How to Check If You Need a New Shutter Motor or Just a Repair

At SmartChoice ShopFronts, we understand that dealing with a faulty shutter can be frustrating. Whether it's a garage door, shopfront shutter, or industrial roller shutter, knowing whether to repair or replace parts like the shutter motor, tracks, or slats can save you both time and money. This guide will help you determine when a repair is enough and when a replacement is necessary.

Signs That Your Shutter or Shutter Motor Needs Repair

Before opting for a full replacement, check for these common issues that may indicate your shutter or motor only needs a repair:

Unusual Noises

If your shutter motor is making grinding, buzzing, or clicking sounds, it may indicate wear and tear. Lubrication or minor motor adjustments might resolve the issue without needing a full replacement.

Slow or Struggling Operation

If your garage shutter or shopfront shutter is moving slower than usual, it may be due to dirt, lack of lubrication, or weak electrical connections. A shutter motor repair or service can often fix this issue without replacing the entire unit.

Remote or Switch Malfunctions

If the remote or switch isn’t responding, the issue might be with the electrical wiring or the control unit rather than the motor itself. Replacing the battery or rewiring the connection can restore proper function.
