How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
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.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
What's included
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks

Rules in Scotland
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery.

In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
