- ✓Style 2: Mounts to the face of a wall or beam to connect two shades | Dual shade

Can I attach the roll up mechanism to a post or wall?
Yes. The Style 7 mounting bracket is made for wall, bollard or column mounting.

Can they be portable?
They are not made to be portable, but you can use them that way if you have a way to hold them in place. Some customers mount them on dollies and tie the dolly off to a post, beam, or other fixed object. (SB-2000 model shown.)

Can the shades be locked so no one can open them?
Yes. Make sure your quote says "padlockable" and we will weld a 1" loop to the receiving hook you choose, at no extra charge. You can then padlock the shade in the extended position.

Does the SB-3000 meet OSHA standards as a railing?
No. It is not a fall protection device, it is a visual barrier only. AKON does not carry anti-fall devices.
“The retractable SB-2000 has performed exceptionally well for our application. The shade is easy to pull out, and it attaches quickly and easily to the opposing post. It has increased our safety by limiting access to visitors. I would highly recommend it.”
James - Borg Warner
“The guarding has been a great asset for our production people. Before it was in place, we had a few safety issues with personnel coming too close to the mechanical pinch points of the machinery. The safety barrier was very easy to install and has been performing great. We are looking to purchase more in the near future.”
Samantha - Lockheed Martin
“The process from getting a quote from AKON to procurement of the safety barrier was very efficient. It is a well-made safety device which has allowed us to meet OSHA standards for an area that was otherwise dangerous. We have had no issues with the retractable guarding, and its ease of operation is quite impressive.”
