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. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Options we can specify

  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Kirkwall

Do you cover Kirkwall?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Kirkwall. We also cover the rest of 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.

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.

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.

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.
