- Power: A suitable supply is needed near the shutter box; electrical work is done to BS 7671.
- Safety devices: Converting a commercial door to powered operation means adding suitable safety devices and commissioning them.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Aberdeen
Can any manual shutter be made electric?
Most can, as long as the curtain, barrel and guides are in reasonable condition. Very old or damaged shutters may be better replaced.
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Aberdeen?
It depends on the property. Like-for-like replacements do not usually need permission, but a new external shutter or a change of type or position can, especially on shopfronts and listed buildings. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
