What to know about manual roller shutters in Barnet
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
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.
Specification options
- 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
- Can be converted to electric later

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 Barnet?
Yes. Barnet (EN5) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Potters Bar, Borehamwood and Finchley.
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 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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
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.
