Shutter specification for a Cookstown unit
Cookstown's mile-long main street backs onto the Derryloran estate, most of our commercial calls here come off that one road. We build that into every Cookstown survey, not the price sheet.
Most of the commercial work we do around Cookstown lands inside Derryloran Industrial Estate and Molesworth Business Park. Repeat installs come from word-of-mouth across those estates.
Cookstown sits 42 mi from Belfast and 35 mi from our Dromore yard via the A29.

Shutter questions from Cookstown 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.Do you service shutters you did not install?
Yes, across Cookstown and the wider BT80 area, including planned maintenance visits on multi-site estates.
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.Will an insurer accept the shutter we fit?
Bring us the wording. We specify the curtain, guides and locking to the level the policy names, which is usually where a cheap shutter falls short.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Cookstown where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.What happens after an attempted break-in?
We attend, secure the opening, then quote repair or curtain replacement. Damaged laths can often be swapped individually rather than replacing the whole curtain.
