Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in South Ockendon
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains

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.
