How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Features to choose from
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
