How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

- No power supply or electrician needed
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Stroud
Do you cover Stroud?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Stroud. We also cover nearby Cirencester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury.
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.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
