Commercial Garage Door Maintenance In Mauldin, SC

Thorough Inspections

Our maintenance service begins with a comprehensive inspection of your commercial garage doors. Our experienced technicians examine every component, including springs, cables, tracks, rollers, and panels, to ensure that each part is in optimal condition. Our inspections cover:

• Visual Inspection: We check for any visible signs of wear, rust, or damage on the door panels, springs, tracks, and cables.
• Operational Testing: We test the functionality of the door’s movement, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly without jerking or delays.
• Balance Testing: Our team checks that the door remains properly balanced, preventing undue stress on the motor and reducing wear on parts.
• Safety Features Testing: We ensure that sensors, photo-eye systems, and auto-reverse functions are working correctly to prevent accidents and enhance safety.

Lubrication of Moving Parts

The moving components of a garage door, such as rollers, hinges, tracks, and springs, must be lubricated regularly to prevent friction, reduce wear, and ensure smooth operation. Our technicians use high-quality lubricants to extend the life of these parts and improve the efficiency of your garage door. Regular lubrication helps to:

• Reduce friction, minimizing wear and tear on mechanical parts.
• Ensure quiet operation, reducing disruptive noise in your workplace.
• Improve the longevity of your door’s components, saving you on replacement costs.

Adjustments and Calibration

Over time, commercial garage doors can shift or become misaligned, resulting in uneven opening and closing. This can put stress on the door opener and other components, leading to premature wear. As part of our maintenance services, we adjust the door’s springs, cables, and tracks to ensure proper alignment and tension. Our goal is to make sure your door operates efficiently, without straining the opener or causing unnecessary damage. Adjustments include:

• Spring Tension: We check and adjust the tension of the torsion or extension springs to ensure smooth and balanced movement.
• Cable Tension: We examine the cables for any signs of fraying or wear and adjust the tension as needed to keep the door functioning properly.
• Track Alignment: Misaligned tracks can cause the door to stick or make grinding noises. We realign the tracks and check for any obstructions.

Testing and Recalibrating Door Openers

Your commercial garage door opener is the motorized unit responsible for the operation of the door. Ensuring that the opener functions smoothly is critical to minimizing downtime. During our maintenance service, we test the opener to ensure that it responds correctly to commands and doesn’t show signs of mechanical failure. This includes:

• Testing the motor’s responsiveness and ensuring it’s operating at peak efficiency.
• Recalibrating remote controls or keypads to ensure the door responds accurately.
• Inspecting the drive mechanism (chain, belt, or screw drive) for any wear, and lubricating or replacing it as needed.

If necessary, we also provide recommendations for upgrading to a more efficient, high-performance opener that better suits your business’s needs.

Replacing Worn Parts

During the maintenance process, our team will identify any parts that are showing signs of significant wear or damage. Whether it’s a fraying cable, a broken spring, or a cracked roller, we’ll replace these parts before they cause a major issue. We use high-quality replacement parts to ensure durability and reliability, helping to keep your doors running smoothly for years to come.
