Cross-Guard’s premium Extendor Vulcan security grille (certified security grille)
What are Extendor Vulcan security grilles?
Exclusive to Cross-Guard as part of the market-leading Extendor range, the Extendor Vulcan security grille is certified to LPS 1175 SR2 by the LPCB. Extendor Vulcan security grilles deliver proven resistance against hacksaws and electric drills as one of Cross-Guard’s highest strength security grilles, protecting windows, doorways and various other building openings and access points. Vulcan security grilles are the only security grilles other than Extendor Eclipse to protect against bolt cutters.
Vulcan security grilles are commonly used in high-security environments such as government and embassy buildings. For unrivalled strength, clients often choose the Extendor Eclipse to secure lower floor access points, while using the Extendor Vulcan or Elite security grilles for upper floor windows. The Extendor Vulcan is suitable for the high security of all entry and access points/openings and can be used in combination with the Extendor Elite or Eclipse security grilles due to an identical appearance. The Vulcan security grille’s bold design creates a strong visual deterrent, while also providing a heavy-duty physical barrier for the protection of your premises.
Available in a range of sizes and colours to suit your requirements, Extendor Vulcan security grilles can be manufactured as fixed or retractable grilles. The Vulcan security grille operates an enhanced, bespoke CL03 multi-point locking system. Cylinders are individually pinned and keyed in-house at our dedicated Scunthorpe manufacturing facility for security grilles.
A core advantage of the Extendor range of security grilles is the fact they are uniform in appearance so, if you’d prefer a different level of certified security for the lower floors of your building compared to upper floors, you can install different Extendor grilles while keeping the same uniform design. Extendor Vulcan security grilles have a straight, hardened steel lattice/link design.
Cross-Guard’s Extendor Vulcan security grilles are easy to install with straight-forward fitting and maintenance instructions provided to you with the security grille. Requiring limited maintenance, it’s recommended you use a dry cloth to occasionally dust Extendor Vulcan security grilles. You can also use a wet cloth with mild detergent on the Vulcan security grille.

What does it mean for the Extendor Vulcan security grille to be LPCB certified to LPS 1175 SR2 ?
As the Extendor Vulcan is a certified security grille, it is manufactured to set standards and externally tested and approved by the LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board). The Extendor Vulcan security grille is proven to withstand attack from certain tools for a specification duration of time. Vulcan grilles are tested with the following tools to achieve the LPS 1175 SR2 security grille rating:
- Pry bar
- Screwdriver
- Wrench knife
- Glass cutter
- Knife
- Pliers
- Bolt cutters
- Hacksaw
- Pipe wrench
- Claw hammer
- Hand drill
Vulcan security grilles are tested by the LPCB for a maximum duration of 15 minute with certified resistance against all the above tools. Majority of intruders and thieves typically spend less than 1 minute trying to gain access to a building, which means Vulcan grilles provide the ideal deterrent. By increasing attack time required, Vulcan certified security grilles encourage thieves and other intruders to move on to easier targets where there is less security in place. Thieves are 300% more likely to target a building without security in place.

Extendor Vulcan security grille components
Extendor Vulcan security grilles are manufactured with straight lattices/links (the cross-sections of the Vulcan grille), which are held together between pickets. With no visible/vulnerable rivets, the Extendor Vulcan grid is fully secured at the top rail and track with tempered aluminium carriers and guides. Case-hardened components are used in Vulcan security grilles, in conjunction with rotating rods and drill-resistant cylinders, in order to protect against attack using a drill.
Extendor Vulcan security grilles operate by a wheel rolling in the top track if a retractable grille is requested. Since the Vulcan security grille is top hung, there is less risk of anything blocking the bottom track or hindering operation of the security grille. The bespoke locking mechanism utilises a high security kaba cylinder for leading protection and increased attack resistance.
The Extendor Vulcan security grille is available with options including a recessed track, channel rail, or deep rail, where the grille track is installed into the ground. This enhances access for pushchairs and wheelchairs, providing the security grille with a more professional finish that has minimal components on display.
