Electric roller shutters are automated shutters operated by an electric motor. They are commonly used in residential homes, shops, warehouses, and commercial premises across Melbourne due to their ease of use and security benefits. Unlike manual shutters, they can be controlled remotely or via wall switches, providing convenience especially for larger or heavier shutters.

Common Issues with Electric Roller Shutters

Despite their advantages, electric roller shutters can face several issues, including:

• Motor failure: Motors may overheat or wear out due to frequent use or lack of maintenance.

• Faulty wiring or switches: Electrical connections can degrade or become loose, causing intermittent operation or failure.

• Remote control problems: Remote devices might lose sync with the shutter or have battery issues.

• Track misalignment: Misaligned or damaged shutter tracks can cause jamming, which strains the motor.

• Obstructions or debris: Dirt and debris in the shutter mechanism impede smooth movement and damage components.
