Planning and safety in Castle Douglas
In Castle Douglas, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.
- Planning: Front-door shutters change how the house looks from the street, so check with your council first, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building.
- Getting out safely: A shutter over an exit door must open from inside quickly and without a key. We set the switch inside the door and add a manual override.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get out if the door shutter is down?
Yes. The control is inside, and we fit a manual override so the shutter can be raised by hand if the power is off. We will not fit a shutter over your only exit that needs a key from inside.
Can it be opened from outside?
With a key switch, keypad or remote, yes. Without one, it can only be opened from inside, which suits back doors.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Castle Douglas?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
