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. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Features to choose from
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Belfast
Do you cover Belfast?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Belfast. We also cover nearby Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Newtownards.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
