What to know about manual to electric conversion in Harpenden
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Features to choose from
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Harpenden
Do you cover Harpenden?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Harpenden. We also cover nearby St Albans, Luton and Hemel Hempstead.
Do I need an electrician?
The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
