Commercial Garage Door Services

​

In case you have a different type of commercial garage door, which we do not service, we included below some information as well as tips that might assist you! 

​

Types of Commercial Garage Doors:

​

1. Sectional Doors: Sectional garage doors are made up of several horizontal panels that are hinged together. These panels slide up and overhead when opened, and down when closed. They are commonly used for loading docks, warehouses, and other commercial applications. Sectional doors can be insulated or non-insulated, depending on the business's needs.
    

2. Rolling Doors: Rolling garage doors are made up of a series of interlocking slats that roll up and overhead when opened, and roll down when closed. These doors are commonly used in small commercial spaces, such as storage units and retail shops. Rolling doors can be manually operated or automated with a motorized opener.
    

3. Fire Doors: Fire-rated doors are designed to prevent the spread of flames in the event of a fire. They are typically made from heavy-duty steel and are equipped with a fire-resistant core. These doors are commonly used in industrial settings, such as factories and chemical plants.
    

4. High-Speed Doors: High-speed doors are designed for businesses that require frequent access to their storage areas. These doors can open and close quickly, which helps to improve productivity and reduce energy costs. They are commonly used in distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and food processing plants.

Features and Benefits:

​

1. Durability: Commercial garage doors are built to withstand the rigors of daily use. They are made from high-quality materials, such as steel or aluminum, which makes them durable and resistant to wear and tear.
    

2. Security: Commercial garage doors provide an extra layer of security for businesses. They are equipped with heavy-duty locks and other security features to prevent unauthorized access to the storage area.
    

3. Insulation: Insulated garage doors can help to reduce energy costs by keeping the indoor temperature more stable. This can be especially beneficial for businesses that store temperature-sensitive items, such as food or pharmaceuticals.
    

4. Customization: Commercial garage doors can be customized to meet the unique needs of a business. They can be made to fit any size opening, and can be painted or coated to match the building's exterior.
    

Maintaining and Repairing Commercial Garage Doors:
 

Like any other piece of equipment, commercial garage doors require regular maintenance to keep them in good working order. Here are some tips for maintaining and repairing your commercial garage doors:
 

1. Regular inspections: Inspect your garage doors on a regular basis to ensure that they are functioning properly. Look for signs of wear and tear, such as frayed cables or worn springs, and have them repaired or replaced as needed.
    

2. Lubrication: Keep the moving parts of your garage doors well-lubricated to prevent them from sticking or squeaking. Use a silicone-based lubricant to avoid attracting dust and dirt.
    

3. Cleaning: Clean your garage doors regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to avoid scratching the surface of the door.
    

4. Professional repairs: If you notice any problems with your garage doors that you are not able to fix yourself, it's important to call a professional. Attempting to repair garage doors without proper training and equipment can be dangerous.

Garage doors are an important part of a business's security and can pose a safety risk if they are not properly maintained or repaired. Emergency garage door issues can occur at any time, and it's important to know how to handle them to keep your family and property safe.

​

Here are some common emergency garage door issues and what you can do to address them:

​

1. The door won't open or close: This could be due to a malfunctioning opener or a problem with the door's tracks. Check to see if the opener is plugged in and working properly. If it is, then check the tracks for any debris or damage. Clear any obstacles and try opening and closing the door again.
    

2. The door is stuck: If the door is stuck in one position, it could be due to a broken spring or cable. These are complex repairs and should only be performed by a professional garage door technician. Do not attempt to repair them yourself, as it can be dangerous.
    

3. The door is making loud noises: If your garage door is making loud grinding or screeching noises, it could be due to a lack of lubrication on the moving parts. You can apply a silicone-based lubricant to the tracks, rollers, and hinges to reduce the noise.
    

4. The door is off its tracks: If the door appears to be off its tracks or is uneven, do not attempt to move it. This is a serious issue that requires immediate attention from a professional technician. Moving the door could cause further damage or injury.
    

In any emergency garage door situation, safety should be your top priority. If you are unsure of how to handle a particular issue or feel unsafe, contact a professional garage door technician for assistance. Regular maintenance and inspection of your garage door can help prevent many emergency issues from occurring in the first place.
