Steel Roller Shutters with Wicket Door: Secure, Convenient Access for Industrial and Commercial Premises

A wicket door is a pedestrian access door built directly into the roller shutter curtain. It allows authorised personnel to enter and exit the premises without raising the entire shutter, improving security, energy efficiency, and operational convenience.

Key Features and Benefits

• Enhanced Security: Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel, our roller shutters with wicket doors provide the same high level of security as a standard steel shutter, with reinforced door frames and multi-point locking.
• Convenient Pedestrian Access: The integrated wicket door allows staff and visitors to pass through quickly and safely while the main shutter remains closed.
• Energy Efficiency: Minimise heat loss and maintain internal temperatures by avoiding the need to fully open the shutter for foot traffic.
• Space-Saving Design: Ideal for locations where separate pedestrian doors are not practical or possible.
• Customisable Options: Available in a range of sizes, powder coated finishes, and locking systems to match your building’s requirements.
• Manual or Electric Operation: Choose from manual chain, electric motor, or remote control operation for the main shutter, with independent access via the wicket door.
• Safety Compliance: All wicket doors are designed to meet current UK safety regulations and can be fitted with emergency exit hardware if required.
• Weather Resistance: Galvanised or powder coated steel construction ensures durability and protection from the elements.
