Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Torquay

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.

Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.

Specification options

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

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 Torquay?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Torquay and the TQ2 district, as part of our coverage across Devon.

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 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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
