Why Hospitals Need Layered Physical Security
37% of emergency department staff experience physical assault, with 86% experiencing verbal abuse. In other studies, psychiatric patients and patients seeking drugs were responsible for 40% of assaults on emergency physicians.
With such high stats and narcotics diversion on the rise, hospital staff deserve a layer of protection to do their job properly and go home safely. This is especially true with narcotics diversion rising and the ever-present importance of patient record security. The solution is security shutters.
What Security Shutters Do in a Hospital
Lock Down Pharmacies, Narcotics & Supply Rooms
Pharmacy security shutters provide a physical layer of protection for DEA-required secure storage. They deter thieves and protect against break-ins, as well as staff who may access storage outside working hours.
Shield Patient Records, IT & High-Value Equipment
HIPAA requires physical safeguards for your patient records. Data breaches are on the rise and can lead to vast quantities of patient data being shared, exposed, or sold. This is not only a privacy disaster, but also a PR disaster.
You’ll also want to protect your IT equipment and imaging and examination devices, which can be stolen or inadvertently damaged during frantic break-ins. A security shutter prevents that.
Secure Gift Shops, Cafeterias & Serveries After Hours
High-traffic, relatively vulnerable public areas, such as cafeterias or shops, need protection too. These areas are prone to quick smash-and-grabs, so we recommend a perforated grille that prevents theft while keeping merchandise visible when closed.
Separate Public & Staff Zones, or After-Hours Entrances
Using security shutters to create zones in hospitals can improve internal circulation and privacy. For example, if you want to separate public and treatment areas from staff functions, you can do so with extra security beyond pre-existing doors that may be vulnerable at night.

Features Built for Healthcare Environments
Visibility Options: Solid, 14% Grid or 40% Rectangle
Rollac’s healthcare facility security shutters, ShopGuard, offer a choice of visibility via punch patterns. Both are strong enough to prevent break-ins while still letting passersby see your products and advertisements. You can choose between:
- 14% openness (Grid)
- 40% openness (Rectangle)
Extruded-Aluminum Strength & End Retention System
ShopGuard is made out of aluminum extrusions, which provide an extremely strong shield against impact. You can also add an end retention system for additional strength.
Our slats are patented (RLL59), designed to resist both forced entry and forceful pull-out. The aluminum material is also highly durable so that it can withstand the abuse of daily life.
Manual, Motorized & Access-Control Operation
Our shutters are also available in quiet manual or motorized setups, with access control for security.
This makes them ideal hospital rolling shutters for interior partitions, emergency departments, or receptions, where you may want a standalone manual system or an automated system that can close multiple shutters at once.
Compact Single-Wall Housing & Locking Options
Hospital pharmacy and narcotics security shutters often have limited overhead space. That’s why ShopGuard uses a patented, engineered single-wall extruded profile.
This allows for a discreet rolling mechanism that hides the shutter out of view securely when not in use. You can choose between either a 45-degree or 90-degree box housing, depending on your hospital’s needs.
Powder-Coat & Anodized Finishes for Clinical Interiors
We understand that hospitals and medical facilities need a clean, clinical aesthetic. That’s why our ShopGuard shutters feature a high-quality powder-coated or anodized finish that blends with your corridor or lobby decor.
