    Electric roller shutter

    Morning! Any reason why it wouldn't be possible to have two roller shutters connected to one spring return key switch? Both shutters fed from the same circuit, currently have 1 keyswitch per shutter but a customer wants 2 on one.

    Which electric heater would you recommend?
