Can Multiple Shutters Be Grouped Under One Control System?

Modern security and roller shutters are designed with convenience and flexibility in mind, and one of the most common questions we receive is whether multiple shutters can be operated together using a single control system. The answer is yes—group control is possible and often recommended for certain scenarios.

How Does Group Control Work?

Group control allows several shutters to be operated simultaneously from one switch, remote, or control panel. This means you can open or close a set of shutters at the same time, streamlining daily routines and improving efficiency—especially in commercial or multi-access properties.

Recommended Group Size

While it is technically possible to link a larger number of shutters, industry best practice and our recommendation is to group up to four shutters under a single control system. This ensures:

Reliable and consistent operation

Reduced electrical load on the control unit

Minimised risk of faults due to overloading

Greater safety and ease of troubleshooting

Benefits of Group Control

Convenience: Open or close multiple shutters at once with a single action.

Time-saving: Ideal for businesses or homes with several access points.

Security: Ensures all shutters are secured at the same time, reducing the risk of leaving one open by mistake.
