Security Grilles & Shutters — Visible Deterrent. Real Protection.
Security grilles and shutters protect storefronts, service windows, and commercial openings after hours — providing a physical barrier against break-in while maintaining visibility and ventilation where needed. They’re the standard for retail, transit, institutional, and high-security commercial applications.
Properly Specified for Your Security Level and Opening Type
Wilcox installs security grilles and shutters across Ontario for retail, institutional, parking, and commercial facilities. We specify the right security level, operation type (manual or motorized), and finish for your application — and our certified Ironworkers install every system to code. Emergency service available when security hardware fails after hours.

Every job is documented — inspection reports, parts used, service records. Compliance-ready paperwork at no extra charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial applications typically use 22-gauge steel. High-security, high-impact, or forklift-adjacent environments may warrant 20-gauge or heavier. Wilcox assesses your opening and use case before recommending — over-specifying adds cost without real benefit.
Standard rolling steel doors are available up to 40' wide and 30' tall. Oversized custom orders are available. For very large openings, we may also evaluate bi-fold doors depending on your cycle requirements.
Insulated rolling steel doors with thermal break construction and perimeter seals maintain separation between cold and ambient zones. Wilcox specifies the correct seal and insulation package for your specific temperature differential.
Annual PM is standard. High-cycle installations benefit from semi-annual service — coil tension, hood seals, and guide lubrication are the main wear items to monitor.
Rolling fire doors are UL-listed for fire separation and activate via fusible links or electronic release. They require annual drop testing per NFPA 80. Rolling steel doors are general-purpose. Wilcox installs and services both.
