SteelMotion specialises in roller shutter motor repair across Dublin, diagnosing the real fault rather than simply replacing parts.

Electric shutter motors fail for many reasons: overheating from overuse, worn limit switches that stop the shutter at the wrong point, failed capacitors, faulty control boards, damaged wiring and tripped thermal cut-outs. Our engineers carry diagnostic equipment and common spares to identify and correct the fault efficiently.
Where a motor is genuinely beyond repair we'll advise replacement, but we always check whether a repair is possible first — it's often quicker and far cheaper than a full motor swap.

Motor Repair FAQs
My electric shutter won't move at all — is it the motor?
Not always. It could be the motor, a capacitor, a limit switch, the controls, the wiring or a tripped cut-out. We diagnose the actual cause on-site before recommending any work. Call 089 429 5181.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a shutter motor?
Often a repair is significantly cheaper than a replacement. We always assess whether the motor can be repaired first and give you an honest recommendation.
