Middle Box: The bars are face fixed by extending the width outside the reveal. Middle box section is only supplied when the height of the barrier exceeds 1 metre.
Fixing Bracket: Middle box section is fitted inside the reveal using the fixing bracket.

Each individual solid steel bar is 20mm in diameter and has been designed to rotate through 360 degrees to make attack very difficult.
