Commercial garage doors
Commercial garage doors across Broward and Palm Beach County
Roll-up and sectional doors for shops, bays and warehouses. We look at the door and operator, say whether it needs repair or replacement, and quote the price at the door.
Signs a commercial door needs work
The door industry’s trade group, DASMA, flags each of these.
| What the door is doing | What it usually is | When to call |
|---|---|---|
| The door closes only while you hold the button | A sensing edge or photo eye that isn’t working; safety standard UL 325 then requires holding the button | This week |
| The operator strains, or the door drifts down | A possible counterbalance problem; have the springs checked | This week |
| The door binds, jerks or won’t stay open | An unbalanced door wears the operator out early | This week |
| Slats or sections are bent after a hit | A damaged curtain, bottom bar or guides that can jam the door | Call today |
| A storm just passed | Every door should be checked after high wind, whatever the last check date | Call today |
How a commercial visit goes
-
You tell us about the door
Roll-up or sectional, hand chain or motor, and what it’s doing. That gives us a first idea, and we confirm it at the door.
-
We look at the door and operator
Curtain or sections, guides or tracks, springs, sensing edge, photo eyes, and whether it balances by hand. You get the price at the door, before any work.
-
We repair or replace what failed
Parts, an operator or a whole door, matched to the opening and the wind rating the building needs.
-
We test the safety devices
Sensing edge, photo eyes and limits get tested and the door is cycled. We show you what changed before we leave.
Roll-up or sectional, hand or motor
- Two kinds of door
A roll-up door coils a curtain of slats into a spiral above the opening; DASMA says it typically serves commercial and industrial buildings. A sectional door is hinged panels riding in tracks.
- How it’s operated
By hand, chain hoist or crank, or by an electric operator. An operator has a duty cycle, the cycles per period it’s designed for, so a busy door needs one that fits.
- What keeps people safe
A sensing edge on the bottom bar or photo eyes stop or reverse the door. Photo eyes belong no higher than 6 inches off the floor.

Hurricane season and a large door
Roll-up doors often fill a building’s largest openings, so storm prep and follow-up matter.
- A rolling door should be closed before a high-wind event, DASMA says, since an open one leaves walls, ceiling and roof vulnerable. Backing a vehicle against it adds no strength Source
- After high wind, DASMA calls for an immediate check of every door in the facility, no matter when the last inspection was Source

Commercial door questions
Do commercial garage doors need a hurricane rating?
They need a rating for the wind load their building and address produce. In Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that includes impact testing.
How often should a commercial roll-up door be serviced?
DASMA advises a technician inspect a rolling door at least yearly, or as the maker directs, and staff check an electric one quarterly.
Does a commercial door operator have to meet UL 325?
DASMA says the federal residential rule doesn’t cover commercial operators, but building code, OSHA, insurers or a job spec may still require UL 325.
How much does a commercial garage door cost?
It depends on the door type, size, wind rating and operator. We give the price at the door, once we’ve seen it, before any work.
Can you repair a door that a truck has hit?
We come out and look. Bent tracks or guides can sometimes be put right; if not, we say so and quote a replacement.
