Commercial doors are used harder than house doors, and older ones on shops or farm buildings have often been repaired in pieces over many years. A sectional door has springs and cables much like a home door; a rolling steel door has a curtain that coils around a barrel.
The common thread is wear and missing safety devices. Operators may lack edge sensors or a working photo beam, springs may be fatigued, and guides may be bent. We inspect what you have, explain what is worn and repair or upgrade it so the door can be used safely.
A door that jams, runs crooked or settles on its own after you stop it has lost balance and puts the operator under strain.
Bent guides, a dented curtain or a track pulled from the wall let the door catch, and can cause worse damage if left.
A door with no safety edge, no working sensor or an operator that does not stop on contact is a risk to anyone nearby.
Sectional, rolling steel or something older, the type determines the springs, hardware and operator. We confirm it before planning the repair.
Springs, barrel, cables, guides and brackets are checked, because these carry the weight and are the likeliest to fail.
We add or repair safety edges, sensors and manual release, so the door stops when something is in the way.
The door is run through full travel, the stop and reverse functions are tested and we explain anything worth watching.
Yes. The curtain, barrel, springs, guides and operator can each be assessed and repaired. Describe the door and its condition when you phone, and we will explain what is realistic for it and what may be worth replacing instead.
Often, if the operator can accept a sensor or an edge device. If it cannot, we explain why and describe the replacement options, so you can decide what is practical for your building and the way the door is used.
Keep people clear and do not force it. Check that nothing is blocking the opening or the sensors, then tell us what the door is doing. We will explain what to check next and what to expect, in plain terms, over the phone.
Tell us what kind of door it is and what it is doing. We will explain the likely cause and the options.
