The roller shutter doors had a bit of a malfunction
And the maintainance bloke for the site asked "Can you bent the metal back and reattach the chain?
Jemmy bar?
Since this is uk.d-i-y, it has to be Angle Grinder!
Did the answer involve sex and travel?
Chain from barrier to van tow bar?
You fitted a toothed cog to your drill and wound the shutter up?
That implies you bent something, isn't that cheating?
Some roller shutter doors can be worked by chain, just in case the drive motor fails or the chain comes off!
Do you have a power winch mounted on the front of the van?

What is the bolt in the foreground for? I mean, why does it look like it's been ripped out of the wall.
I would guess the van's socket set. Unscrew the bolts, give a bit of play, fit the chain on, then screw the bolts up again.
I would have thought the door should have a manual release, which, if it's not your responsibility...
I am not sure that is correct.
There are manual pull switches to disconnect and reconnect the the motor to and from the main drive chain. But it still needs the main drive chain (bicycle chain) to be in working order.
It looks like it has been ripped out the wall because it has been ripped out the wall.
That is the reason the chain fell off the cogs.
The metal plate holding the motor is totally bent.
Never going to work. Refit a rawlbolt into a blown hole:-)
See my post to Fred.

Just a wench in the passenger seat.
And the winch would not work even if I had one. The safety system had pulled in the drop bolt on the opposite side to the motor.
Then it was probably badly installed from the outset and the chain is being forced to run at a slight angle and has finally chewed the edges off the cog teeth and jumped off.
Could be that angle bolt has pulled out of the wall allowing the motor to twist and has been like it for some time.
Forklift under the door?

Hefty lass, was she?

Hmmm, an Allen key?

Of course it was:-)
Slice straight up the middle of the shutter curtain to the required height and slide off all the leaves.
Curves in all the right places
The one I have is worm drive to the main roller spindle. I can attach a chain to the end of the motor if I get stuck. Thankfully never had to, but this a different setup to the one you photo'd.
Ok
Didn't that cause a little damage?

Unlike the roller shutter
Na, probably lots! :-)
