Manual roller shutters use a webbing strap or cord that wraps around a drum inside the winder box. Over time — and faster in Perth's UV-heavy environment — the strap degrades, becomes brittle, and eventually snaps. When it goes, the shutter drops to where it is and stays there. It's one of the most common repairs we do, and it's usually fixable in a single visit. If your strap has snapped or feels like it's about to go, call (08) 6491 9423 now before you're locked in or out.
When You Need Strap or Cord Replacement
The most obvious sign is the strap coming out of the winder box slot — either snapped off at the end or running completely off the drum. You pull the strap and nothing happens, or it comes out entirely.
Earlier warning signs include a strap that feels stiff and brittle when you pull it, one that has developed visible cracking along the length, or one that seems to be getting shorter (the end is fraying and breaking off bit by bit). In Perth's climate, UV exposure through glass or from direct sun on the strap as it exits the slot can accelerate this breakdown significantly.
Don't wait until it snaps completely. A fraying strap can also jam inside the winder box, which makes the replacement harder and potentially damages the drum.
Our Strap Replacement Process
We identify the correct strap width and type for your winder box — there are a few standard sizes that cover most Perth shutters. We remove the winder box cover, extract the broken strap from the drum, thread the new strap through the slot, attach it to the drum, and wind it correctly so the tension is right before reassembling.
The shutter is tested through full travel before we leave. If the winder drum or internal mechanism shows wear, we'll flag it at the same time so you know what to watch for. Most strap replacements take less than an hour.
