• If the commercial shutter does not operate properly when it is being used manually, hire a local service provider in Washington DC area to repair it before adding and setting up a commercial new opener. Installing new opener will not make the roll-down shutter work if there was a problem prior to the new commercial opener set up. If the spring is weak, or if it has been a long time since someone greased the gate, you will need to take care of the problems first. You have to make sure that the shutter can operate normally when it is in manual mode. If it shows any signs of issues, if it is suddenly difficult to open up the gate, if the slats are damaged, or if there are broken parts that need to be replaced, all those issues are not going to disappear when you install the new commercial operator. And you can even burn the new opener you recently set up.

• The cheap poor quality commercial motors will turn into the most expensive since they do not last for long. Using an electric opener which is not the right opener for the gate is literally a waste of money, and can even be dangerous. Never use opener which is not specified by the manufacturer of the commercial rollup! Trying to save money by using the wrong opener usually end with spending much more in the future.

• We go over it again: If your commercial Rolling shutter is broken, Do NOT use it. Not manually nor with the electric opener.
