Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Sudbury
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Specification options
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
