What would happen if you left your car in your garage one morning and didn't return for three years?  If it didn't get stolen, and it was never turned on, chances are it wouldn't work.  What would happen if you went 10,000 miles without an oil change?  Your car would hate you!

Like many things in life, without maintenance, things fall apart.  The same thing goes with hurricane shutters.  Although hurricane shutters manufactured at All World Shutters are composed of high grade aluminum and stainless steel, regular maintenance will make a huge difference down the line.

Accordion shutters are mechanical in nature (they roll across a track).  The wheels carry all the weight of the hurricane shutter and coincidentally are the weakest link when it comes to deferred maintenance.  If you live along the coast and haven't maintained or at least operated your hurricane shutters regularly, let me know how it goes for you next time you try to close them.

For some more detail about how to properly maintain your accordion shutters, please check out our Maintenance Page.  Whether you just got shutters or have had them for years, maintaining your hurricane shutters will prevent an "Oh Darn!" moment for you right before a storm!
