How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.
Specification options
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain

Questions about electric roller shutters in Kirkcudbright
Do you cover Kirkcudbright?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Kirkcudbright and the DG6 district, as part of our coverage across Dumfries & Galloway.
What happens to an electric shutter in a power cut?
Every electric shutter we supply has a manual override, so it can be wound or released by hand until the power returns.
Are safety edges always needed?
Not always. It depends on the risk assessment: who uses the opening, whether people or vehicles pass under it, and how the shutter is controlled. Hold-to-run key switches on a shopfront often need less than an automatic industrial door.
How long do shutter motors last?
With regular servicing a good tube motor typically lasts many years. Heavy daily use, an overweight curtain or misaligned guides shorten its life, which is why servicing matters.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
