Commercial overhead doors

Commercial garage door repair for doors that work all day

When a commercial overhead door stops working, the door is only part of the problem. A loading area that will not open or close slows deliveries, leaves the building exposed and holds up everyone who works there. Commercial garage door repair covers the parts that give out on these doors: springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, tracks, panels and the operator that drives them. We repair overhead doors for businesses in Zionsville, a town in Boone County, Indiana, next to Indianapolis, and in the nearby communities north and west of the city.

A commercial door is asked to do far more than a door on a house. It cycles many more times in a day, the panels are often heavier steel or insulated sections, and the cable and drum system carries that extra load every time. Many of them run on high-cycle springs, which are rated for more openings than the standard type, and a worn set tends to fail together. That is why a spring repair on a commercial door starts with checking both springs and both cables, not just the one that broke.

We work on sectional doors that travel up a track in panels, and on rolling steel doors that coil into a barrel at the top of the opening. The parts are different but the questions are the same: is the door balanced, is it travelling straight, and are the safety devices doing their job. If a door is stuck open or stuck closed, keep people and vehicles clear of it and do not run the operator against a door that is jammed or hanging crooked. Tell us what it is doing when you call and we will tell you what to leave alone until we arrive.

What we check on a commercial overhead door

Springs, cables and drums

The springs carry the weight of the door and the cables and drums pass that weight to the panels. We look at spring condition, cable fraying, drum seating and whether the door stays level when lifted by hand. A door that hangs crooked is usually telling us a cable or spring on one side has let go.

Tracks, rollers and hinges

Heavy doors push tracks out of plumb over time, and worn rollers and cracked hinges let a panel drag or bind. We check the track alignment, the brackets holding it to the wall, and every roller and hinge along the door.

Panels and weather seals

A panel struck by a vehicle or a pallet can buckle, crack or push the whole door out of square. We check each panel, the joints between them and the bottom seal, and tell you plainly whether one damaged panel can be dealt with or the door has taken too much.

Operators and controls

Trolley operators, wall-mounted operators and hoists fail through worn gears, bad limit settings, loose drive parts and damaged wiring. Repairing the opener is often the right call before anyone talks about replacing it, and we also install a new commercial operator sized to the weight and use of the door.

Safety devices

Photo eyes, bottom safety edges and wall controls protect people and vehicles at the opening. We test that the door reverses when it should and that the beam and edge respond, because a door that closes on something is a bigger problem than a door that will not close.

Commercial overhead door questions

How do I choose a commercial garage door company?
Choose one that inspects the door before it quotes and explains the problem in plain words. Ask whether the company is licensed and insured, whether the price is given before work begins, and whether the repair carries a warranty. We are licensed and insured, we give an upfront quote before any work begins, and our repairs and installations are backed by a parts-and-labor warranty.
How is the price of a commercial door repair worked out?
The price follows the parts and the door. A broken cable costs less to put right than a set of springs, a bent track or a damaged panel, and a large or heavy door needs larger parts. The technician looks at the opening first and gives you the quote before any work begins, so the number is settled before anything is taken apart.
Should I repair or replace a commercial overhead door?
Repair it when the damage is in the parts around the door, such as springs, cables, rollers, a bent length of track or the operator. Replace it when the panels are buckled or cracked in several places, when the door keeps failing in different spots, or when parts are no longer worth fitting to it. If it comes to that, we also handle installing a new overhead door.
Can you install a new commercial door opener?
Yes. We install commercial garage door openers and replace failed ones. The operator has to suit the weight of the door, its size and how often it cycles, so we check the door first and recommend a trolley, wall-mounted or hoist operator that fits, then set the limits and test the safety devices.
Is it safe to keep using a damaged commercial door?
No. A door with a broken spring, a frayed cable or a crooked hang can drop or jam without warning. Stop using it, keep people and vehicles clear of the opening, and leave the springs and cables alone, because they hold a great deal of stored force. Tell us what you see and we will explain what is safe to do until we arrive.
What should I have ready when I call?
Know whether the door is sectional or rolling steel, whether it is stuck open or closed, and what happened just before it stopped. Note any bang, grinding or sagging, and whether the operator hums, runs or does nothing. That lets us bring the parts most likely to be needed.
