If you own or run a business, for both your staff and clients, it’s important to prioritize safe parking. That’s why maintaining your commercial parking lots and garages can be a worthy investment. Many business owners would agree as according to Fortune Business Insights, the international garage and overhead door industry is estimated to grow from $6.99 billion in 2022 to $9.94 billion by 2029. How do you know that your business’s garage needs maintenance? Here are several signs you need commercial garage door repair.

1. Movement Failure

Your garage door should be able to open and close with ease. Therefore, if it’s struggling to open or close, that calls for emergency repairs. After all, you don’t want staff getting locked inside or not being able to enter, as it can affect the work day. 

Delays are also indicative of movement failures within the garage door. Does it take longer than normal for the opening or closing mechanism to respond? If you don’t call a professional to handle garage door repair soon, that delay may eventually result in it no longer functioning. In our experience, when there’s a delay with opening or closing the door, it may be because of issues in the springs.

2. Visible Damage

Do you notice visible damage on these doors? Watch out for frayed cables, dents, broken springs, or cracks. A car or other object may have hit the door at some point. Even minor damage should be looked at, especially when it indicates structural issues that could be underneath the surface. A professional can inspect the door to make sure it’s working correctly.

3. Loud Noises and Shaking

A commercial garage door makes noise when opening and closing, but that noise shouldn’t be extreme. Pay attention to strange noises, including banging or scraping. When you hear grinding and other weird noises, it’s usually because there are worn-out parts in the mechanism. There could also be misalignment that will continue to worsen. If the doors become misaligned with the tracks, they won’t close properly.

Timely garage door repair is essential for keeping your commercial parking safe. Paying attention to the signs of disrepair can prevent you from spending excessive money on emergency repairs. It’ll also safeguard your employees and their cars from harm. When you’re ready for a professional to check out your garage door, contact Kelleher Doors Inc today for assistance.
