How To Look After Your Roller Shutter
Regular maintenance prevents most emergency shutter repair call-outs. Start with these:
- Have your shutters professionally serviced once a year to test the electrical safety and the mechanical safety brakes.
- Check your bullet locks and ground pins regularly. If they become stiff, a squirt of WD-40 can prevent the key from snapping in the lock.
- Test your emergency manual override once a month to ensure it works in the event of a power cut.
