Upgrade Your Manual Roller Shutter Door

Already have a manual roller shutter door?

Depending on the condition and design of the existing system, it may be possible to upgrade the door with a suitable motor and control system instead of replacing the complete roller shutter.

Our technicians can assess the existing door, its components and operating requirements to determine whether automation is practical and recommend an appropriate solution.

A successful conversion depends on more than simply adding a motor. The existing roller shutter needs to operate correctly, and the automation system must be appropriately matched to the door.

Different Applications

Roller shutter automation can be tailored around how and where the door is used.

Roller Shutter Door Motors

The motor is at the heart of an automated roller shutter system, which makes correct motor selection essential.

A motor that's unsuitable for the size, weight or operating demands of the door can lead to unreliable operation and unnecessary wear. We assess the application before recommending a motor suited to the roller shutter system.

Depending on the installation, automation may include the motor, control equipment, switches, remote controls and compatible safety or access-control components.

Roller Shutter Control Options

Automation isn't limited to a single way of opening your door. Depending on the system and application, different control options may be available.

Remote Control

Open and close compatible roller shutters using a handheld remote for convenient operation from nearby.

Push-Button Controls

A practical solution for commercial and industrial properties where authorised staff operate the door from a fixed location.

Key Switch Operation

Key-operated controls can restrict operation to authorised users and are suitable for many commercial environments.

Access Control Integration

For properties with existing access-control requirements, compatible roller shutter automation may be incorporated into a broader access solution.

Safety Systems

Where appropriate, compatible safety devices can be incorporated into the automation system to support safer operation.

We'll recommend controls based on how the door is used rather than adding features that your property doesn't need.
