An electric roller shutter is usually the motorized door you see on a shop or a mall entrance. It is a series of jointed slats linked in a chain, rotating around a fixed shaft above the opening. This electric roller shutter installation guide walks through the method our installers use on site.
How to Install an Electric Roller Shutter
- Site survey. A RHIDOOR engineer visits at the agreed time to survey the site at no charge, confirm the size, the install method, and your requirements, then we build the roller shutter to match.
- Delivery and tools. Our delivery team brings the shutter and a pro installer to site. Before work, get the tools ready: welder, electric hammer, hand drill, ladder, drill bits, cutting head, level, screwdrivers, and the small fittings.
- Mark the lines. From the site, mark a line 50 cm above the side-plate opening. Use a level to mark a vertical line 13 cm from the opening, then a vertical line 9 cm from the auxiliary plate on the frame. Fix the side plate on the vertical line, and mark a horizontal line at its highest point.
- Test the handle and motor. Fix the motor to the main board, link the wheel to the motor base with a chain, and connect the remote box to the motor. Check whether the handle is reversed; if the remote receiver is mounted upside down, pull the built-in black button.
- Weld it solid. After setting the right size, weld the electric roller shutter firmly to the shaft so the drill can bore vertically and seat. Check the power is live. Pull the track into a saw-tooth shape, level the shutter, confirm the upper and lower lines are right, then raise it with the screw.
- Check and test. After power on, pull the switch to run a lift demo and confirm there is no fault. Check the track is smooth and clean, and the button does not bounce or fail.
