How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Options we can specify
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.
