What to know about manual to electric conversion in Islington
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Features to choose from
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
