How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
Specification options
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control

Rules in England
Electrical work
