How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain. Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays.

Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds. Steel shutters are the usual base for fire-rated and many LPS 1175 rated shutters.

Specification options

  • Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Manual, crank or electric operation
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Wicket doors on industrial doors
  • Powder coating available over galvanising

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

  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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Rochester?

Yes. Rochester (ME1) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.

Are steel shutters noisy?

Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium. If noise matters, insulated double-skin laths and a well-adjusted motor help.

Will a steel shutter rust?

Galvanising protects the steel, and powder coating adds a further layer. Scratches and damage should be touched up so moisture cannot reach bare metal.

Is steel more secure than aluminium?

Generally yes. Steel laths are harder to cut and dent, which is why steel is used for industrial and higher-risk premises. For independently tested resistance, look for an LPS 1175 rating.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
