Hi All,
i wonder if anybody knows how to repair roller shutters, the missus opened up one yesterday and the tape just pulled out of the wall so now the shutters permanantly shut any ideas would be gratefully recieved.
Hi, Just pop down to your local ferreteria, they all sell the tape including the box and its very easy to install. You can also jam the shutter up in an open position, unscrew the box (if you have one) above the window, pull the shutter up and jam a screwdriver though the slats. Regards Rob
thanks for that Rob,
unfortunatly the shutters are built into the walls and the tape goes into the wall nearly at ceiling level(the window is about 1 metre below this)any other ideas?
Sorry, no, I would have to see it first, however, most Spanish handyman of a certain age might have an idea/suggestion. Also, why not ask your neighbour, he might have had the same problem. Rob
You can always ask your neighbors first. Look who has roller shutters, they might've encountered the same problem. Worse comes to worst, you may just want to replace your roller shutters. It's less of a headache and should last you longer.
