Manual to electric conversion in Camden Town: the essentials
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Specification options
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
