Pentagon Security Shutters

Pentagon has been building rolling security shutters and retractable screens for over twenty years, through a dealer network across North America. Four product lines cover most openings: shutters for doors and garages, closures for storefronts, shutters that lock down shelving and storage, and screens for patios.

Closed, the shutter is a physical barrier against forced entry, weather and vandalism. Open, it coils into a compact box above the opening and leaves the view clear. Rivett measures the opening, fits the shutter with our own crew and services it afterwards.

Pentagon Shutters, Measured and Fitted by Rivett.

Pentagon fitted to a residential opening

Pentagon Shutters, Measured and Fitted by Rivett.

We measure the opening ourselves, install the shutter with our own crew, and handle service and repairs afterwards. From the door and shutter to ongoing maintenance, you have one company responsible for the complete opening.

Whether you need to secure a storefront overnight, protect a garage, close a commercial bay between shifts, or lock down shelving in a stockroom, we will assess the opening and recommend the line and configuration that fits.

Why Buy Your Pentagon Shutters From Rivett

A shutter is only as good as the opening it was measured for. Ours are measured on site, fitted by our own crew and serviced by the same people.

A Box That Stays Out Of The Way

Pentagon engineers the curtain to coil into the smallest box the size allows, in roll-formed aluminum, and builds the housing to open for servicing rather than sealing it shut.

Anti-Lift Auto Lock

The curtain locks itself against being forced upward once closed, so the serviceable housing does not come at the cost of the security.

Solid, Perforated Or Transparent

Solid where the opening should go dark and shut, perforated where you want light and airflow through a closed shutter, transparent where the frontage still has to be seen into.

Measured On Site, Not Over The Phone

We measure the opening, the mounting and the clearances before anything is ordered, because a shutter built to a phone measurement is one that binds.

Fitted By Our Own Crew

No subcontractors. The people who fit it work for Rivett, and are the ones who come back if it ever needs adjusting.

Serviced By The Same Team

Repairs, replacement parts and adjustments handled in-house, including shutters we did not originally supply.

Frequently Asked Questions.

DefendaGuard is the rolling security shutter for doors, garages and entryways. EntrexGuard is the retail version, built for storefronts and mall closures. TambourGuard is the small-scale one — shutters that close off cabinets, shelving and counters. TranquilGuard is the screen line, for patios and covered outdoor rooms. Tell us what is behind the opening and we will tell you which line it is.

Depends on the curtain. A solid curtain closes the opening completely and blocks the light with it. A perforated curtain lets light and air through while staying shut, which is what most storefronts want. A transparent curtain keeps the display visible after hours. The three are priced differently and behave very differently in a heat wave, so it is worth deciding before we quote rather than after.

Motorised for anything worked daily or anything large — wall switch, remote, and app or Wi-Fi control on the current models. Manual is fine on smaller openings that are closed seasonally rather than nightly. Ask us about the manual override before you decide: what happens in a power cut is a fair question and the answer differs by configuration.

That is what the site measure settles. The box housing needs headroom above the opening, and the size of the box depends on the size of the curtain that has to coil into it. Where there is no room above, a built-in or recessed mount is sometimes possible. We check it before anything is ordered.

Yes, and for a lot of customers it is the main reason. A closed shutter cuts heat gain in summer, holds heat in winter, damps outside noise and blocks light almost entirely with a solid curtain. It also takes the impact of hail and wind-borne debris off the glass. Some insurers take a view on security shutters after a break-in — worth a call to yours rather than to us.
