Usually, doors are meant to be standing for long periods of time and being tough enough to withstand heavy damage. This is not what happens in reality, in reality, heavy winds, metal fatigue, and excessive use are often causes of wear and tear in commercial doors.
Usually, a quick repair would do the job but some projects require a complete door removal and new hinge installation, in some cases even a continuous hinge is required. This type of work requires 2 technicians at least and it's best to have the right professionals for the door repair.
Often the aluminum frame cannot withstand certain overloads and becomes fatigued then due to the temperature the metal is changing form over time and weakens.
To repair a commercial door often frame reinforcement is required in order to maintain shape even due to strong winds. To prevent that a wind chain is a great solution as well as having a heavy duty door closer is something that you want to consider for your property doors as well.
All this sounds great until you actually need a commercial door repair and need reliable service personnel to do the repair as professionally and reliably as possible.
After the job is done the door needs to be sitting in the exact 90° angle to swing in and out freely and have all the proper stripping so it won't hang loose.
We also recommend keeping good contact with the installers in case any issues arise after the initial frame replacement or installation.
Commercial door repairs happen within 5-10 years of the original installation date and often happen too late when the damage is too big to be repaired and then replacement is necessary.
It's best to shop around and find your closest door repair specialist and remember chose local, because, local matters to everyone!
Busiest times of the year in Waterloo region would be the winter, that's when all the previously damaged frames and door cracks begin to collapse and show signs of wear and tear. So best do your repair in the Summer season to avoid winter incidents where you're stuck with a broken door in Guelph or Waterloo and need to close or open business.
