Roller security shutters for Ballykelly businesses
Facilities managers in Ballykelly come to us for testing and documentation as much as for the shutter itself.
On a detached housing we often fit internally where an external box would not suit the frontage.
12-month warranty plus optional planned maintenance across BT49.
Access on the A2 keeps emergency attendance to a Ballykelly unit tight.
Shutter specification for a Ballykelly unit
Ballykelly's ex-airfield industrial park has become a serious logistics location, we quote sectional and high-speed doors here far more than domestic. That shapes how we quote a security shutter job here.
Most of the commercial work we do around Ballykelly lands inside former airfield industrial and Shackleton commercial. Repeat installs come from word-of-mouth across those estates.
Ballykelly sits 60 mi from Belfast and 72 mi from our Dromore yard via the A2.

Shutter questions from Ballykelly businesses
Q.Are they electrically operated?
Most are, with a key switch or internal control, plus a manual override for power failure. Small openings can be manual with a spring balance.
Q.What is the difference between a security shutter and a fire shutter?
A security shutter resists forced entry. A fire shutter is a rated closure designed to hold a fire compartment for a specified period and is tested and certified as such. They are not interchangeable.
Q.Do you service shutters you did not install?
Yes, across Ballykelly and the wider BT49 area, including planned maintenance visits on multi-site estates.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Ballykelly where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.Do fire shutters need testing?
Yes. A fire shutter should be tested and its operation documented on a scheduled basis, and we include that in maintenance contracts across Ballykelly.
Q.Do you cover units around former airfield industrial?
Yes, former airfield industrial and the surrounding Ballykelly commercial area are on our regular service routes.
