Security Roller Shutters. Built to Deter and Stop Break-Ins.

Yes. When fully closed, the aluminium slats interlock into a rigid panel that covers the entire window. The motor’s internal brake holds the shutter in place and resists any attempt to push it back up from outside. There’s no external handle, no keyhole, and no visible access point for an intruder to target. The shutter also acts as a visual deterrent. Most opportunistic burglars scan a street for the easiest target, and a home with roller shutters on the windows signals that entry will be difficult, noisy, and time-consuming. That’s sufficient in most cases to make them move on. See our installation process for how we fit them to your home.

They work on two levels. First, the physical barrier: interlocking aluminium slats form a rigid panel when closed, and the motor’s internal brake prevents the shutter from being lifted. Forcing through requires heavy tools, sustained effort, and creates significant noise that draws attention. Second, the visual deterrent: a home with visible shutters looks harder to enter from the street. Research consistently shows that burglars prefer easy, quiet entry points. A roller shutter eliminates both. Learn more about how external shutters mount on the outside for maximum protection.

Most types. Casement, sliding, double-hung, awning, bay, and corner windows are all covered. We also fit to sliding doors, French doors, bi-fold doors, and standard entry doors. Bay and corner windows need custom guide rail configurations, which carry a surcharge based on complexity. Every opening is measured individually during the free on-site assessment, and we confirm what’s possible for your specific home. No minimum order required, so you can start with the most vulnerable entry points and expand coverage over time.

There’s no industry-standard discount for roller shutters in Australia. Some customers have told us their insurer viewed the shutters favourably when reviewing their policy, but we can’t promise a specific saving. If insurance is part of your decision, call your insurer before committing and ask how they treat external roller shutters on windows and doors. What we can tell you is that shutters reduce the risk of forced entry, which is one of the factors insurers consider. See our pricing page for what the shutters themselves cost.

For standard single-storey windows with SM tubular motors, most security roller shutters cost between $770 and $1,655 per opening. The average home window sits around $1,090 incl GST, covering the shutter, custom preparation in our workshop, installation by our in-house crew, and licensed electrical work with Certificate of Electrical Safety. Double-storey installations requiring ladder or scaffolding access carry a surcharge quoted on-site. Non-standard fittings like bay or corner windows carry a surcharge based on complexity. German-engineered Elero motors are $265 more per shutter if you want the quieter premium option. Use our pricing calculator for a ballpark, then book a free measure for your exact price.
