Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Rawtenstall
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
