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.
Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.
What's included
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Smart and timer control options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Safety checks on handover
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Limits set and tested

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.
