How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit. After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover.
We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Options we can specify
- Obstacle detection options
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Safety checks on handover
- Limits set and tested

Rules in England

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.
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.
