Technician repairing a metal shutter in Alicante

Most common metal shutter faults

In Alicante we repair almost any type of shutter fault. These are the ones we see most often:

Broken or dislodged slats: knocks, rust or wear cause them to come off their track and jam the movement.
Jammed or worn axle: the axle the shutter rolls onto loses tension or gets stuck, making it hard to raise and lower.
Damaged or misaligned guides: if the shutter doesn't come down straight or jumps out of the guide, it's usually an alignment issue.
Broken central lock: common in security shutters on shops; if it fails, it compromises the premises' protection.
Broken handle, strap or pull cord: on manual shutters, this is one of the most frequent faults — and one of the quickest to fix.

Whatever the problem, we carry out a free assessment before starting any repair.

Preventive maintenance and after-sales service

Many shutter faults can be avoided with a periodic check of the axle, guides and anchors. That's why, besides repairing, we offer maintenance plans so your shutter doesn't catch you out by jamming at the worst possible moment.

And if you notice any issue after a repair, we offer an after-sales service to check it at no extra cost.

A shutter with regular maintenance saves you faults — and money — in the medium term.
