How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.
What's included
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Spring-balanced push-up operation

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Milton Keynes?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Milton Keynes. We also cover nearby Bletchley, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill.
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.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
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.
