How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
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.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
