We generally use Heavy Duty Contacts, follow this link and it will tell you a bit more about it, the interconnecting cables are also protected by aluminium tube down the side of the shutter.

Brick it up !!

Or roller shutter contact on both sides if door is wider than 7 or 8 foot, always a dual tec inside as well.

I'd agree with all the above... from my experience investigating burglaries and ram-raids - I'd make sure that any shutters over 6ft-7ft wide have a contact on both sides..... I've seen a few roller shutters levered up on the opposite side to the contact - which as a resut failed to trigger the alarm... Covered PIR's didn't help either...
