Identifying the Problem

Before attempting any repair work, it is crucial to properly identify the problem.

Fixing a Stuck or Jammed Shutter

If your roller shutter is stuck or jammed, follow these steps to fix it:

  1. Inspect the tracks and clean any debris or obstructions that may be preventing the movement of the shutter.
  2. Apply lubricant spray to the tracks and rollers to ensure smooth operation.
  3. Check for any loose screws or bolts and tighten them if necessary.
