Can I operate my roller shutter door manually if there is a power cut?

  Most industrial roller shutter doors are designed with some form of emergency manual operation so the door can be opened or closed in the event of a power failure. The exact method will depend on the motor type and installation height. Many direct drive and chain driven shutters have a manual chain or hand crank that allows trained personnel to operate the door at low speed when power is not available, usually after releasing a brake or following a specific safety procedure. For tube motored shutters, a manual override facility may be provided using a crank handle at low level, provided this is accessible and safe to use for the size and weight of the curtain. In some cases, particularly on very large or high risk openings, a separate emergency opening strategy may be required, such as a secondary exit route or backup power supply. Our team will always explain the manual operation method and any limitations as part of the handover so you can incorporate it into your site procedures.
