Commercial service

Commercial overhead door repair is not the same job as a house door

Commercial garage door repair covers the overhead doors on shops, warehouses, storefronts, service bays and loading areas. These doors are larger and heavier than a residential door, they cycle many more times a day, and they usually run on heavier hardware: wider track, larger spring systems, stronger hinges and, on many buildings, a commercial operator mounted beside the door and not on the ceiling.

The most common failures are broken torsion springs, frayed or snapped cables, rollers and hinges worn from constant use, track knocked out of line by a forklift or truck, and operators that stall, trip or lose their limit settings. Because the door is in daily use, a small fault gets bigger quickly. A door that sticks halfway also leaves a building open, or locks product in.

Some commercial buildings use sectional doors that fold up on tracks, and others use rolling steel doors that wind up on a barrel overhead. We service overhead doors at shops, warehouses and storefronts, and we ask what type you have when you call. For a door that is no longer worth repairing, we also handle a new overhead door and its opener.

Our inspection

What we check on a commercial overhead door

Springs and the shaft

Heavy doors lean on large torsion springs, and a high-cycle spring set is rated for a set number of openings. When one wears out it lets go, so we check the spring, the shaft, the bearings and the cable drums as a system.

Cables and tracks

A lift cable under heavy load frays at the drum or at the bottom bracket. We inspect both ends, the track for bends from impacts, and the vertical and horizontal alignment.

Rollers and hinges

Constant use wears out rollers and hinges fastest at the points that carry the most weight. We replace the worn ones and lubricate the rest.

Operators and safety devices

We test the operator's limits, its force settings, the photo eyes and the reversing function. A door that closes on a person or a vehicle is a liability, so these are tested, not assumed.

Panels, seals and weather strips

Dented panels, torn bottom seals and worn weather stripping let in cold, water and pests. We repair or replace what is damaged and tell you when a panel is past repair.

The process

How a commercial door repair goes

  1. Tell us about the door

    Is it a sectional or a rolling door, roughly how wide, what is it doing, and who uses it? That decides which technician and parts we bring.

  2. We come out and inspect

    Our uniformed technician comes to the building, secures the door, and goes through the springs, cables, track, rollers and operator.

  3. We explain and quote it

    You get a plain explanation of what failed and why, and an upfront quote before any work begins.

  4. We repair and test

    We replace or adjust the failed parts, rebalance the door, and test the operator and reversing devices. Repairs are backed by a parts-and-labor warranty.

A door that will not close or open properly keeps your building from doing its job.

Describe what it is doing and we will tell you what it likely needs.

Commercial FAQ

Commercial overhead door questions

Do you repair both sectional and rolling steel doors?
We service overhead doors at shops, warehouses and storefronts. Tell us what type you have and what it is doing when you call, so we know what the job involves before we come out.
How do I tell if my commercial door needs a repair or replacement?
Repair makes sense when the failed part is a spring, cable, roller, hinge or operator and the panels and track are in decent shape. Replacement is worth discussing when panels are badly damaged, or when repeated repairs keep coming back. We give a straight answer after we inspect it.
What drives the cost of a commercial door repair?
The size and weight of the door, which parts have failed, and whether the operator is involved. A larger door with a heavier spring set costs more to repair than a small one. The technician gives an upfront quote before any work begins.
Is it safe to keep using the door until it is repaired?
If a spring has broken, a cable has frayed, or the door is crooked in the track, stop using it. A door that falls can hurt someone or damage a vehicle. Keep the area under it clear until it has been checked.
Can I repair a commercial door with a handyman?
Springs and cables on a commercial door hold a large amount of stored energy, and the wrong adjustment can cause serious injury. That work is for a trained garage door technician.
What should I have ready when I call?
The approximate width of the door, whether it is sectional or rolling, what it did when it failed, and whether an operator is fitted. A description of any impact helps too.
