What to know about manual to electric conversion in Stranraer
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Features to choose from
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
