What's wrong with it

The commercial door failures we see most.

Commercial doors run more cycles, carry more weight, and take more hits than any house door. Most calls come back to one of these.

Broken springs on a high-traffic door

Standard springs are rated around 10,000 cycles. A busy service bay can burn through that in a year. When one breaks the door won't lift, or the operator strains and stops. We replace them with springs sized for your door's weight and actual traffic.

How you know: A loud bang, then a door the operator can barely move. On a sectional door you can see a gap in the spring above the opening.

Rolling door off its guides or jammed

Roll-up doors get hit by forklifts and trucks. A bent slat or broken endlock catches in the guide and the curtain jams partway or comes out of the track.

How you know: The door stops at the same spot every time, sits crooked, or the curtain has pulled out of one side guide.

Operator failures

Burned-out motors, failed limit switches, worn drive components, fried logic boards, photo eyes knocked out of line. We diagnose the operator on site and repair it, or quote a correctly rated replacement if it's undersized for the door.

How you know: The door hums without moving, reverses for no reason, stops short of the floor, or only runs on constant pressure.

Impact damage

Backed-into sections, bent tracks, and damaged bottom rails. We replace damaged sections or slats and straighten or replace tracks so the door runs true again.

How you know: Visible dents or creases, a door that binds at one height, or daylight showing along the bottom seal.

What we repair

Doors, hardware, and operators.

One call covers the whole opening: the door, what lifts it, and what runs it.

Sectional overhead doors

Insulated and non-insulated steel, aluminum full-view, and the springs, cables, rollers, hinges, and tracks behind them.
Rolling steel and roll-up doors

Slats, endlocks, guides, bottom bars, barrel springs, and chain hoists on service doors and warehouse openings.
Rolling sheet doors

The corrugated doors on self-storage units and small shops. Spring tension, latches, and damaged curtains.
Commercial operators

LiftMaster commercial operators and other major brands: motors, boards, limit switches, safety edges, and photo eyes.
High-cycle spring upgrades

For doors that run all day, springs rated for the traffic so you stop paying for the same repair every year.
Seals and weatherstripping

Bottom seals, perimeter seals, and brush seals to keep out weather, pests, and heating costs.

How it works

What happens on a commercial call.

Describe the door

Type of door, size, what it does or does not do, and whether the building can be secured. A photo of the door and the operator label helps us bring the right parts.

Make it safe

If the door is stuck open or hanging unevenly, the first job is securing it so nobody gets hurt and the building can be closed.

Diagnose and quote

We find the actual failure and quote the fix before starting. If a part has to be ordered, you get the lead time up front.

Repair and test

The door and operator are balanced, adjusted, and tested through full cycles, with safety reverse checked before we leave.

What affects the cost

What moves the price on a commercial repair.

Commercial doors vary too much for a flat price: a 10-foot storage door and a 20-foot insulated service door are different jobs. Here is what changes the number. Estimates are free.

Door type and size

Rolling steel, sectional, and rolling sheet doors use different parts. Bigger and heavier doors take bigger springs and more labor.

Parts on the truck or ordered

Common springs, cables, and rollers are on the truck. Specific slats, sections, or operator boards may be ordered, which can mean two visits.

Operator involvement

A door-only repair costs less than one where the operator also needs a board, motor, or re-sizing.

Standard or high-cycle parts

High-cycle springs cost more up front and last several times longer on a busy door.

Number of doors

Several doors at one site in one visit costs less per door than separate calls.

Commercial door questions.

Have a question that isn't here? Call (540) 293-0197 and you'll get a straight answer.

What kinds of commercial doors do you repair?

Sectional overhead doors, rolling steel and roll-up doors, rolling sheet doors on storage units, full-view aluminum doors, and the operators that run them. That covers most warehouses, shops, service bays, storage facilities, and retail back doors in the Roanoke Valley.

Can you repair a door or operator you didn't install?

Yes. We're an authorized LiftMaster dealer and certified on their commercial operator line, including older models still in the field, and we work on the other major brands too. Most of the commercial doors we fix were installed by someone else.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service for businesses?

Around-the-clock response is for our service-contract customers. Everyone else gets priority scheduling during business hours, and a door that won't close on a building that can't be secured goes to the front of the line.

Our door takes a beating every day. How do we stop the breakdowns?

Match the parts to the traffic. A door that cycles 30 times a day on standard springs will break them within a year or two. High-cycle springs, a properly rated operator, and a scheduled maintenance visit based on cycle count stop most repeat calls. We'll tell you whether a service contract actually pays off for your door count.

Can you fix a rolling door that is off its guides or stuck halfway?

Yes, and please don't force it. A roll-up door off its guides or jammed partway usually has a bent slat, a broken endlock, or a spring problem in the barrel. Forcing it with the chain hoist or operator bends more curtain. Leave it where it is and call.

Do you handle multiple doors or locations?

Yes. Self-storage, property managers, dealerships, and fleet shops often have a row of doors. We can inspect them all in one visit, prioritize what's close to failing, and put the rest on a maintenance schedule.
