Common Shutter Faults We Repair in Harrow

Emergency Shutter Repair — Available 24/7

Keep Your Electric Shutter Working Longer
Regular maintenance prevents most emergency shutter repair call-outs. Start with these:
- Do not grease the inside of the guide rails with thick grease — it attracts dirt. Use a light silicone spray if necessary.
- Keep the shutter guide rails completely clear of debris, dirt, and stones to prevent the curtain from jamming.
- 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.
Insurance & Regulatory Compliance
Most commercial insurance policies require documented maintenance of security shutters. We provide full compliance reports and can arrange annual contract visits to inspect motors and safety brakes.
