How We Solved A Common Motor Issue in Epping
A warehouse in Epping 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.
What Usually Goes Wrong — Common Shutter Faults in Epping
Our engineers working across Epping see these faults regularly. Many involve the electric motor or curtain links:
- Misaligned end locks causing the curtain to track badly
- Broken key switches and rocker switches
- Attempted break-in damage leaving shutters insecure
- Burnt out control boards and electrical receivers
- Jammed shutter curtains snagged in the guide rails
How To Look After Your Roller Shutter
Simple habits that extend the life of your shutter motor and curtain:
- 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.
- Listen to your motor. If it starts making grinding or straining noises, call an engineer before it burns out completely.
