Secure Your Entry Points: Nautilus Pull-Down Shutters for Doors & Lanais

Not every threat to your Florida home comes with a name and a forecast. While hurricane season grabs headlines, the real risk to your property lasts year-round, and it often starts at the front door or back lanai. These two areas are some of the most commonly overlooked entry points, leaving homes vulnerable not just to storms, but also to theft, water intrusion, and unexpected pressure failures during high-wind events.
Why Secure Your Entry Points, Doors and Lanais, with Nautilus Pull-Down Shutters?
At Jansen Shutters & Specialties (JSS), we believe storm protection and home security should work together, not separately. That’s why more homeowners across Sarasota County and the Gulf Coast are choosing Nautilus pull-down shutters to protect their most vulnerable areas: front doors, lanais, and large glass openings.
These sleek, code-compliant systems offer more than just hurricane protection. They deliver year-round entry point security without compromising your home’s design, visibility, or lifestyle.
Whether you're a full-time resident or a seasonal homeowner, securing your entry points with smart, storm-rated shutters isn’t just a good idea, it’s essential.
Why Front Doors Need More Than a Deadbolt

Your front door may look strong, but it’s one of the most common entry points for both storm damage and break-ins. Even with reinforced glass or a quality lock, an exposed front entry is vulnerable to wind-borne debris, pressure changes, and forced access.
Nautilus pull-down shutters offer next-level protection by:
Fully enclosing your entry with hurricane-rated strength
Blocking wind, rain, and flying debris during storms
Providing a visual and physical deterrent to intruders
Rolling up discreetly when not in use, no bulky panels or hardware
These shutters give your entryway the protection it needs, without sacrificing the look of your home’s façade.
Lanais: Beautiful, But Exposed

Lanais are the heart of Florida outdoor living, but they’re often left wide open when it comes to security and storm prep. With oversized sliding doors, outdoor kitchens, and valuable furniture, your lanai needs real defense, not just a screen.
Nautilus pull-down shutters are ideal for:
Securing lanais, patios, and pool enclosures
Protecting large glass sliders and outdoor entertaining areas
Adding privacy and shade when deployed
Deploying quickly before a storm, or when leaving for travel
They let you enjoy open-air living without the stress of exposure.
Two Threats. One Smart Solution.
What makes Nautilus shutters stand out is their dual-purpose design:
💨 Storm-rated and code-compliant (meets Florida Building Code for HVHZ)
🏡 Year-round security for seasonal residents or full-time homeowners

Whether it’s a named storm or an opportunistic break-in, these shutters roll down fast, and lock tight. They can even be paired with solar battery backups to remain operable during power outages.
