How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

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.

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains

Covering Durham and nearby

Jobs in Durham are planned as part of our County Durham coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley. 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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Durham?

Yes. Durham (DH1) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

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.
