Our Maintenance Process
Whether it’s a single-door home garage or a multi-bay commercial facility, our technicians follow a proven process to keep every system running smoothly.
- Schedule Your Visit
Start with a free estimate. Our team will assess your door type, usage frequency, and environment to create a customized maintenance schedule that fits your needs.
- Professional On-Site Inspection
Our certified technicians perform a detailed evaluation of all key components, including springs, cables, rollers, hinges, bearings, panels, tracks, and openers. We identify signs of wear before they become major issues. Commercial inspections include testing safety devices on high-speed doors, verifying rolling steel door tension systems, and checking dock levelers, shelters, and restraints for proper functionality.
- Tune-Up & Adjustment
We fine-tune balance, tension, and alignment for safe, smooth operation. Every nut, bolt, and fastener is checked and adjusted as needed. Commercial adjustments may include operator reprogramming, fire door drop testing and resetting, and cycle-count evaluations.
- Cleaning & Lubrication
We apply industry-grade lubricants to rollers, springs, and bearings, ensuring quiet performance and reducing long-term friction damage.
- Final Testing & Reporting
After service, we perform a full functionality test—open, close, reverse—then provide a detailed summary of completed work and professional recommendations. For fire-rated doors, we document required annual drop testing and certifications to maintain compliance.
It’s a proactive approach that keeps your door dependable through every season—spring tune-ups, summer readiness checks, fall lubrication, and winter safety inspections.
