Your commercial garage doors put up with a lot of wear and tear. Day in and day out, you open and close your commercial doors hundreds or even thousands of times. They also stand up to the extreme weather during both summer and winter. And all the while, they’re exposed to contact with machinery and merchandise.
As industrial door repair experts, we know firsthand that business owners everywhere are grateful for these mechanical masterpieces — but it’s important to remember that they’re not immune to damage, either. Here are some common warning signs that you should call garage door specialists to service your commercial doors!
The Door Is Unusually Noisy
When your commercial garage door opens or closes, does it sound like a banshee has suddenly walked into your warehouse? This is a common sign that you need garage door service. In many cases, a garage door technician will lubricate your door rollers, and the sound will go away. However, there are some situations that will require repair or replacement. A good garage door repair crew will communicate with you throughout the process to inform you about what needs to be done.
The Door Keeps Getting Stuck
You should be able to open or close your commercial garage door smoothly without any hiccups. If the door regularly gets stuck for any reason, it may have broken springs, broken cables, or another common door problem. You may need the door replaced or repaired, depending on the situation.
The Door Is a Safety Hazard
Commercial-grade overhead doors are even heavier than standard garage doors and have many moving parts. Because of this, malfunctioning doors can quickly become a threat to people entering and exiting commercial properties. If you notice that your commercial garage doors have begun opening and closing erratically, the safety features aren’t working, or the doors have almost caused accidents, you’re overdue for garage door repair service. Don’t put off this important task since doing so can lead to very real consequences!
The Door Is a Security Issue
It just makes sense not to endanger your employees and customers — or your business’s bottom line! If your door has begun jeopardizing the security of people or products because it won’t close, has missing or broken panels, or won’t lock properly, it’s time to book professional garage door services. If the security issue is severe, experts may recommend that you replace your commercial garage doors entirely so that you won’t need to worry about future problems. They also might recommend supplementary measures in addition to door replacement, such as one of our state-of-the-art security gates for businesses.
It’s Been Over 12 Months
Commercial garage doors should be serviced at least once per year so that they can remain functional on the job site. If it’s been over a year since your last commercial door tune-up, it’s time to reach out to the experts to book inspection and maintenance services.
