Top Tips For Maintaining Your Roller Shutters

Roller shutters are a sensible installation for everything from garages and commercial premises to workshops and more, with these metal guards able to act as a deterrent and physical barrier. Coming in varied designs, and functional either manually or via a remote control device, security shutters are best installed and maintained by experts, though there are certainly a number of things you can do to ensure they remain in top condition too. Let Shuretech provide that valuable insight as we share some top tips for keeping your shutters in prime condition.

Cleaning And Lubrication

Frequent cleaning and lubrication ensure your roller shutters are in a consistently good condition, while they also ensure the shutters are premium in appearance. You should endeavour to ensure the guide the shutters run along is clean and free from debris such as leaves or dirt, while the ventilation holes and tracks should also be accounted for. Rollers, guide rails and bearings should also be oiled once a year if possible to prevent rust.

Nail The Initial Installation

Nailing the initial installation by working with a reliable team will minimise the chances of any issues occurring later down the line, with any potential problems addressed early in the process. At Shuretech, our team of fully experienced surveyors and certified engineers are here to help you to choose the right model and specification, while we have a wide selection of grilles to choose from too, all installed thoroughly. Customer service is at the very heart of what we do.

Regular Inspection

Regular inspection is crucial, and it can prove costly if you just leave your roller shutters and allow dust or grime to accumulate. As shutters grow older they could become stiff or damaged, so keep an eye on them and check the mechanisms for wear and tear at least once every few months. If your door is to become damaged, ensure you have it repaired as soon as you can - a seemingly small fault can worsen over time, putting the security of your premises at risk.

Keep Up With Controls 

The remote control itself may become faulty after a period of time, and this could either be due to connectivity issues, dead batteries or all manner of other problems. More often than not, the manufacturer of your door system will be able to provide a compatible replacement in no time, though having a broken remote can prove frustrating. If your remote has ceased to work altogether, it may also be due to the mechanism not functioning as it should, so consult a professional as soon as you can.
