Gilgen Door Systems is partnering with World renowned standards agency BRE to facilitate a series of live attack demonstrations featuring its high security shutters at IFSEC International, 20-22^nd June. Visitors to the show at London’s Excel centre will be able to compare the performance of Gilgen high security shutters to that of standard industrial shutters across a variety of simulated attacks including the use of powerful hand-held tools.

Commenting on the show David Cerquella, Managing Director of Gilgen Door Systems said “For the first time live LPCB test demonstrations are being made available to the public and we are delighted to give visitors to the show the opportunity to experience the strength of Gilgen high security shutters first hand. Visitors will gain an appreciation of the stringent nature of the LPCB test program conducted by experienced test engineers and the need for security shutters in today’s high threat environment to repel various forms of attack”.

Gilgen Door Systems offers the widest range of independently tested high security shutters on the market and is the only company to offer security shutters tested to the European Security Standard EN1627:2011  as well as models tested to the UK loss prevention standard LPS1175, issue 7, level 2-5.
