Frequently Asked Questions:

Why are regular inspections of roller shutter doors important?

Regular inspections of roller shutter doors are crucial for ensuring their safe and efficient operation. Inspections help identify potential issues such as wear and tear, mechanical failures, or safety hazards, preventing accidents and costly repairs while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Roller shutter doors should typically be inspected at least once a year. However, doors that are used frequently or are exposed to harsh environments may require more frequent inspections, such as quarterly or biannual checks, to ensure they remain in good working condition.

Inspections should be performed by trained and certified professionals who have the necessary expertise and experience with roller shutter doors. This ensures that all aspects of the door's operation and safety features are thoroughly evaluated.

Maintain detailed records of all inspections, including the date of the inspection, the findings, any repairs or adjustments made, and the inspector's details. These records are essential for compliance, warranty purposes, and tracking the door’s maintenance history.

If your roller shutter door fails an inspection, take immediate action to address the issues identified. This may involve repairing or replacing damaged components, adjusting the door's alignment, or servicing the motor and control systems. Ensure the door is re-inspected and certified safe before resuming use to prevent accidents and ensure compliance.
