Manual-to-Electric Door Conversion
Many roller shutters and sectional doors that are operated by hand, by pushing up or turning a chain or crank, can be converted to electric operation by fitting a motor and a control unit. Staff then open and close the door with a push button, key switch or remote control instead of by hand.
Industrial Doors SW converts manual doors to electric across Devon and the South West. We check the condition of the existing door first, because a worn or poorly balanced door needs putting right before a motor is fitted, and we install the safety devices that a powered door needs.
What a conversion involves
- Inspecting the existing door, its springs and its balance
- Fitting a motor suited to the door's size and weight
- Adding controls such as push buttons, key switches or remote controls
- Fitting safety devices, such as safety edges and photocells, where required
- Testing the door and showing staff how to use it safely
