What to specify

Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.

Powered door rules that apply in Lancaster

Lancaster is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
