Manual roller shutters are operated by hand, usually with a strap or crank system, making them ideal for locations where electric power isn’t available or for those seeking cost-effective security solutions. Their mechanical simplicity makes them easier to maintain and repair than motorised options. Manual shutters provide effective protection against weather, theft, and noise, making them a versatile choice for many Melbourne properties.

Common Issues with Manual Roller Shutters

Despite their robust design, manual roller shutters can face several problems over time:

• Strap or Chain Breakage: Frequent use can wear out the lifting strap or chain, making it impossible to open or close the shutter smoothly.

• Slat Damage: Slats may bend or break due to impact, hindering shutter movement.

• Misalignment: The shutter can come off its tracks, causing jamming or uneven operation.

• Rust and Corrosion: Exposure to Melbourne’s varying weather conditions can cause rust, especially on older shutters.

• Lock Malfunction: The locking mechanism may seize or break, compromising security.

Understanding these common issues helps homeowners and business operators spot problems early and seek professional repair before they escalate.
