Project Overview
The existing shutter system at Walmart Fredericton North Supercentre’s Pharmacy was damaged and not raising or lowering properly.
In addition, Walmart was seeking a new counter shutter solution that would close behind their glass partitions allowing easier access to lock and secure the Pharmacy after business hours.
Northern Dock Systems (NDS) supplied and installed 6500 series rolling steel counter shutters. The new rolling steel shutters used pull cords to manually lift the shutter and awning crank handles for extra accessibility. Manual lift/lowering simplifies the product (i.e., without the use of any electronic mechanisms) to extend the lifespan of the product and reduce maintenance costs.
NDS also recommended moving the glass partitions to the store side of the counter, allowing the new shutters to close and secure on the Pharmacy side of the glass partition. Relocating the glass partitions also allowed for Walmart employees to have easier access to the shutters and their locking mechanisms.
Employees are now able to use the new 6500 series shutters to lock the Pharmacy after business hours easily and securely.
