Description
Raising and lowering a heavy metal shutter by hand every day is tiring, wears out the springs and, at closing time, leaves the business owner with their back to the street for several minutes. A roller shutter motor does the job with a button or a remote, and closing up becomes much faster.
There are two main types. A central motor mounts on the shutter's axle, between the springs, and is the most common choice for storefronts. A side motor sits at one end of the axle and suits large shutters or cases where there's no room in the middle. To choose, we measure the width and height of the shutter, check the condition of the slats, guides and axle, and estimate the weight, because a bent shutter or one with dented guides needs to be fixed first.
Every motor has a way to raise the shutter by hand when the power goes out, with a chain or a crank depending on the model. If the business needs to open during power outages, backup power can be added.

Frequently asked questions
Can you put a motor on my old shutter?
Yes, if the slats, guides and axle are in good condition. We check during the visit and, if anything needs repairing, we tell you first.
How do I open the shutter when the power goes out?
With the chain or crank that comes with the motor for manual operation. If you need motorized opening during outages, we can quote a backup power unit.
