Each lath is retained by nylon, pressed steel or malleable iron endlocks fixed and secured by steel rivets. Cast iron wind locks are fitted to help prevent the curtain being forced out of guides during high winds, as and when required.

Galvanised steel angles of suitable size and thickness are supplied to support the side guides and to form a secure fixing to the structure.

The roller barrel is constructed from a mild steel tube of suitable outside diameter and wall thickness to suit the shutter application. The barrel encases helical springs, which are securely fitted inside the barrel, and are supported by purpose-made cast iron or SG iron castings. The springs counter-balance the shutter.
