SR2 Roller Shutters
For medium-risk commercial and domestic applications requiring an insurance-rated shutter. HAG’s SR2 shutters are certified to LPS 1175 Issue 7 and manufactured in accordance with BS EN 12489 and BS EN 12426. They are tested to a 3-minute attack time using tools including pliers, axe, crowbar and gas torch.

LPCB-recognised protection
The LPS Loss Prevention Standards are issued by the Loss Prevention Certification Board, an independent third-party service from BRE, and are recognised by major insurance companies. The system grades shutters by resistance to sustained attack.
Patented self-locking technology
HAG’s distinctive self-locking mechanism prevents the shutter from being lifted from any position. Precision-engineered extrusions engage with the guide rails when upward force is applied, so the more pressure applied, the more securely the shutter locks.
Properly matched to the opening
When specifying an insurance-certified roller shutter, you should consider the security level, risk of attack, opening width and height, aesthetics, frequency of use, budget and finish.
Installed to approved standards
HAG’s insurance-certified shutters are supplied and fitted to exacting standards, with full LPCB certification, and that the company is an approved installer for the Xonar product range.
Where there is a serious risk of forced entry, insurance requirements are often only part of the picture. You also need a shutter that suits the building, the usage pattern and the day-to-day operation of the opening. HAG’s SR-rated range is intended for high-risk commercial and domestic applications, with options to suit medium, medium-to-high and high-risk environments.
Suitable applications can include retail premises, commercial buildings, sensitive access points and properties where insurers or risk assessments call for a certified physical security solution. This is an inference from HAG’s description of the products as suitable for commercial and domestic applications requiring insurance-certified protection.
This roller shutter is equipped with a distinctive patented self-locking mechanism, guaranteeing that the shutter remains secure and cannot be lifted from any position, even if it is not fully closed.
The shutter curtain incorporates a precision extrusion that offers several locking points. If an attempt is made to lift the shutter from below, the self-locking extrusions engage with the side guide rails, effectively preventing any forced opening of the shutter. The more pressure that is applied, the more securely the profiles lock.
HAG Ltd. is an approved installer for the Xonar product range and are endorsed by the manufacturer to ensure standards are upheld from design and manufacture, to site installation.
The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) is an independent third-party service provided by the Building Research Establishment (BRE). They test products to Loss Prevention Standards (LPS) for security and fire standards and are recognized by all major insurance companies.
Certified roller shutters have been tested by the LPCB in attack tests using various types of equipment, varying from hand tools to electrical tools, in an attempt to gain access through the roller shutter.
According to the LPS 1175 standard, the Security Rating (SR) relates to the security level at which the roller shutter is certified to and the level to which it meets the loss prevention standard. For security shutters, these security ratings range from SR2 (the lowest) to SR5 (the highest). HAG Insurance Roller Shutters are specifiable with security ratings SR2, SR3 and SR4.
What does SR mean?
Under LPS 1175, the Security Rating (SR) indicates the level to which the shutter is certified against the loss prevention standard. HAG notes that security shutters range from SR2 to SR5, and its insurance-certified range is available in SR2, SR3 and SR4.
