Christmas is perhaps the time that a roller shutter is most needed. Iin cold weather though, maybe even when you’re closed for the festive period, how can you ensure that your establishment remains safe and sound? Our roller shutter experts share their top tips for keeping your roller shutter working and making sure it keeps your commercial building secure over Christmas.
Just with any mechanism, dirt can build up on your roller shutter and cause it to run slowly, or even not at all. Cleaning your roller shutter every few weeks can help to keep it operating smoothly: use a sponge and warm water to remove dirt build-up and lubricate the rollers and mechanisms to prevent them from rusting or seizing up.
The last thing you want over Christmas is an emergency shutter repair! To ensure this doesn’t happen, booking our shutter maintenance service will help give you a little peace of mind that it’s not going to let you down over the festive period.
Be gentle with your roller shutter! Don’t allow it to hit the ground too hard as this can loosen the mechanisms, and try not to be overly rough with it. Operating your shutter with care at all times can avoid any long term damage to it, so try and be conscious of how deceptively delicate it can be.
