Commercial garage doors and garage door openers are used on a variety of commercial garages servicing office buildings and multifamily apartment and condominium buildings. The components of the doors and openers are of a much higher grade than the doors and openers used on a typical single-family home. The reason for this is that commercial garage doors undergo many more opening and closing cycles in a single day than a single-family home undergoes in 6 or more months! Imagine a typical 500-unit apartment complex with two garage doors, one for entry into the garage and one to exit the garage. On a typical day each door could open 500 times a day or 3,500 times a week or 14,000 times per moth or 168,000 times a year!
The only way that these doors can withstand this use is to choose the proper garage door initially and then perform regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance on all components, as recommended by the manufacturer. Popular manufacturers of commercial garage doors include Finishline Overhead Doors. Bestline Overhead Doors, Wayne-Dalton, Windsor, D.B.C.I., Roll Up Doors, Coplay Commercial Doors and C.H.I Overhead Commercial Doors.
In most cases, commercial doors have a recommended inspection and maintenance schedule, which is typically driven by the number of cycles of the door. It is critical that this schedule be adhered to in order to maximize the life of the door and the door opener. In addition worn parts must be replaced immediately. In most cases, commercial garage doors and commercial garage doors that experience a high failure rate or ongoing problems have not been inspected and maintained properly.
