Manual to electric conversion in Westminster: the essentials
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.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Specification options
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
