From dismantling to return to service
This sequence sets out the main steps carried out while replacing this metal shutter in Gennevilliers.
Remove the old metal shutter
Take out the old equipment and the components to be replaced, clearing the opening and preparing for the new shutter.
Prepare the supports
Check the fixing areas and make the adjustments needed before fitting the new guide rails, side plates and axle.
Install the new motorised axle
Position and fix the new axle with its 170 Nm central motor and the components the curtain needs in order to coil.
Fit the solid-slat curtain
Put the new curtain in place, engage it in the side guide rails, then install the bottom slat.
Adjust and test the operation
Set the limit switches, check the curtain’s guidance and coiling, then run several opening and closing cycles before returning it to service.

Why replace a metal shutter completely?
A metal shutter works through several complementary components: curtain, guide rails, axle, motorisation, fixings and controls.
When several of those parts are heavily worn or damaged, replacing a single one is not always the most suitable answer.
A complete replacement makes it possible to:
- start again with an assembly whose components are compatible with each other;
- renew the main mechanical parts at the same time;
- recover regular guidance of the curtain in its rails;
- have a motorisation matched to the new equipment;
- limit repeated repairs on ageing components;
- restore a closure suited to securing the premises.
A complete replacement is not automatic, however. Where the shutter’s general condition allows it, a targeted repair can be enough. The choice is made after inspecting the equipment and identifying the failing parts. On this Gennevilliers job, renewing the whole assembly put a complete, working motorised metal shutter back in place.
What to remember from this installation
Replacing a metal shutter completely makes sense when several components are worn or failing.
- A properly adjusted installation gives more dependable day-to-day operation.
- Opening and closing tests are essential before a motorised shutter goes back into service.
- In Gennevilliers, this job secured access to the business premises again.
- A metal shutter maintenance contract helps anticipate wear and limit the risk of breakdown.
