How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
What's included
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Cumbernauld?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Cumbernauld. We also cover nearby Airdrie, Coatbridge and Falkirk.
Can any manual shutter be converted?
Most can, if the curtain, barrel and box are in good condition. Very worn or damaged shutters are better replaced, and we tell you which at survey.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
