Do commercial shutters need servicing?
Powered shutters in workplaces should be maintained so their safety devices keep working. Most sites book a service every six or twelve months.

It depends on how often the shutter opens. We ask about daily cycles at survey and size the motor and curtain so it is not overworked.
