Commercial service

Commercial overhead door repair for working buildings

A commercial garage door is not a bigger residential door. It cycles far more often, carries more weight, and when it stops it can stop the whole business with it. A door that serves a loading dock or a shop bay may open and close dozens of times in a working day, which wears springs, cables, rollers and the operator much sooner than a home door.

Commercial garage door repair covers the same families of parts as a home job, built heavier. Torsion springs on commercial doors often use larger wire sizes and extra springs, with cable drums and bearing plates to match. Track is thicker and often uses angle mounting. Operators are usually a trolley type or a jackshaft that mounts on the wall beside the door, and many commercial doors also have a safety edge on the bottom and photo eyes at the opening.

The usual faults are the same ones, only more often: a snapped spring, a frayed cable, a door that has jumped the track after a forklift or a delivery truck clipped it, panels buckled at the bottom, a roll up door that binds in its guides, or an operator that trips off. If your building is warm inside and Minnesota is cold outside, a loose seal also costs you heating, so we look at that during the visit.

If the existing door is too far gone, we also replace it, and a new door installed can be quoted from the same visit.

Doors we handle

Doors and faults we repair

Sectional overhead doors

Insulated and uninsulated steel panels on vertical or low headroom track, found on shops, service bays and warehouse openings. We repair springs, cables, hinges, rollers and damaged panels.

Roll up doors

Rolling steel doors wind on a barrel over the opening. When a roll up garage door binds, sags or will not retract, we check the barrel, the springs, the guides and the slats, and repair or replace what has failed.

Loading dock doors

Dock doors take impacts from trucks and forklifts. We straighten or replace bent track, reset a door that has come off its rollers, and fix seals that no longer close against the dock.

Springs and cables under heavy use

High cycle use wears springs out. When a spring breaks, we replace it along with a check of the cables and drums, since they carry the same load. Spring replacement on a heavy door is a job for a trained technician, not a quick fix.

Operators and safety devices

We repair commercial operators, wall controls, safety edges and photo eyes. A door that reverses or trips the operator off is often a sensor or a limit setting, not a dead motor.

Panels and seals

A dented bottom panel lets in cold and pests. We replace damaged panels where the door model allows it and renew weatherstripping so the opening closes tight.

Common questions

Commercial garage door questions

What kinds of commercial doors do you repair?
We repair sectional overhead doors, roll up doors and loading dock doors, along with their springs, cables, track, operators and safety devices. If you are not sure what type of door you have, describe it and we will help sort it out.
Can you repair a roll up garage door?
Yes, we repair roll up doors that bind, sag, jam or will not retract. We check the barrel, springs, guides and slats, and replace the parts that failed. If the curtain itself is badly damaged, replacing the door may cost less than repeated repairs.
Is it safe to use a commercial door with a broken spring?
No. A broken spring leaves the door heavy and unbalanced, and forcing it can bend the track or drop the door. Keep people and vehicles clear of the opening and leave the door as it is until a technician looks at it.
How is the price worked out for a commercial repair?
The price depends on the door size and type, the parts needed and how the opening is built. We inspect first, explain what failed, and give you an upfront quote before any work begins, so you can approve it with the number in front of you.
Is it better to repair or replace a commercial door?
Repair makes sense when the fault is a spring, cable, roller or operator on a door whose panels and track are sound. Replacement makes sense when the panels are buckled, the track is bent in several places or repairs keep recurring. We tell you which it is after the inspection.
How long does a commercial door repair take?
A spring or cable replacement on a single door is usually done in one visit. Bent track, damaged panels and a replacement door take longer, and we will explain the scope when we quote the work.
Do you have licensed and insured technicians?
Yes, we are licensed and insured, and our repairs and installations are backed by a parts-and-labor warranty.
