Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Dartford
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Features to choose from
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
