Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Kilburn
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
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
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
