The individual louvres/slats slide easily from side to side, and you have probably slid one along too far. Try getting them all central and trying again.

Hi Deb...Darn pest I know...I used to have electric ones in the Netherlands,on a time switch aaghh..Someone always left a french door or window open (yes even me)..and cruuuunch.Had to get the company out on a few occasions..Previous owners did leave a list of maintenance co's...If the name of co isn't on one of the shutters..check them all...and if they are metal/plastic..try a spray of WD40 on the stuck bit. If they are wooden.maybe warped bit more of a problem...look in directory under...Persiana/janela..

Try MSMP. 961952147 or call into their workshop - it's on the river side of the fishermen's huts near the new market.
