How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover. Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. 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. Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced.
What's included
- Safety checks on handover
- Smart and timer control options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors

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 Glasgow & Dunbartonshire
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.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
