How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge.
A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
What's included
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
