How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
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.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
What's included
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
