Shutter specification for a Crossmaglen unit
South Armagh farm country, most Crossmaglen quotes are wide agri-openings, not domestic single-car garages. It's why a templated quote for Crossmaglen usually misses something.
Most of the commercial work we do around Crossmaglen lands inside Square-side units and Dundalk Road workshops. Repeat installs come from word-of-mouth across those estates.

Crossmaglen shutter FAQ
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.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.
Q.What is the lead time for a Crossmaglen unit?
3-5 weeks (made to opening), since curtains, boxes and guides are made to the actual opening. Emergency boarding and temporary security can be arranged sooner.
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.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.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 Crossmaglen.
