How We Solved A Common Motor Issue in Braintree
A warehouse in Braintree had an industrial roller door that wouldn't lift. Another company told them they needed a full new door. We tested the electrics, identified a burnt-out tubular motor, replaced the motor unit from our van stock, and saved them thousands of pounds.
Signs Your Roller Shutter Needs Urgent Repair
Before a shutter jams completely, it usually shows clear signs. If you spot any of these issues, book a repair early:
- Visible physical damage to the guide channels or bottom slat
- Manual override failing during a power cut
- Control panel displaying error lights or emitting a burning smell
- Shutter motor making grinding, buzzing, or clicking noises
- Shutter dropping unlevel or unevenly in the guides
- Damaged or jammed bullet locks and ground pins
- Curtain sticking or jamming halfway up or down
- Broken or separated links in the shutter curtain
Preventing Shutter Breakdowns Before They Happen
Simple habits that extend the life of your shutter motor and curtain:
- Have your shutters professionally serviced once a year to test the electrical safety and the mechanical safety brakes.
- Never force a jammed electric shutter by repeatedly pressing the button — this will burn out the motor or snap the curtain links.
- Ensure nothing is left under the shutter when closing it. An obstruction can cause the shutter to spool backwards inside the box.
