By Mary Roberts


When you own your own home or business premises you will need it to be secure. The property will need to be well protected against storms, fire damage and intruders and you may choose to fit some steel shutters. If you are searching for a company to supply roll up steel doors there are a few place to order from and some care is needed before you make a purchase.

Roll up doors are made from steel and they can be fitted on the outside of your windows and doors to provide protection. Any size can be ordered and there are also many color options to choose from. There is also the option to have customized rollers made and this is useful if you need an odd size or something out of the ordinary.

The roll up doors that are available will usually be offered with a couple of options on the way they open and close. The cheapest option is to order a manual roller which means you will have to pull the door up and down. If you want to spend more you can have a motorized shutter which is controlled by a switch or a remote unit which is useful for a garage door.

There are also shutters that are fire retardant which are manufactured using special treatments so that they withstand high temperatures. Some people will need a storm rated door if they live somewhere that experiences severe weather. All of the products can be locked by using padlocks or bolts and there is the option to add a more secure locking system if it is required.

There are a lot of firms that supply these security products and you should get price quotes from a few suppliers before you make a decision. There are phone numbers in the local directory for firms and you may see adverts around town. A large number of companies will place adverts in the local press and they will advertise in magazines and hardware stores.

The internet is also a good place to find a supplier and many firms will advertise their products and services online. When you log on to their web sites you will see a list of products which feature color pictures, descriptions and a price. Most web sites will have a testimonials page for you to read customer comments and a contact link if you need to ask any questions.

After selecting a firm you will need to place an order for either a stock shutter or submit the measurements for a custom order. If you are having a door manufactured then you may have to wait a short while before it is delivered. Standard products are normally shipped on a next day service and the company can install your shutter for a fee.

It is important that you keep your roll up doors well maintained so that they operate well and last longer. They will need to be cleaned properly on a regular basis and the runners; hinges and motors will need to be lubricated. Your product will be guaranteed for a period of time and it is important to keep your purchase receipt in case you need repairs doing under these guarantees.
