Metal shutter repair in Paris 20
Grocers on rue de Bagnolet, bakeries on rue des Pyrénées, cafés in Belleville and Ménilmontant: for a small shop, replacing a whole shutter is expensive. We start by getting it working and repairing it, part by part, throughout the 20th, 24/7, with a quote before we begin.

Faults we repair without replacing everything
Most broken-down shutters only need one part: a spring, a slat, a lock, a motor. We first free the shutter so you can open up or close, then repair it, on the spot if the part is available.
- Broken springThe shutter becomes heavy: spring replaced, shaft kept.
- Dented slatSlat replaced with one of the same profile.
- Jammed shutter lockShutter opened and a new lock fitted.
- Motor failureDiagnosis; motor replaced only if necessary.
- Bent guide railGuide rail straightened or replaced.
- Stuck shutterFreed at any hour.
Repair rather than replace: how we decide
Replacing a shutter is only justified if the shaft, the guide rails and most of the slats are worn. In all other cases, repair costs less and the shutter goes back into service.
On site, we check every component and present both options when they are equally valid: repairing a given part, or replacing the shutter curtain. You choose knowing both prices.
What we check
- The shaft: if it is straight with no play, it can be kept.
- The guide rails: straightened if they are only bent.
- The slats: replaced individually when only a few are damaged.

Small shops in the 20th: repair or replace?
Tell us how long the problem has been going on: a recent fault is often easier to repair.
How much does a shutter repair cost?
It depends on the part involved: a spring, a slat or a lock costs far less than a new shutter curtain. Unjamming a shutter starts at €280 incl. VAT; when a part needs replacing, the price is set by quotation, after diagnosis, before any work starts.
My shutter is over twenty years old: is it still worth repairing?
Often, yes: a well-maintained shutter lasts a long time. If the shaft and guide rails are sound, replacing a few slats or a spring is enough. We will tell you frankly when that is no longer the case.
Can you motorise my manual shutter at the same time?
If the shaft and springs are in good condition, yes. We then price the repair and the motorisation separately, so that you can choose.
Do you come out at weekends?
Yes, 7 days a week: a shutter stuck on a Saturday morning or a Sunday evening is repaired just as on any other day, on a quote accepted before the work.
