Counter Shutters
Small Footprint. Full Security.
A counter shutter is a compact rolling door that closes over a service window or counter opening. The tracks, slats and hood are smaller than a full rolling door, so it secures the opening without dominating the finish. We build them to the opening, then install and service them.
- Steel, stainless or aluminum, in a range of finishes
- Openings to 21 feet wide and 10 feet high as standard
- Tubular motor, hand crank or push-up operation
- Fire-rated counter shutters where code calls for them
Features and Benefits
Why Counter Shutters?
Compact and Clean
Smaller tracks, slats and hood than a rolling door, so the closure blends into a finished wall instead of dominating it.
Fast to Spec and Ship
Each shutter is built to the opening, and most standard counter doors ship in one to two weeks.
Secures the Counter
Interlocking slats close the service window against forced entry and weather after hours.
Low Maintenance
A rugged commercial build with parts readily available, so service is quick when it is needed.
Where They Work
Which Counter Shutter Fits the Opening?
We match the slat, finish and operation to the counter, and add fire rating or vision where the space calls for it.
Service and Concession Windows
Cafeterias, canteens, arenas and stadium concessions where a counter opens to the public.
Reception and Pharmacy Counters
Healthcare, pharmacy and office counters that secure records, stock or cash after hours.
Fire-Rated Counter Shutters
For counter openings in fire and smoke barrier walls, a fire-rated shutter closes automatically to hold the separation.
Insulated and Vision Options
Insulated counter doors for temperature control, plus perforated slats or vision windows where visibility and airflow matter.

How It Works
From the First Call to a Door That Runs

Documented and Warranted
You get the paperwork for compliance and warranty, and one number to call.
Ongoing Service
Optional preventative maintenance keeps it running and catches wear before it becomes a shutdown.
Preventative Maintenance
