All Roller Shutter Doors

What are Roller Shutters?

Roller shutters are protective barriers made up of interlocking horizontal slats, typically manufactured from steel or aluminium. They roll up neatly into a compact box above the opening, saving space while providing a strong, reliable layer of security.

Whether installed on a shopfront, warehouse, or home garage, roller shutters offer an effective balance of strength, privacy, and space efficiency - without the need for outward or inward door clearance.

They’re suitable for shops, offices, warehouses, homes, bars, and counters, virtually any setting that needs secure access control.

They can be installed either internally or externally, depending on your building layout and security requirements.
Our team will advise the best option based on space, aesthetics, and environmental exposure.
 

5. What security ratings are available?

We supply LPS1175 Security Rated shutters from SR1 to SR4, designed and tested to resist forced entry.
 

6. How are they operated?

7. Do I need planning permission?

Internal shutters don’t require planning permission. External shutters may require local authority approval depending on location and building type.
 

8. Can they be repaired or upgraded?

Yes, we stock a wide range of spare parts and offer repair services for slats, motors, and control systems.
 

9. What is a safe height for a roller shutter for HGV access?                                              

The recommended safe height for a roller shutter to accommodate Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) access is at least 4.5 meters. This height ensures safe and unobstructed entry and exit.  We recommend that you check the height of vehicles.
 

10. How easy are the roller shutters to operate and maintain?

Electric roller shutters are the easiest to operate, you just press a switch. Manual shutters require some physical force to operate. When selecting the operation of the roller shutter, bear in mind who will be operating the shutter and how easy it is to access ie; height and leaning across the counter. Electric operation is only a few hundred pounds more expensive than manual operation.
 

11. Are there any additional features or options available, such as remote control operation or noise-reducing properties?

Most electric roller shutters have the option of different controls, including Remote Control, Access Control, Keypads and Phone App Controls. To reduce the noise of the roller shutter, having brush seals in the guides can help.

These are just a few examples of the questions that people may have when considering purchasing roller shutters. Other factors to consider may include the cost, the level of insulation provided, and the overall aesthetic appearance of the shutters. It's important to do your research and ask any questions you may have to ensure that you choose the right roller shutters for your needs.


12. What are the strongest roller shutters?

Security-rated roller shutters are the strongest roller shutters, perfect for high-risk businesses. These shutters are put through various tests to ensure they can meet industry standards for forced entry resistance. 

Our security-rated shutters are tested to LPS1175 Security Rating levels 1-4 and are made from high-security materials.
 

13. Are Roller Shutters hard to install?

Roller shutters aren’t hard to install, however, it’s important to make sure that your roller shutter is installed correctly. We understand that for many customers who are installing their first security doors or replacing outdated systems the techniques needed aren’t always clear. Security systems are about peace of mind, and so we’ve designed our installation guides to help.
