Commercial Storefront & Garage Door Repair Service for Businesses

We know how important your storefront and overhead doors are to the daily operations of your business. Not only is a broken commercial door an inconvenience, it could affect your company’s bottom line in downtime, energy loss, accidents, or other problems.

A broken door doesn’t just mean one that won’t open at all. If your door is noisy, hard to open, or just awkward, it could cause your customers, or even your employees, to look elsewhere for their needs. Your storefront door system should be attractive, secure and convenient. Your commercial garage doors need to operate safely and smoothly.

If you feel like these things don’t describe the commercial doors and windows at your facility, it might be time for a tune up. Our commercial door repair service is just what you need for your business. Whether you’d like to replace your commercial door with a brand new one or just repair it to optimal condition, we can help.

Types of Commercial Garage Doors for New Installation

There are a few different kinds of garage doors available for businesses. The right door depends on what purpose the door will serve. Are you looking to load equipment in and out of the building? Will you need to allow for trucks? How much do security and appearance matter? You also need to consider light, ventilation, energy-efficiency, insulation, the overhead door opener, etc.

  • Overhead sectional doors are the most popular choice of commercial garage door. They open to the ceiling and can be made of a range of materials, including glass and aluminum to wood or metal. Because they are on hinges, they are very flexible, and work very well against tight space constraints.
  • Commercial rollup doors roll into a single coil when lifted. They are more versatile than panel garage doors, but tend to be thinner because of the need for the material to fit into such a tight space. They work well if rolling tracks pose challenges because of space limitations.
  • High-lift overhead doors are made to open past the header, giving you an opening with better height clearance. These industrial-grade doors also come with tracks that hug the ceiling, increasing overhead clearance inside the building.
  • High-speed, high-cycle commercial doors are another choice that can be great for streamlining loading dock procedures. These are meant for heavy, constant use. They’re often roll-up and made of industrial, thick vinyl or thin, slatted steel.

Keep in mind that it’s a good idea for your commercial doors to be fire-rated. In case of emergency, fire-rated doors can potentially save thousands in property damage and provide precious necessary time for people to evacuate. And in non-emergency situations, they’re very energy-efficient and extremely secure.

Have You Thought About Gates or Security Grilles?

Whether you’re looking to secure your outdoor lot or simply beef up security at your business’ street-facing doors, there are several different kinds of gates and barriers to choose from, with different designs, capabilities and purposes.

  • Scissor gates move from side to side, similar to a sliding lock.
  • Tilt-up gates work on a lever, and are perfect when horizontal space is limited.
  • Swing gates work well for wider openings.
  • Barrier arm gates hinder vehicle traffic without interfering with pedestrian traffic.
  • Security grilles offer extra protection for businesses where inventory is viewable from the street.

You can also consider measures like one-way spike strips for your parking lot, which are especially useful at vehicle and equipment-leasing businesses. Whatever you choose, automate your gates with smart tech for unmatched convenience and security.

Different Commercial Street-Facing Doors to Choose From

Every business storefront needs their own unique look, but it’s still got to be easy to get in and out of your shop, and you should still look at security and energy-efficiency, too. The list of types of commercial doors for storefronts is quite long – anything from antique wooden doors to aluminum and glass garage doors to double sliding glass doors.

When possible, it’s always good to choose a commercial door system with windows at your street-facing entrance. Direct line of sight into a business attracts customers because (a) they can see right away what your business makes/does, and (b) it’s welcoming.

Not to mention that once you’re inside the building, there’s tonnes of natural light – not that closed-in feeling you get in a commercial facility with halogen lighting and no windows. Commercial door glass can be fabricated with any number of treatments – there’s even bulletproof glass now. So you don’t have to worry about sacrificing energy costs or security levels just because your storefront has a lot of glass.

If you’re planning a storefront makeover, give us a call. We can help you design and source the perfect commercial door and window system, install it, and perform ongoing maintenance and later repairs as it ages.

What Do You Want Out of a Commercial Door for Your Business?

Just as commercial doors take all shapes and sizes, they also serve a range of purposes and functions. Ultimately, what you want out of a storefront or garage door will determine the type you’ll choose. Are you looking primarily for security? Then a steel garage door will likely be your best option. You could also opt for a rolling iron gate — perfect for small spaces because they store so easily.

But will the door be the face of your business? If that’s the case, style considerations are primary. A glass garage door may be best, especially if you’d like to take advantage of the Sacramento weather and have an open shop — perfect for restaurants, bars, and coffee shops that like to give their guests an outdoor dining option. And even when the weather’s cooler, glass windows do great to let in the light.

The best way to start your commercial door upgrades is to map out your wants, needs, budget, and timeline. Then it’s time to choose the garage door service company you want to work with on your project!

Can You Fix a Dented Garage Door by Yourself?

Accidentally bumped into your garage door with your car? Don’t worry – most dents can be repaired. While there are some do-it-yourself tricks available online for garage door dent repair, we don’t recommend trying to fix it on your own. The reason for this is that when you dent your garage door, you may have also caused damage to other garage door parts. It’s not uncommon for your panel to go off track. In some cases, the tracks can also get bent. Another concern is the integrity of the panel itself. You may have fixed the dent, but if the panel suffered interior damage then it could collapse later. Instead of doing it yourself, call a local professional for help.
