LPS 1175 Rated Security Shutters: Certified Protection for High-Risk Environments

LPS 1175 is the Loss Prevention Standard for the burglary resistance of building components, including security roller shutters, doors, and enclosures. Developed by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), LPS 1175 certification is internationally recognised and relied upon by insurers, architects, and security professionals.

LPS 1175 rated security shutters are subjected to rigorous, real-world attack testing. Only shutters that withstand intensive forced-entry attempts using a range of tools and attack durations earn this prestigious certification. When you choose an LPS 1175 rated shutter, you’re investing in a product that has been independently tested and proven to resist break-ins.

Understanding LPS 1175 Security Ratings (SR1–SR5)
LPS 1175 security shutters are classified by Security Rating (SR), which reflects the level of resistance and the type of tools used in testing:
SR1: Resists basic hand tools (screwdrivers, pliers) for 1 minute – suitable for low-risk sites.
SR2: Withstands more determined attacks with tools like claw hammers and lever bars for 3 minutes.
SR3: Defends against experienced intruders using heavier hand tools (crowbars, axes) for 5 minutes – ideal for valuable retail and commercial properties.
SR4: Tested with powerful manual and battery tools (felling axes, drills) for 10 minutes – required for high-value assets and sensitive environments.
SR5: Resists specialist battery-powered tools (disc grinders, saws) for 20 minutes – used for critical infrastructure and the highest risk locations.
The higher the SR rating, the more robust the protection. Our team can advise on the appropriate security rating for your property based on risk assessment and insurance requirements.
