Abstract: A rolling shutter assembly including a plurality of interconnecting slats each having an elongated body with a top, bottom, and two sides. Connectors are affixed to the top and bottom of each slat, and a retainer member is attached to each side of each slat. The slats are connected to each other by the hooking together the connectors of the slats. The slats are placed within two tracks located on either side of an opening, and are movable between an open and closed position in between the two tracks. The tracks have retention ledges, contact material holders, and two chambers. In operation, the retention members attached to the slats come into contact with the retention ledges of the tracks when a force is applied to the shutter assembly, thereby preventing the slats from becoming dislodged from the tracks.
