A neighbourhood with a lot of street-level retail

Carrer de Sants and Carrer de la Creu Coberta form a single shopping street, officially designated as such by shopkeepers' associations in 1999, running through Hostafrancs, Sants and Sants-Badal. On a street like this, a failing shutter or shop lock means not being able to open in the morning or leave the business locked at night. That is why this page focuses mainly on shop entrances.

If the shop shutter won't open or close

Do not force the shutter or keep running the motor if it has stopped halfway: you may damage the axle or the guides. Note exactly what it does and, if you can, record a video. With that information we can tell whether an adjustment, a specific part or a motor check is needed. More on blind and shutter repair.

  • Whether the shutter is manual or motorised.
  • Whether the remote or key switch fails, or the motor runs without moving the shutter.
  • Whether it comes down crooked, catches in the guides or has bent slats.
  • Whether it has a lock or padlock at the bottom and whether that works.
  • Whether the shop has another door you can get in through.

If you find the shutter or door forced

Do not go in or touch anything; move away and call 112. Wait for police instructions before moving anything or requesting a repair. Afterwards the entrance can be secured so the shop stays locked, and the permanent fix assessed: repairing the shutter, replacing the lock or reinforcing the door. See burglary prevention.

  • Street and number and, for a shop on the high street, the nearest junction.
  • What time you need to open or lock up the business.
  • Whether it is a shop or a home, and which floor.
  • Photos or a short video of the shutter or lock on WhatsApp.
