Get the most out of your Commercial Roller Shutters

Even the highest quality Commercial or Industrial Roller Shutters need regular maintenance to ensure safe and efficient operation.  Regular services and inspections will ensure your roller door is tightened and correctly aligned, all moving parts are lubricated and will pick up on small, seemingly insignificant problems that may cause greater problems in the future.

 

Check for wear and tear

An inspection of the door springs, cables, rollers, and other hardware is a great place to begin.  Look for signs of wear, such as broken parts, however, remember not to overreach your abilities – the springs and related hardware are under high tension and can cause severe injury if handled improperly.  Ensure the tracks are kept clear of grit and debris so the door does not jam or catch on one side.

Regular lubrication will keep your Sydney Industrial and Commercial buildings Roller doors running smoothly, however depending on the type of Roller shutter will depend on what type of lubricant to use, and where to use it.  It is imperative that the right products be used on your door so as to not cause any problems or faults.  A qualified service technician is essential for more complicated Roller Shutter repairs.
