- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.
- 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.

Door roller shutters in Newton Mearns: 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 Newton Mearns?
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.
Is the survey free in Newton Mearns?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
