Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Antrim
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Options we can specify
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Antrim?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Antrim and the BT41 district, as part of our coverage across County Antrim.
Can any manual shutter be converted?
Most can, if the curtain, barrel and box are in good condition. Very worn or damaged shutters are better replaced, and we tell you which at survey.
Do I need an electrician?
The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
