Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Liverpool
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Features to choose from
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

Rules in England
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.
