Installing a manual drive roller shutter door requires careful consideration of the location, structural support, and ease of operation. Here are the best places to install one:
1. Retail Shops & Storefronts
- Ideal for security and weather protection.
- Commonly used in shopping complexes, malls, and standalone stores.
2. Garages & Warehouses
- Suitable for small garages or storage units where an electric motor isn’t necessary.
- Often used in industrial sheds or workshops.
3. Office Entrances & Security Gates
- Provides controlled access after business hours.
- Used in office buildings, banks, or government facilities.
4. Residential Properties
- Can be installed in:
- Main gates (for added security)
- Garages (if manual operation is preferred)
- Basement entries (for storage areas)
5. Industrial & Factory Units
- Used in loading bays, storage rooms, or utility areas.
Installation Requirements:
✔ Strong Overhead Support – Must be mounted on a sturdy lintel or steel frame.
✔ Proper Side Guides – Needed for smooth rolling.
✔ Adequate Space – Ensure enough headroom for the rolled-up shutter.
✔ Manual Operation Accessibility – Should be within easy reach for hand-cranking.
