How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock. Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides.

A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal. Perforated or punched laths let light and window displays show through while the shutter is down.

Options we can specify

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them

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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

Security roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Houghton-le-Spring?

Yes. Houghton-le-Spring (DH4) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Washington and Seaham.

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.

Can a roller shutter be fitted inside the shop?

Yes. Internal shutters sit behind the glazing, which protects the stock and usually avoids external planning issues, although the glass itself is left exposed.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
