How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

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. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

Features to choose from

  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

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 Newtownabbey?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Newtownabbey and the BT36 district, as part of our coverage across County Antrim.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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