Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Highlands & Islands

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.

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Specification options

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

Covering Highlands & Islands

We cover Highlands & Islands from Inverness to Fort William, Kirkwall and Stornoway, with 6 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Highlands & Islands

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
