Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Ashton-under-Lyne
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Features to choose from
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
