. Used behind plate glass storefronts, they are a deterrent to smash-and-grab crime.
Aesthetics: A variety of metal finishes from polished stainless to deep bronze are available to contribute to visual aesthetics as well as curtain configurations in straight or brick pattern.
Design Flexibility: Our grilles are built to order to fit your opening size, operation and option preferences.
Space-saving: Curtain stores in a compact coil at the head of an opening for fuller use of the interior space.
Durability: Rugged commercial-grade construction stands the test of time with little to no maintenance.
Early Installation Option: Early/easy self-supporting installation system lets grilles be fitted in before walls are built and before there is an opening.
Low life cycle cost: Rugged construction and quality materials assure long life and less costly maintenance.
