How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.

Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.

Specification options

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • 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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Guildford?

Yes. Guildford (GU1) is within our Surrey coverage, along with nearby Godalming, Aldershot and Farnborough.

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 work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
