How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
