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. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Options we can specify
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
