Roller shutters are an excellent addition to any home or business. They provide security, privacy, and energy efficiency. Over time, however, the roller shutter belt may wear out or become damaged. In such cases, it’s important to know how to change the roller shutter belt yourself. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps required to change a roller shutter belt.

What you’ll need

  • Replacement roller shutter belt
  • Screwdriver
  • Pliers
  • Step ladder

Step 1: Remove the roller shutter cover

Before you can access the roller shutter belt, you need to remove the roller shutter cover. Start by locating the screws that hold the cover in place. Use a screwdriver to carefully remove these screws. Once all screws are removed, gently lift the cover off and set it aside.

Step 2: Disconnect the old belt

After removing the cover, you will find the roller shutter belt wrapped around a pulley system. Use pliers to gently pull the old belt away from the pulley system. Make sure to remember or take note of how the belt is connected to the pulley and guides, as this will help during the installation of the new belt.

Step 3: Install the new belt

Take the replacement roller shutter belt and align it with the pulley system. Follow the previous connection pattern you observed during the removal of the old belt. Ensure the belt is tightly wrapped around the pulley, as any slack may cause issues when operating the roller shutter. Double-check that the belt is correctly aligned with the guides as well.

Step 4: Reattach the roller shutter cover

Once the new belt is securely installed, it’s time to reattach the roller shutter cover. Carefully place the cover back in its original position and align the screw holes. Use the screwdriver to tighten the screws, ensuring the cover is firmly in place.

Step 5: Test the roller shutter

Now that the new belt is installed, it’s important to test the roller shutter to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Activate the roller shutter and observe its operation. Check if the belt runs smoothly and the roller shutter moves up and down without any issues. If you notice any problems, retrace your steps or seek professional assistance.

By following these simple steps, you can replace a roller shutter belt yourself. This helps you save time and money, ensuring your roller shutters remain in perfect working condition. Remember to always prioritize safety and, when in doubt, consult a professional.
