How To Look After Your Roller Shutter
A little maintenance goes a long way. Here are tips we give our commercial clients:
- Listen to your motor. If it starts making grinding or straining noises, call an engineer before it burns out completely.
- 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.
- Do not grease the inside of the guide rails with thick grease — it attracts dirt. Use a light silicone spray if necessary.

How We Solved A Common Motor Issue in Vauxhall
