Rules that apply in Dalkeith
As a Scottish town, Dalkeith follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- 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.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
