Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Potters Bar

A tubular motor sits inside the barrel on most shop and domestic shutters, while larger doors use a direct-drive or chain motor on the end plate. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.

Specification options

  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Potters Bar?

Yes. Potters Bar (EN6) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Barnet, Enfield and Borehamwood.

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.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
