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. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.

Remote fobs, wall switches and timer controls can be combined, so staff can open up from the car or the shutter can close at a set time. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

Features to choose from

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

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.

  3. Written fixed price

Your questions answered

Do you cover Sunderland?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sunderland. We also cover nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring.

Do I need a new electrical circuit?

Usually not. Most shutters run from a fused spur near the shutter box. If there is no supply nearby, a new circuit is quoted separately and done by a qualified electrician.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

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.
