How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available.
A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Before you book in Colchester
Do you cover Colchester?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in Colchester and the CO1 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.
Do electric shutters still work in a power cut?
Electric shutters are fitted with a manual override, usually a hand crank or a release, so the shutter can be opened or closed without power.
How long does a roller shutter take to fit?
Most single shopfront shutters are fitted in a day once they have been made. Wider frontages, steel-framed openings or new power supplies can add time, and we confirm the installation day with your quote.
Should I choose aluminium or steel?
Aluminium is lighter, quieter and resists corrosion, so it suits most shops and offices. Galvanised steel is heavier and harder to cut through, so it is often chosen for industrial units and higher-risk premises.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
