How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Specification options
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.
