🔍 Key Takeaways in This Video:
The Slats vs. The Hardware: Metal slats can last for decades, but motors, bearings, and tracks are what usually get tired.
The Cost Math: If repair costs come close to a new install, a new shutter wins for the fresh warranty.
Listen to the Sound: A grinding noise means bearings; a high-pitched whine means the motor is under load. Don't ignore it!
Scissor Gate Upgrades: Why old folding metal gates from the 90s are worth swapping out for solid shutters.
