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.

The roll up shutters are constructed using steel and are fitted to the outside of a building to cover the windows and existing doors. There are standard sizes that can be ordered and they are available in virtually any color. You can also place an order for custom shutters if you have an odd size area that needs securing or something that is not standard.

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.

When your roll up door has been fitted you need to look after it properly to keep it in good condition. It needs to be kept clean and the moving parts need oiling regularly to stop them from seizing up. Most shutters will be supplied with a time based warranty and you should retain your receipt for payment in case you need repair work doing under the manufacturer warranty.
