What to know about manual to electric conversion in Farnborough
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
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.
Specification options
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
