Manual to electric conversion in Newtownabbey: the essentials
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
What's included
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains

Rules in Northern Ireland
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
