What to know about manual to electric conversion in Greenock
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks

Rules in Scotland
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.

The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.
