What to know about manual to electric conversion in Crawley
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.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Specification options
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains

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.
