Sliding Shutter System

The tracking and stacking abilities of this system is based on the FG01 system

Due to the demand for a Shutter System and the success of the FG03 System, a FG02 Security Shutter System was added to the product range which is based on exactly the same principle as the FG03 system. The FG02 System is available with conventional manual operating louvers with a stainless steel rod in each louver.

Louvers block out 95% of light. Although the method of sliding, folding and stacking the individual panels are unique to the FG02 System. It is not compulsory & we can offer conventional methods such as sliding or hinge. It is available in various colours as well as some wood grain finishes.

Using advanced South African technology, materials & fittings, the FG02 Sliding Shutter System offers a 2 year guarantee master crafted with elegant lines, creating a superb finish. The FG02 is based on the mechanics of the well-established FG03 Frameless Glass System of which the panels can either stack inwards or outwards. The FG02 System acts as a deterrent against forceful entry and aids as a barrier until preventative measures can be taken.

Each louver has got a stainless steel rod with a washer to each end. The rod is loose, enabling it to spin in the event that a prospective burglar should try to cut through it with a hacksaw. The washer also exceeds the size of the hole in the side plate to prevent it from tearing through the aluminium, should the blade be smashed with a hammer.

The top wheels slide into the track (horizontally) and each panel has got guiding blocks and inter lockers to prevent it from being lifted out of the tracks. The lock on the primary door secures the rest of the panels in the locked position.
