What to know about manual roller shutters in Oban

Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • No power supply or electrician needed

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Before you book in Oban

Do you cover Oban?

Yes. Oban (PA34) is within our Argyll & Bute coverage, along with the rest of Argyll & Bute.

What is the widest manual shutter?

Push-up shutters work best up to about 3m wide. Wider or heavier curtains are normally fitted with a hand crank or a motor so they can be operated safely.

Why is my manual shutter so heavy to lift?

Usually the spring in the barrel has lost tension or the guides need cleaning. A shutter engineer can re-tension the spring, which is far cheaper than replacing the shutter.

Are manual shutters less secure than electric ones?

Not inherently. Security comes from the curtain, guides and locks. Manual shutters are secured with bottom-rail locks or padlocks, while electric shutters are held down by the motor and locks.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
