Frequently Asked Questions

All About Commercial Door Maintenance - FAQs

Get instant answers to the most common questions about our commercial door maintenance services. Can't find what you're looking for? We're here to help.

Commercial doors need attention on five intervals: daily visual and sound checks by your team, weekly lubrication, monthly balance and sensor tests, quarterly hardware and tension checks, and an annual professional service. High-traffic doors — loading docks, automatic entries, high-speed doors — benefit from quarterly professional visits as part of a planned maintenance program.

Your team can safely handle daily visual checks, listening for noise, cleaning sensors and photo-eyes, and basic lubrication. Never have untrained staff handle spring replacement, cable repair, electrical work, hydraulic systems, motor service, fire-door or AAADM certifications, or anything under tension — those tasks are dangerous and should always be performed by a qualified technician.

The printable poster covers overhead/sectional doors, roll-up and rolling steel doors, high-speed doors, automatic pedestrian doors, and dock equipment (levelers, seals, bumpers, and restraints) — each with its own daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual task list.

Yes. Enter your email and the printable PDF poster downloads immediately — no cost and no obligation. Print it, post it near each door, and use it as your team's standing PM routine. When you hit an annual task or spot something you can't fix safely, call us at (844) 944-0362.
