When a warehouse door is down, the business is down. Scheduled around your operating hours, not ours. Call (844) 725-2228.
Commercial doors are a different trade to residential. The doors are heavier, the duty cycles are far higher, the operators are three-phase or industrial single-phase rather than a consumer opener, and the consequence of a failure is a business that cannot ship, receive or open. The right answer is usually a maintenance relationship rather than a series of emergencies.
Rolling steel doors coil onto a barrel above the opening and are standard on warehouses, storage facilities and service bays. Their failure points are the barrel spring tension, the guides, the bottom bar and the slats themselves. Adjusting barrel tension is skilled work — the assembly stores an enormous amount of energy, and this is not a job for a general handyman.
Heavier cousins of the residential sectional door, usually with high-cycle springs, heavy-duty tracks and commercial operators. Because they cycle far more often, spring cycle life is a purchasing decision rather than an afterthought: specifying a higher-cycle spring on a door that opens fifty times a day pays for itself quickly.
Commercial operators come in several control types — momentary contact, constant pressure, and fully automatic with sensing edges and photo eyes. Which one is appropriate depends on the door, the traffic and the code that applies. Bypassing a safety edge because it is inconvenient is how people get hurt and how a business acquires liability it did not need.
Levellers, bumpers, seals and restraints all sit alongside the door and all wear. A door that keeps getting damaged is often telling you that the bumpers are gone or a leveller is out of adjustment, and fixing the door repeatedly without addressing that is money spent on the same problem twice.
Scheduled inspection of springs, cables, guides, rollers, operators and safety devices catches the failures that would otherwise happen at the worst possible moment. For a facility running several doors, a maintenance schedule is almost always cheaper over a year than the emergency calls it prevents, and it lets work happen outside operating hours.
Tell us your operating hours and we will work around them, including early mornings and after close. Commercial work is scheduled with an appointment window and a clear scope, and where a part has to be ordered we tell you the realistic lead time rather than the one you want to hear.
