Security grilles are a worthwhile investment for commercial, industrial, institutional, and retail operations intent on maximizing the security of their facilities. Whether you opt for side-folding or roll-up grilles, these products can effectively protect the windows, doors, and service counters of your business from vandalism and break-ins.

In addition to restricting access to your property during off-hours, security grilles serve as a deterrent to theft. Plus, their ability to retract makes them an appealing alternative to window bars. With security grilles, you can benefit from a high level of security at night while ensuring your storefront or office building looks inviting during business hours.

If you’re in the market for security grilles, you can’t go wrong with the line of products offered by Wayne Dalton. Known for their sturdy construction and adaptable design, Wayne Dalton security grilles are a favourite among commercial property owners. Here’s a close look at three security grilles and the benefits they offer.

Wayne Dalton 600 ADV Advanced Rolling Grille System

Stored in a 24-gauge steel hood, this roll-up security grille is designed to provide high-cycle performance, lasting durability, and reliable security. Here’s why the 600 ADV is a top choice for high-traffic businesses:

• It’s low-maintenance. The springless design eliminates the need to replace springs, and its gear box motor requires minimal upkeep (unlike traditional chain and sprocket systems). What’s more, the control panel is equipped with a cycle counter, so you can easily keep track of when your security grille needs scheduled maintenance.
  
  
• It’s safe. This model comes standard with several safety features including a built-in brake mechanism and photoelectric sensors to reverse the downward motion of the grille if a person or object enters its path. The 600 ADV also has a manual chain to ensure the grille can be opened during a power outage.
  

• It’s long-lasting. The curtain’s heavy-duty galvanized steel links and sturdy rod construction ensures longevity, even if frequently used. It also comes standard with UHMW strips on the guides to significantly reduce curtain wear. And thanks to the control panel’s diagnostic tools, issues can be quickly detected and repaired.

Given that the 600 ADV operates three times faster than the standard rolling grille (with a maximum opening speed of 24 inches per second), this model is ideally suited for use in high-cycle or high-traffic areas such as parking garages, industrial manufacturing plants, and government facilities.

Wayne Dalton Rolling Grille Model 600

This manually operated grille is designed to maximize security, ventilation, and visibility. In addition to coming standard with slide bolts or pad-lockable chains, here’s what you can expect from this model:

• It’s durable. The bar at the base of the grille and the horizontal rods throughout the curtain provide strength and stability to the overall design. Additionally, the standard hollow steel rods can be upgraded to solid galvanized-steel, aluminum, or stainless- steel rods for added security.
  
  
• It’s good in an emergency. One additional feature of this model is the emergency egress system, which will automatically open the grille if an alarm goes off or there’s a power outage. This fail-safe prevents people from getting trapped in the event of an emergency and provides access to first responders.
  
  
• It’s customizable. Choose from various grille patterns, three rod materials and more than 200 powder-coat finish colours to match your facility’s needs and esthetics. In addition, Wayne Dalton offers combination door mounts, allowing you to pair this rolling grille with an exterior rolling door, for example.

The Model 600 is ideal for spaces, such as parking garages, where security, ventilation, and visibility are all top priorities. The emergency egress features also makes it a smart choice for schools, hospitals, and office buildings.

Wayne Dalton Accordion Folding Grille Series

The possible applications for this series of side-folding security grilles are virtually limitless, as there’s no limit on how long they can be. Here are some other benefits of this line of products:

• It’s versatile. These accordion grilles are available in several curtain materials to suit a variety of applications. You can opt for perforated steel to ensure ventilation, clear non-breakable polycarbonate for some visibility, clear tempered glass for full visibility, or full-height aluminum for maximum security.

• It’s easy to install. When you purchase a Wayne Dalton accordion grille, it includes the storage pocket, complete with an aluminum pocket door. The curtain height can also be adjusted by up to one inch in either direction to facilitate installation and compensate for unexpected on-site conditions.

• It’s customizable. Available in a variety of sizes, materials and colours, these grilles can also be installed along tracks configured in a number of curved layouts, including radius and S-curves. You can also choose to have pocket doors on one or both sides. Additionally, you have the choice between a wall-mounted grille and a recessed or surface ceiling track.

The side-folding closure of Wayne Dalton’s accordion security grilles makes them well suited for applications that require a secure barrier against both theft and debris. This can include retail settings in malls, airports, and concourses.
