Shutter breakdowns at opening or closing time
A shutter operated morning and evening, seven days a week, eventually feels the strain: slack springs, slats worn at the edges, a motor that overheats. When it gives out, it is rarely at a good time. We free the shutter first, at any hour, then repair it on the spot or come back with the part.
- Shutter stuck before opening timeFreed so you can raise the shutter and open the shop.
- Shutter that won’t come down in the eveningClosing it or making it secure for the night.
- Slack springsShutter heavy to lift: adjustment or replacement.
- Motor that overheats or cuts outChecks on the wiring, the controls and the motor.
- Worn or bent slatsNew slats in the original profile.
- Seized shutter lockFreed, then a new lock if needed.
Servicing suited to daily use
A food shop raises and lowers its shutter at least twice a day. At that pace, regular adjustment costs less than a lost day of trading.
On a servicing visit, we grease the shaft and the guide rails, check the spring tension, test the motor, its controls and the safety brake, and point out any slats that need replacing. On a manual shutter, we also check the winch and the crank handle. Every part that needs changing is quoted for, with no obligation.
What daily use wears out first
- The springs: they counterbalance the weight of the shutter curtain and slacken with use.
- The edges of the slats: they rub in the guide rails each time the shutter moves.
- The lock and the motor: used morning and evening, they get clogged with dirt.

Shop shutters in the 4th: your questions
Tell us how long the shutter has been showing signs of weakness: it helps us prepare the parts.
How often should a shop shutter be serviced?
For a shutter operated every day, one visit a year is a good rhythm, or two if the shutter is heavy or used a great deal. Between visits, let us know about any unusual noise or slowness.
The shutter gave out during service: can you come in the evening?
Yes, at any hour, because a shop can’t be left open overnight. We close or secure it first, then repair it afterwards if the part isn’t available straight away.
Does a shutter raised twice a day need a motor?
It isn’t compulsory, but beyond a certain width, the crank handle becomes hard work and wears the winch. A motor can often be fitted on the existing shaft; we check the condition of the shutter first, then price the motorisation.
Do the busy streets of the Marais make the job harder?
No: we plan for access and parking, including on Sundays, when rue des Rosiers and the streets around it are packed. Just give us the shop’s exact address.
