How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
