Parts we supply and install
We keep stock of common roller shutter components including perforated and solid slats, guide channels, springs, barrels, brackets, bottom rails, locks and motors, so most repairs can be completed quickly.
Planned maintenance for businesses
Commercial and industrial doors work hard. A regular service — inspecting and adjusting springs, lubricating guides and bearings, checking slats, bottom rails, locks and motors — prevents breakdowns that leave your premises insecure or stop your operation. We offer scheduled maintenance for single sites and multi-site clients across Gauteng.
Repair or replace?
If a door is badly damaged or very old, replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs. We will give you an honest assessment and, if you choose to replace, quote on a new perforated roller shutter.
