Manual to electric conversion in Lisburn: the essentials
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
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.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
