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. 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.
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Can be converted to electric later
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Dundee?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Dundee. We also cover nearby Forfar, Arbroath and Perth.
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.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
