Metal shutter installation, motorisation and repair

Metal shutters have the great advantage of being durable and efficient — they go up and down every day without problems for years. But like everything, they can eventually fail, and when they do, care is needed: not repairing them promptly can worsen the damage, making the repair far more expensive or even requiring a full replacement.

As professional locksmiths, we are also specialised in metal shutters, covering the three main services: installation, motorisation and repair. Below we detail each one so you know exactly what to expect in every situation.

Metal shutter installation

Sometimes it is necessary to replace a shutter or simply install one from scratch in a new build. Whatever the reason, it must be done carefully and precisely. At Manel Grau Locksmiths we supply and install the best shutters in the sector — quality, durable shutters with the system and security level best suited to the type of premises.

Installations are carried out in private premises, warehouses and commercial premises as well as in industrial areas, where shutters are subject to heavy workloads and need to be resistant and properly installed.

Metal shutter repair

Metal shutters can sometimes be subjected to great stress, suffer impacts or accidents that cause them to come off their tracks or jam the top roller, stopping them from working. In these cases it is important to act carefully and have the repair done professionally, otherwise it will fail again and cost you more money unnecessarily.

Shutter motorisation

Motorising shutters is detailed work but one that yields excellent results: it saves the effort of lifting and lowering a heavy commercial shutter every day. By fitting a motor in the top box, we make this task as simple as pressing a button.

We work with leading motors in the sector, such as Pujol Muntalà, offering superior quality and a useful life of at least ten years. If you prefer to supply your own motor, we will work with whatever material you provide.

Frequently asked questions about metal shutters

Can you repair a jammed metal shutter as an emergency?

Yes. We handle metal shutter breakdowns and jams 24 hours a day in Tarragona. Whether the shutter is stuck halfway or will not go up or down, we come immediately to restore it to working order.

When is it better to repair rather than replace a shutter?

If a few slats are slightly bent or the mechanism has minor wear, repair is usually sufficient and far more cost-effective. If multiple slats are broken, the axle is bent or the motor has completely failed, partial or full replacement is the more durable option.

Do you install motors on manual metal shutters?

Yes. We convert manually operated shutters to motorised ones with tubular or axle motors. The system can be integrated with a remote control, wall switch or even a home automation system. This is a very popular upgrade for shops and garages.

Do you work with all types of metal shutters?

We work with articulated steel and aluminium slat shutters, microperforated shutters, solid slat shutters and rolling security closures for commercial and industrial use. We also repair sectional garage doors.
