What to know about manual to electric conversion in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. 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. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
What's included
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts

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.
