Can I paint or customise my roller shutter door?

Yes, roller shutter doors can be painted or powder-coated in various colours, with optional custom finishes and slat designs.

What’s the difference between manual and electric roller shutters?

Manual shutters are operated by hand or chain, while electric shutters use a motor controlled by a remote, switch, or smart system, offering greater convenience.

How often should a roller shutter door be serviced?

Residential and commercial shutters should be serviced every 6–12 months. Industrial doors should be serviced every 3–6 months.

Why is my roller shutter motor making noise but not moving the door?

This usually indicates gear wear, capacitor failure, or an underpowered motor. Stop operating the door and book a professional inspection.

Can a manual roller shutter be motorised?

Yes, most manual roller shutters can be upgraded to electric systems using compatible AC or DC motors.

Will my roller shutter work during load shedding?

With a battery backup or manual override installed, your roller shutter can still operate during power outages.

How long do roller shutter motors last?

A quality roller shutter motor typically lasts between 7 and 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance.

Are all roller shutter motors the same?
