We aim to keep lead times as efficient as possible for the Manual Chain Operated Roller Shutter, with typical manufacturing taking approximately 4–5 weeks. Delivery is usually arranged shortly after completion. Please note that larger shutters or powder coated finishes may extend lead times slightly depending on specification.

For supply and installation projects, the full process typically takes 4–6 weeks. This includes an initial site survey to confirm sizes and installation requirements, followed by manufacture and scheduling of installation.

Due to the size and weight of steel shutters, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct alignment, smooth operation, and long-term reliability. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure accurate measurements and a straightforward installation.

Manual chain operated roller shutters are a cost effective alternative to electric shutters, offering strong security without the need for motors or electrical installation.
