Side runners (guides) are constructed from extruded aluminium and are finished the same colour as the curtain. These are designed to not only hold the door securely in place but also to limit and restrict draughts around the curtain. As standard the doors are supplied without a box to cover the roller mechanism however where required a full box or a half box fascia can be specified.

In the event of forced entry the integral buzzer will sound on the control box in a bid to deter an intruder which is a great little deterrent feature.
