Cowan Doors is Melbourne’s trusted industrial door servicing company, available 24/7 for emergency breakdowns throughout Victoria.
Although high quality commercial doors can withstand years of use, they will likely need repairs and maintenance at some point. Let’s have a look at some of the most common commercial door repairs.
Replacement of Hardware
From tilt panel doors to industrial sliding gates, no matter how well you look after the doors in your showroom, shop, office or warehouse, there will be a time when one or more parts need to be replaced. Whether a handle breaks, a spring malfunctions, a motor breaks down or simple wear and tear has taken its toll, it is very likely that you will have to repair or replace a part of your door during its lifetime. In most cases, a quick and small replacement of a part is all that is usually needed to get your door in perfect working condition once again.
Alignment of Door and Frame
When a door and its frame become out of alignment it can be very problematic, not only can it make opening and closing difficult, it can put unnecessary strain and wear and tear on all of the components and mechanisms. Misalignment can happen due to the weather, structural movement within the building, impact from an accident or general misuse. If you are having difficulty operating your industrial doors, you may need to schedule a maintenance appointment and have the alignment fixed.
Panel Repairs
Whether you have roller doors and shutters or tilt panel doors, a damaged panel or section will impair the normal functioning of your commercial door. One of the most common causes of panel damage is impact by something hitting the door, such as a car, truck or forklift. Most industrial roller shutters and doors are constructed from multiple slats or panels, which makes it possible to replace or remove individual sections without the need to replace the whole door.
Seal Replacement
Doors with poor seals can cause a variety of issues to your business, from exorbitant energy bills, to drafts and whistling noises during windy conditions. If you are having trouble keeping the temperature of your business stable or your power bills are increasing in price, you should have the seals on your commercial sliding doors replaced. A quick, easy and affordable repair, getting this issue resolved quickly will not ensure that your doors work properly, but will also ensure high energy efficiency and a comfortable working environment.
