How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
What's included
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
