Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Elgin
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Specification options
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
