Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Dunoon
A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter. Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit.
Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced.
Specification options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Smart and timer control options
- Limits set and tested
- Safety checks on handover

Rules in Scotland
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.

Before you book in Dunoon
Do you cover Dunoon?
Yes. Dunoon (PA23) is within our Argyll & Bute coverage, along with nearby Greenock, Clydebank and Paisley.
Can you fit a motor to a different make of shutter?
Usually yes, by matching the motor size and torque to the barrel and curtain.
Do I need a new key switch too?
Not always. If the switch works and is compatible, it can stay. Worn or weather-damaged switches are often replaced at the same time.
How do I know if the motor has failed?
Signs include humming without movement, stopping at random, overheating or not responding at all. The fault can also be the switch, receiver or power, so an engineer checks those first.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
