Electric or Manual: Choosing the Right Roller Shutter Door

Posted on 10/12/2015 Four roller shutter doors

In our recent blog about the Titan roller shutter door installation our team carried out in Fakenham, we explained how these fantastic door systems can be supplied with a choice of manual or electric operating systems. If you are considering having a door of this kind installed, we would always recommend that you seek advice from a professional in order to select the most appropriate operating system for your business.


In our experience, the choice will often be influenced by:


  • The amount of money you are looking to invest in the door system
  • The way that your business operates
  • The need to save energy and reduce costs

The electrically operated door system is all about providing convenience and this makes them an incredibly popular system with many of the clients we work with. Each system can be quickly and easily operated at the touch of a button, allowing foot traffic and vehicles to come and go without the hassle of having to manually raise and lower the door. All of our electrically operated systems incorporate relevant safety devices to ensure that the door cannot close whilst an obstruction is in its path.


Alternatively, if you are looking for a more affordable option, you may want to consider a manual shutter. As these systems will commonly be operated using a hand chain, you should consider the amount of traffic which will be passing through the door each day. If you or your staff are having to regularly open and close the door during the day, this could become a physically tiring and time consuming task.
