In case you have roller shutters at your place, you must be aware of the fact that they keep getting damaged and need to get repaired time and again. Before you pick up the phone to call the experts to see if the issue can be resolved by yourself. Here are mentioned some tips for repairing the shutters on your own:

Get to know the Cause of the Issue



In case the laths are struck, then maybe something is obstructing the box. The box has roller which attaches the slats and keeps them where they are supposed to be. If any of the laths get damaged, the whole unit may get inter twisted hence get struck. Another thing which could have happened is that the wobble may have come out and got stuck somewhere in the shutter.

Uncover the cause of damage



To uncover the cause of slats getting struck. Look for the bolts which are securing the cover of the box. Take out the screws, pull out the cover, and keep it at one place. This has to be done very carefully. You can wear safety glasses while performing this.

Restore damaged laths



Open all the laths and check if any of them are damaged. In case any of them is damaged then get to restore them, immediately. The plastic and aluminum ones are locked into the cracks and attached via clips. Wooden ones have lop attached to them. In case only one of the slats or laths is damaged then you can move all the bottom ones to the top and your problem will be sorted.

Join the loose parts

Wobbles that have come off can be again put in the correct place. Before closing the box, look for any part which has come off from the position. Attach them once again to avoid further any damage.
