Our door roller shutters service in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is part of our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, and addresses in the city's postcode districts are covered in the same way as the rest of Edinburgh & the Lothians. We also cover Dalkeith, Musselburgh and Kirkcaldy, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
For back doors, French doors and bifolds in Edinburgh, the shutter is sized to the full frame so the curtain closes onto a level threshold or a bottom rail.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Edinburgh has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.

Planning and safety in Edinburgh
As a Scottish city, Edinburgh 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.

Door roller shutters in Edinburgh: 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.
Are door shutters secure?
They add a strong physical layer in front of the door, especially with anti-lift locking. If you need a tested security rating, ask for a shutter certified to LPS 1175 or STS 202; the rating belongs to that tested product. PAS 24 applies to the door or window behind the shutter, not to the shutter itself.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Edinburgh?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
Do you cover Edinburgh?
