Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Newton Stewart
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
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.
Features to choose from
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
