Common Issues with Industrial Garage Doors

When your industrial garage doors start malfunctioning, you can expect common issues such as misalignment, broken springs, or faulty sensors. These problems can be frustrating and can disrupt your daily operations. However, with some troubleshooting techniques and regular maintenance tips, you can minimize downtime and keep your garage doors functioning smoothly.

One common issue is misalignment, where the garage door may not close or open properly. This can be caused by bent tracks or worn-out rollers. To fix this, you can try straightening the tracks or replacing the rollers.

Another common problem is broken springs, which can make it difficult to open or close the door. In this case, it’s best to call a professional technician as handling springs can be dangerous.

Faulty sensors are also a common issue that can prevent the door from closing. Cleaning the sensors and checking for any obstructions can often solve this problem.

Regular maintenance, such as lubricating moving parts and inspecting the cables, can help prevent these common issues.

In the next section, we will discuss the steps involved in emergency repairs, ensuring that your industrial garage doors are back up and running in no time.

Steps Involved in Emergency Repairs

During the process of addressing urgent issues, there are certain steps involved in quickly resolving problems with large factory entrances. Here are the steps you can expect when it comes to emergency repairs for industrial garage doors:

  1. Assess the situation: The first step is to assess the extent of the damage or malfunction. This involves inspecting the door, identifying the problem, and determining the necessary repairs.

  2. Secure the area: Once the issue has been identified, it is important to secure the area to prevent any further damage or accidents. This may involve closing off the entrance or using temporary barriers.

  3. Gather the necessary tools and materials: To efficiently carry out the emergency repairs, the technician will gather all the required tools and materials. This ensures that they have everything they need to fix the problem swiftly.

  4. Perform the repairs: With the area secured and the necessary tools in hand, the technician will proceed to fix the issue. This may involve replacing damaged parts, adjusting the door’s mechanisms, or repairing electrical components.

By following these steps, industrial garage door repair professionals can quickly address urgent issues and get your factory entrances back in working order. It is essential to hire a professional service for these emergency repairs to ensure the safety and efficiency of the repairs.

Importance of Hiring a Professional Service

It’s crucial for you to hire a professional service to ensure the safety and efficiency of your factory entrance repairs. When it comes to emergency repairs for your industrial garage doors, the benefits of professional expertise cannot be overstated.

Professionals have the knowledge and experience to quickly identify the problem and offer the most effective solutions. They are well-versed in the intricacies of these complex systems and can ensure that the repairs are done correctly, minimizing the risk of further damage or accidents.

Attempting to handle the repairs yourself may seem like a cost-saving measure, but it can lead to potential risks and complications. Industrial garage doors are heavy and operate under high tension, making them dangerous to work on without proper training and equipment. DIY repairs may not only result in further damage to the doors but also pose a safety risk to you and your employees.

By hiring a professional service, you can have peace of mind knowing that the repairs will be completed safely and efficiently. Professionals have the necessary tools and equipment to handle any type of emergency repairs, ensuring that your factory entrance is back up and running as soon as possible.

Now, let’s move on to the next section about cost considerations for emergency repairs.

Cost Considerations for Emergency Repairs

One important factor to consider is the overall cost of hiring professional services for urgent repairs. When it comes to emergency repairs for industrial garage doors, cost analysis is crucial. Here are three key points to keep in mind:

  1. Expertise: Hiring a professional service ensures that the repairs will be done right the first time. Their expertise and experience in handling emergency situations will save you time and money in the long run.

  2. Equipment: Industrial garage doors require specialized equipment for repairs. By hiring professionals, you won’t have to worry about purchasing or renting expensive tools that you may only use once.

  3. Alternative solutions: Professional services can provide you with alternative solutions to minimize costs. They can assess the situation and determine if a temporary fix will suffice until a permanent solution can be implemented. This can help you avoid unnecessary expenses.

Considering these factors, it is clear that hiring a professional service for emergency repairs is a cost-effective choice. However, it’s always a good idea to take preventive measures to minimize the need for emergency repairs in the first place.

Transitioning into the next section, let’s explore some preventive measures to keep your industrial garage doors in optimal condition.

Preventive Measures to Minimize Emergency Repairs

To minimize the need for urgent fixes, you can take preventive measures to keep your industrial garage doors in optimal condition. By implementing these measures, you can save time, money, and avoid the stress of dealing with emergency repairs.

Regularly inspect your garage doors to identify any potential issues before they turn into major problems. Look for signs of wear and tear, such as loose or damaged parts, and address them promptly. Additionally, ensure that your doors are properly lubricated to reduce friction and prevent unnecessary strain on the system.

Investing in routine maintenance can also help prevent emergency repairs. Schedule regular check-ups with a professional technician who can identify and address any issues before they escalate. This proactive approach can help you catch problems early and avoid costly emergency repairs down the line.

Lastly, familiarize yourself with emergency response protocols for your industrial garage doors. Have a plan in place for who to contact and how to handle urgent situations. This will ensure that you can quickly and efficiently address any emergencies that may arise.

By taking these preventive measures, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of emergency maintenance and keep your industrial garage doors functioning smoothly. Don’t wait for a problem to occur, be proactive and protect your investment.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it’s crucial to hire a professional service for emergency repairs on industrial garage doors. They have the expertise to quickly diagnose and fix common issues, saving you time and money.

Remember, a small problem with your garage door can quickly escalate into a larger and more costly one. Just like a tiny crack in a dam can lead to a catastrophic flood, neglecting the early signs of trouble can result in a major disruption to your business operations.

So, don’t wait until it’s too late – invest in preventive measures and rely on the professionals to keep your garage doors functioning smoothly.

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

We are very happy with the service we received from Alpha Gate & Door. We had a 20-year old gate that stopped working. Upon our first call, they were quick to respond, provide an estimate & schedule the work. The tech was very thorough and at the end explained all of the updates. I know that if I ever need anything else, I will call them.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Co.for your gate repair or installation needs. We were in need of a replacement system for or driveway gate. Lisa immediately understood my situation and had a perfect recommendation for a replacement. She emailed me a detailed proposal and followed up with a visit to our site. In a timely manner the technician, Kealin and his assistant George, professionally installed a complete Patriot 1 system that looks great and works perfectly. I am very pleased with all aspects of their service.

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
