Case Study: A Combination of Stackdoor and Xonar Security Shutters for an Apartment Complex Car Park One of CGT Security’s most recent applications required security solutions for its apartment complex car park and loading bay area. The application consisted of high- volume use of the entrance/exit point, high gas emission within the enclosed space and very low lighting. The client required a security solution that could serve a high- duty purpose, provide a wide space for ventilation, natural light and visibility for the car park entrance, and a second solution where certified security was essential for the loading bay area. CGT Security’s iconic Stackdoor security shutter is designed to provide up to 80% ventilation and maximise visibility without compromise on security. The innovative pin-to-profile technology and chain drive system used in the Stackdoor system provides the shutter with self-locking technology, which allows it to lock without requiring any auxiliary locks and prevents it from being manually lifted from any position, even if it was left partially open by human error. The stacking technology also means that the space taken up when the Stackdoor is open, is only ever as deep as the shutter itself and only as high as the horizontal bars on top of each other. This represents a considerable headroom saving. The Stackdoor shutter provided the application increased airflow that met ventilation criteria for the car park, a maximised space for natural light and a high-duty motor to work efficiently even in busy multi-use conditions, without any compromise on security whatsoever. Stackdoor’s innovative security system can be installed into an array of applications such as car park entrances, retail outlets and low-to-medium-risk commercial buildings. On the other hand, the Xonar security shutter was a perfect fit for the loading bay area that required a security-rated solution which met Secured by Design standards. The Xonar 942 bolt-on security shutter provided exactly that, on top of self-locking technology as well. The Xonar range is designed to provide an elegant, lightweight, and easy to install shutter system, that also offers shutters certified to LPS 1175. Both shutters were installed in a smart metallic gold type finish, enhancing the application with a robust and stylish solution.
