What to know about manual to electric conversion in Limavady
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.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
What's included
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
