Commercial Service Doors
In a multitude of applications counter shutters are used instead of security gates for locations not wanting visibility. These rolling shutter doors are installed on interior or external walls, on counters, or can go to the floor. With their compact door component design, they are also ideal for small door openings.
Pharmacies, hospitality spaces, concession areas at arenas/educational facilities, cafeterias, parts counters and tool area storage are great examples of spaces that would want counter shutters installed. Benefits include a custom, built-in look and vinyl graphics can be applied to the curtain and hood for logos and advertisements to be displayed. Counter shutters are also available in fire-rated models designed for you to protect against the spread of smoke and fire.
