I have 3 roller shutters over our shop windows.
2 of them don't fully open, they jam about 6 inch short, is this
something
I should be able to fix or shall I get somebody in?



Is it sticking in the track (track damaged) or is the roller itself
jamming.
You should be able to tell by seeing if the shutter is in tension or
compression.

Surely it will always be in tension?

Apart from track damage 6" up from the bottom, I suppose a slat could be
out of position horizontally and not entering the top of the track?

Simple tools only required but how much time do you have to invest in
this?

If you were to lower the shutter and it stuck at the bottom - then if the
roller was free I would expect the shutter to be in some compression due to
the weight of the higher slats.
