Work Doors Take a Beating

A door on a shop, barn or equipment building opens often, moves a great deal of weight and gets bumped by machinery. It may be a sectional door many feet wide, or a rolling steel door with a heavy curtain and spring barrel.

We look at the door as built, then at how it is used. Springs, cables, track, rollers and operators are checked against the load, and damage from impacts is repaired or replaced. If a door has been modified or fitted with mismatched parts over the years, we tell you what is safe and what should change. We repair what makes sense.

Trouble on a Work Door

  • Bent track after an impact

    A bumped track lets a heavy door jam or leave its guide. It should be straightened or replaced before the door is used again.

  • Operator overheating or tripping

    A motor that runs hot or cuts out often points to a door that is out of balance, or an operator undersized for the weight.

  • Curtain or panel damage

    Dented slats, torn panels and damaged guides let the door bind, sag or fall short of closing, and the damage tends to spread.

How We Handle It

  1. 1

    Identify the door type

    We confirm whether it is sectional or rolling steel, check its rating where there is one and measure the opening and the load.

  2. 2

    Repair or replace parts

    Springs, track, cables, rollers, guides and operators are renewed with parts that suit the door and its daily use.

  3. 3

    Test under load

    Balance, limits and safety devices are checked, and the door is run through full travel several times before we finish.

Work Door Questions

Can you repair rolling steel doors?

Yes, including springs, curtains, guides and operators. These doors are built differently from sectional ones, so we examine how yours is assembled before deciding what a repair involves, and we tell you what can be saved.

Can a large door get an operator that keeps up?

Often. Heavy-duty and jackshaft operators exist for big, busy doors. We size one to the door's weight, height and how many times a day it cycles, and we check that the springs are carrying the weight first.

What if the door was modified or built by the owner?

We work with it as it stands. If the parts do not match the load, we explain what to change to make the door safe. We also say plainly when replacement would be the better path than continued patching.

A Work Door Down?

Describe the door type, its size and what happened. We can discuss what probably went wrong and what fixing it involves.
