How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. 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.

What's included

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation

Covering Dundee & Angus

We cover Dundee & Angus from Dundee to Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Your questions answered

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

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

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
