Is Your Shutter Motor Failing? Watch For These Signs
Before a shutter jams completely, it usually shows clear signs. If you spot any of these issues, book a repair early:
- Curtain sticking or jamming halfway up or down
- Shutter dropping unlevel or unevenly in the guides
- Damaged or jammed bullet locks and ground pins
- Remote fob, key switch, or rocker switch not responding
- Attempted break-in damage to the guides or curtain
- Shutter trips the electrics when operated

Shutter Maintenance Tips
A little maintenance goes a long way. Here are tips we give our commercial clients:
- Ensure nothing is left under the shutter when closing it. An obstruction can cause the shutter to spool backwards inside the box.
- Have your shutters professionally serviced once a year to test the electrical safety and the mechanical safety brakes.
- Do not grease the inside of the guide rails with thick grease — it attracts dirt. Use a light silicone spray if necessary.
Safety Compliance & Brakes
The Health and Safety at Work Act requires that all electrically operated shutters are maintained in safe working order. We inspect safety brakes (anti-fall devices) and limit switches on every repair visit to ensure compliance.
