Commercial Garage Door Maintenance


The maintenance of your building's garage doors must be taken seriously. Your employees' safety and the smooth running of your operations (receiving/shipping, etc.) depend on it.

We recommend that you call us to look after the maintenance of your garage doors.

Why do they break all the time?
A garage door system is an important component of a building. It is important to understand what might be happening if the system is not performing according to the user's expectations.
  • The accessories that have been installed are not appropriate for the usage of the door system (actual number of operation cycles has been underestimated).
  • The number of cycles of the torsion springs is not appropriate to the frequency of use(springs break more often).
  • Inappropriate operation by users.
How to reduce maintenance costs?
If you select the components best suited to the conditions of operation of your doors and do regular maintenance before they break, you will significantly reduce your annual maintenance costs. The incremental cost of your initial investment would be about 10% to insure that you have the components best suited to your operating conditions.

To help you determine at which frequency you should perform preventive maintenance on your doors, we have divided the sectional doors in 3 categories.

  • Type A buildings that require maintenance every 3 months (more than 7,500 cycles per year).
    Example: apartment building or condominium, transit company.

  • Type B buildings that require maintenance every 6 months (between 3,000 and 7,500 cycles per year).
    Example: auto repair shop, car dealership, distribution center.

  • Type C buildings that require maintenance every 12 months (less than 3,000 cycles per year).
    Example : municipal garage, fire station, warehouse
What are the maintenance costs?
  • You can enter into an annual maintenance contract with us.

  • You can also pay for the work done on an hourly basis.

In all cases, it is preferable to set up a technical file for each of your garage doors, so that we will be able to respond promptly in case your door would need emergency service.
