Downpatrick shutter FAQ
Q.What is the lead time for a Downpatrick 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.Do you cover units around Downpatrick Business Park?
Yes, Downpatrick Business Park and the surrounding Downpatrick commercial area are on our regular service routes.
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 Downpatrick.
Q.Can we keep the window display visible in Downpatrick?
Yes. Punched vision lath or a brick-bond grille keeps the display readable overnight while still presenting a physical barrier.
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.
