Maintaining your commercial garage doors is essential to ensuring long-lasting performance, safety, and reliability. At Open Sesame Commercial Garage Door Repair, we provide comprehensive Planned Maintenance services tailored to the needs of your business. Regular maintenance not only helps prevent costly breakdowns but also keeps your doors operating smoothly and efficiently, minimizing the risk of unexpected failures that could disrupt your operations.

Why Planned Maintenance is Important

Garage doors are often one of the most heavily used pieces of equipment in a commercial building. Over time, this wear and tear can lead to various issues, from misaligned tracks to broken springs or cables. With a planned maintenance schedule, we help catch these issues early, providing timely repairs before they become major problems.

1. Preventative Measures for Longevity

With regular maintenance, small problems can be identified and resolved before they escalate into major repairs. This extends the lifespan of your commercial doors, saving you money in the long run.

2. Compliance with Safety Regulations

For many commercial buildings, proper maintenance of overhead and fire-rated doors is a legal requirement. Our planned maintenance programs help you stay compliant with local and national safety standards, reducing the risk of fines and ensuring the safety of your property and personnel.

3. Minimizing Downtime

Unexpected garage door failures can cause significant disruptions to your business operations. With our planned maintenance services, we ensure that your doors remain fully functional, reducing the risk of downtime and keeping your business running smoothly.

4. Enhanced Security

A malfunctioning commercial door can pose a serious security risk to your property. Our planned maintenance services include inspections of door locks, sensors, and other security features to ensure your doors remain secure.

5. Energy Efficiency

For insulated doors like Thermacore® or Aluminum Glass Doors, regular maintenance helps maintain their energy efficiency. We inspect seals, insulation, and door alignment to ensure maximum energy savings for your business.

Planned Maintenance Program Features

Our Planned Maintenance Program is designed to keep your commercial doors in top condition. Here’s what you can expect from our services:

1. Routine Inspections

We conduct thorough inspections of your garage doors to identify any wear and tear, checking components such as springs, cables, hinges, tracks, and the door itself. Our detailed inspection process helps spot potential issues before they cause operational problems.

2. Lubrication of Moving Parts

All moving parts, including tracks, rollers, and hinges, are lubricated to reduce friction and extend their lifespan. This also helps prevent noisy or jerky door operation, ensuring smooth and quiet functionality.

3. Adjustment of Door Components

Over time, components such as the torsion spring, cables, and tracks may lose tension or become misaligned. We make necessary adjustments to ensure proper operation and prevent strain on other door parts.

4. Testing of Safety Features

For automated doors with sensors, we test the safety mechanisms to ensure they are functioning properly, including the door’s reverse mechanism and photo-eye sensors. This ensures that the door will respond appropriately in an emergency or if an obstruction is detected.

5. Detailed Reporting

After each maintenance visit, we provide a detailed report outlining the work performed, any issues identified, and recommendations for repairs or additional services. This gives you full transparency and peace of mind knowing your doors are in good condition.
