What to know about manual to electric conversion in Ashford (Kent)
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Features to choose from
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
