Commercial Overhead Door Maintenance - Edmonton

Maintenance Plans for Operational Safety

Gates Doors Fencing Solutions recommends commercial overhead door maintenance plans to ensure operational safety, reduce repair cost and downtime and to increase the life of the door.

With regular maintenance inspections we are able to identify any parts or components that may be showing signs of fatigue or failure. Scheduling regular maintenance will enhance reliability while preventing minor problems from becoming major issues that could create potential safety hazards.

For commercial businesses that can’t afford or need to minimize downtime overhead door maintenance can offer a viable solution.

Overhead Door Maintenance Service

Our maintenance plans include the following performance services:

Visual Inspection - we check all parts and components to ensure everything is in working order and replace any worn, damaged or broken equipment-piece or fastener related to the overhead door.

Track Inspection - we’ll make sure the door track is clear of any impairment or debris and confirm it is properly aligned.

Lubrication of Parts - we use manufacturer recommended lubrication for hinges, rollers, tracks and springs which increases mobility while reducing friction for increased longevity and performance.

Inspect Nuts & Bolts - we’ll confirm all nuts and bolts are tight and secure on all brackets, hinges and spring plates.

Torsion Spring Adjustment - we’ll lubricate and check and when needed, adjust the torsion spring which ensures the door is balanced and opens or closes correctly or operates at an incorrect speed.

Inspect Cables and Pulleys - inspect cables and pulleys for any visual damage, diagnosing any issue causing the cable fatigue and service and repair as required.

Check Insulation, Seals and Strips - we’ll ensure your door is energy efficient and keeping outdoor temperatures from infiltrating into the building.

Look for Signs of Rust - we’ll visually inspect the door and any parts that are exposed to rain, water, salt or sand to prevent early corrosion or metal fatigue.
