How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. 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. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
What's included
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

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.
