Manual roller shutters in Dunstable: the essentials

Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

Specification options

  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

Where we work around Dunstable

Jobs in Dunstable are planned as part of our Bedfordshire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Leighton Buzzard, Harpenden and Berkhamsted. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Dunstable

Do you cover Dunstable?

Yes. Dunstable (LU6) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Leighton Buzzard, Harpenden and Berkhamsted.

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.

Can I add a motor later?

Yes, in many cases. If the curtain, barrel and box are in good order, a tube motor and key switch can be fitted. See our manual-to-electric conversion service.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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