Just like any overhead door, storefront security grilles need regular inspections and maintenance, too. What’s happened to this shop’s security grille? It doesn’t understand its limits anymore. That may sound silly, but automatic overhead door openers have limits for opening and closing; where the motor needs to stop when it’s fully open or fully closed.

This security grille started to overrun its limits. The opener system on any overhead door is comprised of several moving parts that have to work together to keep the door balanced and on track. If this problem had continued to be ignored, way worse problems could have occurred. Eventually, the door would have been compromised and the shop owner would have had a huge bill on their hands.

Even though security grilles don’t look like an entire door, they still need all the maintenance any overhead garage door should be getting. Had this problem been left too long, the soffit the grille is anchored to would have had to be opened up, along with the ceiling around it. There would be issues with rerouting any electrical or plumbing in the way, and since it’s in a mall, it would all have to be after hours, which means after-hours labor costs. No thank you, please.Instead, our guys got this overhead door and its opener back on track with a simple fix. Take a look!
