Manual roller shutters in Carrickfergus: the essentials

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

Push-up shutters use a tensioned spring in the barrel to balance the curtain, so a person can lift it with a pole or by hand. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

Specification options

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Can be converted to electric later

Rules in Northern Ireland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Carrickfergus?

Yes. Carrickfergus (BT38) is within our County Antrim coverage, along with nearby Newtownabbey, Bangor (County Down) and Larne.

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 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 you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
