What to know about shutter motor replacement in Newton Stewart
Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.
A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.
Options we can specify
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Limits set and tested
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Safety checks on handover
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
