PERFORM REGULAR CHECKS

Key to ensuring the longevity of your roller shutter is to carry out regular checks, looking for any damage or weakness that could jeopardise the safety of you or anyone else, or put your premises at risk of breaking and entry.        Look for any signs of attempted forced entry, general wear and tear or faults with the safety mechanism.        If you aren’t sure what you’re looking for or are concerned you have spotted damage to your door, contact a professional to check it over for you.

CLEAN

A buildup of dirt or debris can hinder the performance of your auto rolling shutter door machine, causing it to run slow, make jerky movements, or even block the door from closing properly.        To prevent this from occurring, clean your shutter every three months or so.        Use a stiff bristled brush to clear the ventilation holes and tracks and then hose down the metal rolling shutter doors forming machine.        Use a sponge and a solution of warm water and mild soap to thoroughly remove any grime and then use an absorbent cloth to wipe everything dry.

Do not attempt to use any abrasive cleaners or steel wool, scrubbing brushes or scrapers on your shutters as they can damage the surface.

GREASE THE MECHANISMS

Use a lubrication on the rollers, guide rails and bearings to allow the rolling mechanisms to work smoothly and prevent them from rusting.        This will enable the auto shutter door machine to operate easily and reduce the need for replacement parts.

OPERATE WITH CARE

When using a metal shutter door roll forming machine, operate the door carefully.        Don’t allow the door to slam against the ground as this can cause screws to loosen or mechanisms to snap.        If you have an electric roller door, avoid handling the remote roughly as if you cause any damage to the buttons you can jeopardise the security of your door and will need to buy a replacement remote.

You should also ensure that anyone in the vicinity of the shutter moves carefully around it, making sure they don’t fall, bang into or throw anything against the shutter and cause serious damage.

REPAIR ANY FAULTS

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, and creating the potential for the door’s safety mechanism to fail and seriously injure anyone under the path of the door.
