Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Montrose
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.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
What's included
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Montrose
Do you cover Montrose?
Yes. Montrose (DD10) is within our Dundee & Angus coverage, along with nearby Arbroath and Forfar.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Do I need an electrician?
The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.
Can any manual shutter be converted?
Most can, if the curtain, barrel and box are in good condition. Very worn or damaged shutters are better replaced, and we tell you which at survey.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
