Once we have fitted our door systems, we can also provide a regular roller shutter door maintenance service to help you to prolong the product’s life.

What Are The Signs Roller Shutter Doors Maintenance Is Needed?

In addition to abiding by regulations, prioritising maintenance for your roller shutter doors can help you to spot issues earlier to avoid expensive and unexpected repairs. Therefore, the first thing we advise is when you have your roller shutter doors installed, ask our team when they recommend for you to schedule in for your first maintenance service for your specific design and make sure to pencil this into your calendar. This will help to check for potential faults and address them as needed.

Secondly, routinely look over your door system for any signs of concern in the meantime. For example, look out for signs of dirt and debris build up, as this can affect the door systems performance and present health and safety risks. Ventilation holes will need to be brushed out to clear trapped dirt and grime will need to be washed away using soap, warm water and a sponge before drying with an absorbent cloth. To prevent rusting and to aid smooth functions, rollers, bearings and guide rails should be greased or oiled.

Thirdly, even if it is a small fault identified, it is important to arrange for roller shutter doors maintenance as soon as possible by a professional. This can help to prevent the issue from worsening and becoming more of a hazard. A professional maintenance service can also make sure that the door systems are being cared for following legal guidelines.
