What to know about manual to electric conversion in Houghton-le-Spring
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
What's included
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

Rules in England
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.
