Manual to electric conversion in Wednesbury: the essentials
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. 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. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Specification options
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
