Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Dumfries & Galloway

Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter. Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced.

Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.

What's included

  • Safety checks on handover
  • Motors matched to curtain weight
  • Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
  • Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
  • Limits set and tested
  • Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
Hands fitting a tubular motor into a roller shutter barrel

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Before you book in Dumfries & Galloway

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.

Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?

Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.

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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
