Locksmith Kev “The Emergency Shutter Guy” & Roller Shutter Newcastle

⚠️ Are Your Roller Shutters Operating Legally After Remote Upgrades? ⚠️ There’s been a rise in companies advertising roller shutter fob changes and upgrades on LinkedIn—but are these shutters still operating within the law? In many cases, we’ve seen remote operation enabled on powered roller shutters without the necessary safety systems in place, such as safety edges. This raises serious concerns about compliance with UK safety regulations under BS EN 12453. 🔴 The Problem: Without a safety edge, roller shutters must operate in deadman mode. Despite this requirement, some companies are creating a significant risk of injury and leaving property owners or businesses potentially liable in the event of an accident. 💬 What Does This Mean for You? If your roller shutters have been modified or had their remote systems upgraded, they may no longer comply with legal standards. In addition to safety risks, this could result in costly liabilities if an accident occurs. At Locksmith Kev and The Emergency Shutter Guy, we’re committed to ensuring all modifications and installations prioritise compliance and safety. If you’ve had recent changes made, it might be time to take a closer look.

Another action-packed day at Locksmith Kev and The Emergency Shutter Guy! • The morning began with an emergency repair to a roller shutter garage door damaged after a collision. The safety edge wasn’t correctly calibrated, so after fixing the top straps and recalibrating, everything was running smoothly again. • While I was handling that, the team conducted essential void property checks in the local area to keep homes and businesses secure. • Later, I decoded a keysafe for a landlord who’d misplaced the code, ensuring access to their apartment. • To top it all off, I helped out a leading debt collection agency (DCA) with a last-minute SOS call. It was a fast-paced day, but we always rise to the challenge when it matters most. ☎ 07415 714590 🌐 LocksmithKev.co.uk From emergency shutter repairs to property security and lockouts, we deliver affordable, professional, DBS-checked services with no call-out fees or VAT.

Busy Days, Big Wins, and the Thrill of the Job This morning started with a great catch-up with an old work colleague-he looks 10 years younger! Then it was straight into action with a roller shutter door service, finishing just now after a challenging emergency lockout situation. The call? Someone was locked inside their apartment. The security chain was on, and the bathroom handle had failed, leaving them stuck for over two hours until their cries for help were heard and I was called. Since October, the business has seen a fantastic upturn, and here we are, busy in January—a time I never expected to be this active.

Most people might crumble under the pace, but the sense of achievement and the thrill of earning a hard day’s wage is an adrenaline rush like no other. I’ve just sat down now, but I’d go straight back out for another challenge—it’s that endorphin hit that drives me. Here’s to another day of solving problems, helping people, and doing what I love! 📞 Need help? Call me at 07415714590.

Sunday, freezing cold… but nothing stops Roller Shutter Newcastle! This weekend, we had the pleasure of helping a 92-year-old Newcastle United fan replace his garage door. According to him, it was the wind (and maybe a runaway bin lid) that took out the old curtain. But we suspect the bin lid had a bigger role to play! He chose a black insulated aluminium shutter to match the white frame, staying true to his black and white Newcastle colours. “Too many Mackems in South Shields!” he joked. From wind-damaged shutters to customised solutions, Roller Shutter Newcastle is here to secure your property—even on freezing Sundays. 📞 Need help? Call us at 07415 714590.
