Broken roller shutter winder: signs of failure

Barcelona Persianas y Cerrajeros. Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 20:00.

The winder rolls and releases the strap. When it fails, the strap can remain loose or get stuck.

A common sign is that the shutter drops by itself or the strap does not keep tension.

Replacing the winder may solve the problem when the strap and the rest of the system are in good condition.

A photo of the winder and a short description of the fault are useful.

Quick diagnosis before calling

To assess the repair better, it helps to explain the fault and send clear photos of the affected part.
