How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
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.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Can any manual shutter be converted?
