Inquiries & FAQs
Why is my manual awning so hard to wind?
A stiff winding mechanism usually indicates a failing internal gearbox, stripped gears, or lack of lubrication. Continued forcing will snap the winder. We can replace the specific gearbox component quickly.
Do you replace Somfy awning motors?
Absolutely. We diagnose and replace all major brands of electric tubular motors, including Somfy and Markilux, restoring full automated functionality and remote control to your awning.
