Regular maintenance on your commercial garage door helps increase the system’s lifespan, ensuring it runs its very best for years to come. It also allows you to remain one step ahead of any major repairs. However, it can be a hassle to complete this routine maintenance on your own. A preventative maintenance program can be the perfect solution. Enrolling into a program like this allows a qualified technician to come to your business at regular intervals (and at your convenience) to perform several different preventative care measures. This ensures your commercial garage doors remain in tip-top shape for as long as possible.
The average commercial door preventative maintenance program includes inspections to check for wear and tear, routine maintenance checks, and even program incentives like discounts and priority status.
Chart and Survey
Most programs start with a technician charting and surveying all of your business’s doors on a drawing of the building floor plan. This ensures that they know exactly the brand and model of each of your doors, allowing them to have the correct sizes and parts with them in case anything minor needs repaired during their scheduled appointments.
Visual Inspection
When everything is documented properly, technicians can begin their visual inspection of your garage door and all of its parts. They will most likely check for rust and damage to the system as well as areas that are suffering from normal wear and tear. Most of the time, they can perform minor repairs as needed. This saves everyone time and allows you to be one step ahead, repairing minor damage before it becomes a major issue.
Routine Maintenance
Preventative maintenance programs also include routine maintenance. At each prescheduled appointment, technicians will adjust your garage door’s springs, tracks, and brakes as well as tighten hardware, hinges, and couplings if necessary. Regularly ensuring that each piece of your garage door system is properly adjusted helps your garage door to continue functioning smoother for longer, saving you money, time, and hassle.
Enrolling and Discounts
Not all garage repair companies offer a commercial preventative maintenance program, so it is important that you do your research and call local companies before scheduling any kind of maintenance if you are interested in this type of program. Also be sure to inquire about extra perks: some companies have service discounts and priority status, which puts you first on the list in case of an emergency.
The structural integrity of your garage is extremely important to your business’s success. An easy way to protect yourself and your company is by catching any issues, regardless of severity, before they can lead to more damage. Leave the maintenance to our qualified technicians in order to do what you do best – running your company.
