Commercial Garage Doors 101

commercial garage door 101

Commercial garage doors can be as big as 24 ft. wide and 20 ft. high. These doors also vary in terms of style, appearance, and energy-efficiency. Fire-rated commercial garage doors can also be constructed. The various types of commercial garage doors available to you as well as what components are required are outlined in the proceeding sections.

Types of Commercial Garage Doors

Sectional Doors: With hinged sections, sectional garage doors manufactured in your choice of steel or aluminum provide reliable, uncompromising performance. 2” polystyrene insulation delivers superior R-values for increased energy-efficiency in most any application, including warehouse, mechanics and auto dealership applications. *

High Speed: Manufacturing, distribution, food/beverage, and pharmaceutical industries will appreciate the fast response rate of high speed rolling doors. These doors feature 4-second or less operation, advanced safety features, and low maintenance requirements. Custom models, sizes, and colors are available as well.

Rolling Service Doors: Ideal for situations where side room and headroom are at a premium, rolling service doors are available in a range of slat profiles, curtain materials, and colors to compliment most any aesthetic. Doors roll up into a “barrel” above the door. Rolling service doors can be custom configured for any application.

Additional System Components

Torsion Springs

All commercial garage doors require torsion springs that use stored tension to counterbalance the weight of the door as it opens and closes. Because of this tension, torsion springs should always be professionally installed, serviced or repaired. You can, however, apply lubricant (either white lithium grease or silicone-based) to the entire length of the torsion spring to help maintain the spring’s longevity.

Commercial Operators

Commercial garage doors require commercial operators. Available options include jackshaft operators, slide door operators, slow-speed and gearhead hoist operators, and trolley operators – all from brand name manufacturers. Consult a commercial garage door service professional for advice on which operator will work best with your commercial garage door.

Great Guys and Great Work

The tech was on time to the second I think, very professional and super nice Chris – nice work my friend!   The opener they selected for me is a terrific and great price, Wifi and the myQ app are great as well.

They sent someone out right away at 4:30pm on a Monday. Tre was our technician and did an amazing job getting our door back to working condition without breaking the bank. I will always suggest them to anyone who asks.

For the past few months, my garage door would not shut. It will close halfway get stuck and the motor would bring it back. Not to mention it sounded like a blender filled with nails while closing and opening. Finally decided to get it to check out and these guys were the first to respond. Had an appointment sent within 15 min. A technician named Jimmy came over the next day and got it all done. My garage door never sounded so silent and go down as smooth once new parts were added. Definitely will be recommending these guys!

This company is very responsive, contacted them on a Sunday night and they replied right away.  Then set an appointment at a time convenient for me.

Very polite and easy to work with.  Travis, the owner, is hands-on.

I had an extremely positive experience with this company, and I have to praise Michelle in the front office for her patience and customer service attitude.

When my 20-year-old Liftmaster garage door opener began to fail, I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching new openers and my options.  The logicboard wasn’t working – so the unit still moved the door up and down, but responded only to the wall switch and not the remote. While that was inconvenient, I had time to look around.

After months of exploration and repeated estimates, when I finally decided on a model, they didn’t have it in stock. Michelle quickly located one and offered an appointment the next business day.

The technician who showed up, Zach, was relatively new, but assured me that he had great training and mentoring by the company.  And so far, I am very pleased with the work.  I thought he was polite, clean, well-skilled, and astute — and at my request, also diagnosed and repaired a squealing in the door.  The door is quiet and the alignment is good.

I would definitely have them back for any additional work! (which I hope doesn’t happen soon!)

When it was time to change the garage door, we called these pros for help, and they responded to our needs immediately.

The team arrived exactly when they said they would, and explained everything they were going to do, along with different options for me. It took them an hour to complete the job, and it was amazing! Very precise and clean!!!

Will use them again for all my garage door needs!

Honestly, I haven’t had such great customer service in years. From the first phone call to the minute they left I never felt pressured, a hard sell or that I was being sold something I didn’t “need”. So informative and honest. So refreshing!! The background checks their employees for safety. They text/email your appointment time, when the technician is on the way, and the estimate. Makes the whole experience a positive one. Thanks, Travis, Chris, and Cody. Keep up the great work. You prove that great customer care is still important.

We were so thrilled with the excellent quality of service and quick response we received yesterday. Jimmy Tafoya was quick, honest, and pleasant. The door went off the rails so we called on a Saturday afternoon for emergency service. He fixed the problem in 2 hours. We thought we would need a new door it was so screwed up but he fixed it very well at a lower cost. We are very thankful.

My hinge was bent. Jay came out the same day. Repaired and realigned. Very efficient, knowledgeable, and did a great job. Would definitely call again for garage needs.

I wish this company provided other random services because I would use them for anything!

I sent a request for a quote via Yelp at 3:56 pm and received a reply from Travis at 3:57 pm. He said he could have a technician to my home between 4-6 pm That Day! Like within the next 2 hours. Before I committed, though I had to ask a few questions. First, could the technician please wear a mask and gloves because we have high-risk people in our home during Covid? Answer – no problem at all. Second, could you provide a ballpark estimate based on my description of the problem? Yup!

I then received a text with my appointment confirmation, and 20 minutes before the technician arrived, I received a lengthy text with a photo, background check information, and instructions on what to expect when he arrives. Then Jay called personally to let me know to expect him.

When he arrived, he looked at the job, gave me an estimate, and went to work. 20 min later, he was done, with no extra hidden fees. He accepted my credit card verbally so that we didn’t have any close contact.

The garage works perfectly!
