Manual to electric conversion in Hayes: the essentials
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Specification options
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
