This video will show you how to exchange the strap winder of a roller shutter.
First you have to lower the shutter all the way to take the weight off the strap.
Now undo the screws in the face plate of the strap winder and take it out of the cavity.
Then pull the left over strap off the spring drum. In this case the strap is fixed to the spring drum by a screw. sometimes but, it is wedged on or simply attached to a hook on the spring drum.
Make sure you grip the sting drum tight when undoing the strap because the drum is under maximum spring tension now. Which bears a high risk of injury!
The safest is to slowly relief the tension on the drum, sometimes though a hook is mounted on the drum, to block the spring coil inside the drum.
Make sure the strap is not twisted before feeding the strap into the new winder.
Now feed the strap under the brake flap into the winder.
Wrap the strap around the spring drum once before you attach it to the drum. This way you can not accidentally pull the strap off the spring drum.
Once the strap is attached simply pull it a little. Now you should be able to easily undo the hook blocking the spring load. Simply squeeze it down onto the spring drum.
Finally screw the strap winder back in its cavity and do a test run.
During the test run you should pay attention wether you can lower and rise the roller shutter completely and on the strap not being tangled.

Thank you! Saved me a lot of guesswork :)
Thanks for this...Agree with Riccos below I had to wind up the strap to pick up all the slack before fitting back.
Nice Tutorial, just at the last part you need to load the spring before attaching the strap (if using the same mechanism)
Useful video. I'll use this again later for the installation of the new unit. 👍
Thank you much, after watching this video I fix my roller shutter my self
I think this is just what I needed. Thank you.
But in the end you should you load the spring before attaching the strap.... I found it out when following your tutorial. Thanks
Very helpful video, thanks!
Thx mate! Just what I needed!
Great video, Do you have the Blickdomi device for controlling blinds?
Thanks mate!
If the spring is not charged how we charge it before we put the new belt?
What if the strap is tore from above?
Thanks alot
I still had trouble with the roller. I installed the new one but the shutter is not able to go all the way. Hardward store tells me it is the correct piece. What to do then?
what about the top section .?

OMG thank you, i thought i was the ONLY One not understanding 😂😂
I did all this but now the strap is sagging. How do I fix this? It’s like the spring isn’t reeling the strap back in. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ken, most likely the Spring Lock is still engaged. If this is not the case, the spring coil inside the drum might be snapped. This you can check by winding the drum, if the tension does not build up or you hear a clicking noise every turn or so you can be sure it is the case. Best you get a new one then. In any case. Do not open the drum. If spring is snapped it may well happen that it "jumps" right at you when opened.
I have this blind in Spain and no one wants to tell you how to fix it. They all want to tell you "you gotta have new blinds" and its not true!
Charge
Wtf You just put the same strap back in ..no exchange !!

colin vernon thats exactly what this video explains, too! Not how to exchange the strap but the winder... check out some of my other videos and you will find what you are searching for mate! Good luck
This instruction is incorrect, he does not prime the spring before attaching the new strap

Christina Toft, there is no need to prime prime new winders. They all come pre-primed. Only if the strap snapped and you are using the same winder again it needs priming. How to prime a winder if your re-using the existing one you can find out on one of my orher videos. Take care though, it's tricky and also a fair bit dangerous...
Dude u not even showed how to Change the spring back

Hi mate, you can actually secure the spring with the little metal clip on the spring drum which I showed. This is a link to a video (in german) on how to retention a spring (slightly different strap winder type) kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHacl7qyitivibA.html
Bad instructions; spring is not charged...!
What if the strap is tore from above?
