Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Forfar

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

Options we can specify

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

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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Forfar

Do you cover Forfar?

Yes. Forfar (DD8) is within our Dundee & Angus coverage, along with nearby Arbroath and Montrose.

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 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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
