How Safe Are Roller Shutters?

Let’s clear up a subject that requires great scrutiny and seriousness first. Can you escape from a window with a roller shutter in case of fire? It’s mandated in manufacturing regulations that every roller shutter is either manually operated or has a manual override if the shutter is motorised. Similarly, any locks that are fitted can be specified to use keyless latches that can be operated from within without the need to unlock the latch using a key. In all instances, security roller shutters are as safe as the window that they are fitted to.
