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. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Options we can specify
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.
