Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Hemel Hempstead
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Options we can specify
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
