What to know about manual to electric conversion in Barking
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.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
