Manual to electric conversion in Hartlepool: the essentials
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Options we can specify
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains

Rules in England
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.

Before you book in Hartlepool
Do you cover Hartlepool?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hartlepool. We also cover nearby Peterlee, Billingham and Middlesbrough.
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 a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
