Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Whitefield
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Features to choose from
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks

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.
