Manual to electric conversion in Barnes: the essentials
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Options we can specify
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
