What to know about manual to electric conversion in Bathgate
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
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.
Options we can specify
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
