rolling shutter lateral/side guide (rail)/track


Explanation:
"Persianas" are rolling shutters, and both "lateral/side guide" (or "guide rail") and "track" are used. See refs.

A rolling window shutter operates in a manner similar to an old rolltop desk. It is mounted in outdoor ***tracks*** over a window or door and rolls up into a small box mounted above the window or door. The individual slats are typically about one to two inches tall and interlock with each other. The shutter is opened and closed from indoors.

Aluminum and steel rolling shutters put up an optimal resistance against attempts and are effective barriers to intrusion. We offer a large range of accessories which can be installed in different points of the rolling shuter to avoid lifting and/or unhinging from the ***guide rails***, which increases the security against thefts...Reinforced Steel Security Latch
Composed of a steel bar and locking handle; fixed on the end slat; manually operated and introduced into the wall and ***lateral guide rails***; avoids bottom lifting of the shutter.
