Product Description
Our steel roller shutters with wicket doors incorporated into them are perfect for commercial or industrial apertures up to 10m wide and 6m high.
When open, the shutter provides an almost unobstructed aperture as the shutter and mechanism roll up above the doorway and out of the way of the opening.
However, if there is no personnel door or other access into the building, having a wicket access door will provide a more convenient method of entry.

Key Features
- Can be powder coated or plastisol coated to any RAL Colour

FAQs
What are roller shutters with a wicket door?
A roller shutter with a wicket door is a secure shutter that includes a built-in pedestrian access door. This design allows easy entry without fully opening the shutter, making it ideal for warehouses, garages, and commercial spaces.
What are the advantages of a roller shutter with a wicket door?
A wicket door provides pedestrian access without requiring the full shutter to be opened. This improves convenience, enhances security, and contributes to energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary heat loss or air exchange.
Why is it called a wicket door?
The term "wicket door" originates from medieval times when small doors were built within larger gates to allow easy passage without opening the entire entrance. This concept is carried forward in roller shutters, providing pedestrian access without lifting the full shutter.
How does a wicket door work?
A wicket door is a small pedestrian access door built within a roller shutter. It allows people to pass through without opening the entire shutter, improving accessibility and energy efficiency. It includes secure locking mechanisms to maintain security.
Do roller shutters with a wicket door require a statutory inspection?
In the UK, industrial and commercial roller shutters, including those with wicket doors, must undergo regular inspections under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). Domestic installations do not have statutory inspection requirements.
How hard is it to break into a roller shutter with a wicket door?
A properly secured roller shutter with a wicket door is highly resistant to break-ins. The steel construction, reinforced hinges, and advanced locking systems make unauthorised access extremely challenging.

Prices for roller shutters with wicket doors typically range from £1,500 to £5,000, depending on size, material, automation, and security features. Custom or insulated options may cost more.
