How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
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.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Options we can specify
- Manual override for power cuts
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
