All the mechanisms we sell are suitable for roller shutters, garage doors or awnings. In case you have an awning, the outer diameter of the existing shaft is enough for us to recommend the right product for your needs. We trade motors of various types but for the specific case of the awning we would suggest a wired or wireless motor , definitely with an attachment to accept a crank handle , so you can be sure that you can still work in case of a power failure. Call us at 210-3009518 for more information.
