What to know about manual to electric conversion in Felixstowe
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. 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. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
