Case Study: Warner Brothers
Security Direct has worked with Warner Bros on a large Blockbuster movie set. We are asked to work with the production team on fitting steel roller shutters and retractable security grilles to a film set of an old town. They wanted the shutters and grilles fitted on the outside of buildings to look old and industrial. Some of the products are operation and some are fixed to look like the real thing. They got their special effects team to work on the products, to age them and make them look old. The grilles and shutters and been transformed from bright new products too old rusty products that look around 20 years old, in only a few days. It was incredible what they can do. It was a very interesting and exciting project and look forward to seeing the final result when the film is released. We look forward to working with the production team again on future production sets.

Case Study: Aerosuperbatics Cirencester
Aerosuperbatics in Cirencester wanted a secure solution to keep their planes secure but also protected from the weather. They opted for Roller Shutters and these were fitted across the aircraft hanger and benefited from 100mm Insulated Steel Laths. This product was the only suitable solution due to the opening being over 11m wide. Roller shutters can be a good option for this kind of venue due to being wind resistant. Our wind resistant roller shutter doors can prevent damage by withstanding gale force winds of up to 100mph. In addition to the security and wind resistant features, the ‘wind lock end caps’ help eliminate rattle, minimising annoying noise – and have the added benefit of enhancing security by protecting the sides of the lath.

Case Study: BAE Systems
Security Direct has worked with the Main Contractor on a BAE Systems facility. The main contractor was refurbishing a manufacturing facility, which had to be done to strict MOD requirements. This was a very high security site, so security was paramount. The product was required to protect windows, vent spaces and void spaces underneath the floors. The product specified was the Maximum Security Roller Shutters - LPS1175 Security Level 4. The SR4 bar grilles were manufactured to suit individual openings. The vertical bars are manufactured using 32mm vertical solid steel bars, at approx 112mm gaps. These are welded into a 50mm x 50mm x 5mm thick angle frame. There are then 44mm x 8mm thick flat horizontal steel tie bars every 112mm. These grilles weigh approx 80kgs per m2. Due to some of the sizes of the opening, the grilles had to be manufactured in 2 sections and bolted together on site. BAE Systems were very happy with the products and have specified the product on similar projects for the future.

Case Study: Improving Security and Access Control at Rolls-Royce in Derby
Security Solutions for Manufacturing and Industrial Sites Every industrial facility presents different security challenges. Security Direct supplies a wide range of physical security products for factories, warehouses and commercial premises, from roller shutters and security grilles to retractable barriers and other access-control solutions. Projects such as this also demonstrate the value of discussing the application rather than simply selecting a product from a catalogue. Factors such as opening size, frequency of use, pedestrian access, ventilation, visibility and the surrounding structure can all influence which solution is most appropriate. Our customer feedback can also be viewed through our Feefo Review Page and Trustpilot, where customers can read independent reviews of Security Direct and our service. Successful Project Completion Following the successful completion of the work, the new security measures provided Rolls-Royce with practical solutions tailored to the different requirements across its Derby site. The Perforated Steel Roller Shutter provided a secure and practical way to close off the staff canteen's food preparation area, while the 2m-high Trackless Retractable Barriers gave the site greater flexibility when restricting access to designated factory areas and open loading bays. I was personally involved in the project, working with Rolls-Royce to understand the challenges they were experiencing on site and helping to identify suitable Security Direct products for each application. It was particularly rewarding to see the different solutions successfully implemented within such a prestigious and highly secure manufacturing environment. The completed project demonstrates how selecting security products around the specific operational requirements of each area can provide effective protection without unnecessarily restricting the day-to-day operation of a busy industrial site. Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat type of roller shutter was installed at the Rolls-Royce canteen? Security Direct installed a Perforated Steel Roller Shutter with 18% vision. It was selected because the canteen required physical security when the kitchen was closed while still benefiting from airflow and visibility through the shutter. Why use a perforated shutter instead of a solid roller shutter? A perforated roller shutter provides a physical barrier while allowing some visibility and ventilation through the curtain. This can make it particularly useful for applications such as canteens, serveries and other commercial openings where completely blocking the opening isn't desirable. What is a trackless retractable barrier? A Trackless Retractable Barrier is an expandable physical barrier that can be deployed across an opening or area when access needs to be restricted and retracted when it isn't required. The trackless design avoids the need for a continuous floor track. Can retractable barriers be used across loading bays? Yes. In this project, 2m-high Trackless Retractable Barriers were used across loading bays to help prevent unauthorised personnel entering through the openings while the main loading bay doors were open. Are these security solutions only suitable for large factories? No. The same principles can be applied to warehouses, workshops, distribution centres, commercial kitchens and many other premises. The appropriate product will depend on the opening, required level of security and how the area is used. Need to Secure a Factory, Warehouse or Loading Bay? From protecting an individual doorway to controlling access across a large industrial site, Security Direct can help identify a practical solution for the application. We supply a broad range of commercial and industrial roller shutters, security barriers and access-control products, with options to suit different levels of security, visibility and day-to-day operation.
