How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

Rules in Scotland
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.
