Commercial Door Repairs

No Way Unless You Weight It. It isn't as simple as replacing the broken spring with a new one of the exact same size. Doors usually have weight added to them over time. Most often reinforcement struts. To know for sure, you take the tension off, weigh it, and calculate springs needed by also taking into account the door's height, width, drums and track radius.

We perform a complete audit of the door and the torsion system. This means inspecting bearing plates, cables, hinges and the torsion shaft.

On about half of the commercial doors we look at, we find some residential parts being used. This is dangerous as commercial garage doors are heavier and under more stress.

We source all of our commercial springs from CHI, the most reliable and high quality supplier in the market.

When a door has a cable side, the tension doubles up on the other side. This creates a very dangerous situation if someone decides to take a bracket off.

We are able to quickly resolve these issues by using winches and jacks. This saves you money since most commercial is billed by the labor hour.

Once we get the cable reset, we will take the time to figure out what caused it and address it right then and there. Seems obvious, but most companies would rather get called back multiple times to address the same issue.

Rollers are like the tires on your car. They take a lot of abuse and wear out relatively quickly. Worn out rollers create extra stress on the whole system.

Unlike residential, steel rollers are as good an option as nylon rollers. The important thing is that rollers have ball bearings.

Rollers will also quiet down a garage door

Tracks can most often be bent back because they are a heavier gauge steel. Most garage door companies won't tell you this because they want to make more money.

If they do replacement, it is usually the vertical track that is damaged. We can cut out the damaged part and replace it with new raw track.

Hinges wear out almost as fast as rollers. As you go up on both sides of the door, each panel requires a different hinge (as measured by angle). You'd be surprised how often we find the wrong hinges in the wrong places, not allowing panels to bend the way that they should.

One of the key benefits of a chain hoist is improved safety. The controlled, steady movement of the door minimizes the risk of accidents, particularly in busy commercial environments where heavy equipment and vehicles are frequently present. Additionally, the chain hoist system ensures that the door remains securely in place when opened or closed, preventing sudden drops.

Durability is another advantage. Chain hoists are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of commercial settings, providing reliable performance over time with minimal maintenance. This durability makes them a cost-effective solution for businesses seeking a dependable method to manage heavy garage doors.

Finally, chain hoists offer ease of operation. Even in the absence of power, they allow employees to open and close the door smoothly and efficiently. For warehouses, workshops, and other commercial facilities, a chain hoist is an essential tool that enhances functionality and safety.
