How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. 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 are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
What's included
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- 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 Lytham St Annes?
Yes. Lytham St Annes (FY8) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Blackpool, Southport and Thornton-Cleveleys.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
