How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit.
Options we can specify
- Limits set and tested
- Smart and timer control options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Motors matched to curtain weight
