Is this a roll-up door, or a fire door?
A roll-up door is a curtain of steel slats, or a thin steel sheet, that coils around a drum above the opening. People also call it a rolling steel door or a coiling door. If it has a fire label and shuts on its own when a fire alarm goes off, it's a rolling fire door. That has testing rules of its own, so it has its own page.
| What it looks like | Type | Right page | What to mention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interlocking steel slats with a metal hood above the opening | Rolling steel service door | This page | Chain or motor, and the door number |
| A thinner corrugated steel sheet, often on storage units or small bays | Roll-up sheet door | This page | Unit or bay number |
| An open grille or mesh that rolls up | Rolling grille | This page (commercial) | Where it is |
| A small rolling shutter over a counter or window | Counter shutter | This page (commercial) | Where it is |
| A fire label on the door edge, guides or hood, or a door that shuts on alarm | Rolling fire door | Rolling fire door repair | Test due, failed, or won't reset |
| Fast fabric or rigid door | High-speed door | High-speed door repair | — |
| Panels on tracks that lift toward the ceiling | Sectional door | Overhead door repair | — |
Names you might see on a nameplate: Cornell, Cookson, Overhead Door, Raynor, Wayne Dalton. Mention a brand only if you already know it. These names don't mean a provider is authorized by that manufacturer.

What is the roll-up door doing?
Describe what you can see from a safe distance. The table lists what a qualified provider may check. It isn't a diagnosis.
| What you see | What a qualified provider may check | Why it matters | How to say it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stuck partway | Guides, curtain, drum spring, operator | A half-open door leaves the building open and can drop | "The roll-up is stuck halfway." |
| Won't roll up | Operator, spring tension, a lock, bent slats | Blocks the bay | "It won't go up." |
| Slats bent or out of the guides | Slats, guides, end locks | A curtain out of its guides can jam hard | "The slats came out of the track on one side." |
| Curtain uneven, one side lower | Drum, spring tension, guides | Can bind and tear | "One side is lower than the other." |
| Hood dented | Hood, the curtain behind it | Dents can rub the curtain | "A truck hit the hood." |
| Motor runs, door doesn't move | Operator drive, chain, brake | Something between the motor and the drum let go | "The motor runs but the door stays put." |
| Hand chain very stiff | Spring tension, guides, chain hoist | A stiff door is out of balance or binding | "The chain is really hard to pull." |
| Door comes down too fast or slams | Spring tension, brake, operator | A falling door is dangerous | "It slams shut." |
| Loud grinding or popping | Guides, slats, drum bearings | Worn parts get worse with use | "It's grinding and popping." |
A coiling door stores spring tension in the drum above it. Don't try to adjust it, and don't pull the curtain back into the guides. Keep people clear.

What affects the price of a roll-up door repair?
We can't quote your exact roll-up repair from a web page. The price depends on the door, the fault, parts, and access. Here's what to ask before you authorize work.
| What drives the price | Why it changes the cost | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Trip or diagnostic charge | Many companies charge to come out | "Is there a trip charge? Does it go toward the repair?" |
| Slats versus the whole curtain | A few slats cost less than a new curtain | "Can you replace just the damaged slats?" |
| Drum and spring | Spring work on a coiling door is specialized | "Does the spring need work?" |
| Guides | Bent guides may need to be replaced | "Are the guides included?" |
| Operator | Motor repair versus replacement | "Can the operator be repaired?" |
| Size and gauge | Wider, taller or heavier-gauge doors cost more | "Does the size change the parts?" |
| Insulated slats or wind locks | Special slats cost more | "Is this a standard slat?" |
| Access and height | Lifts, traffic, high openings | "Does access change the price?" |
| Fire label | Fire doors need original-maker parts and a drop test | "Is this a fire door? That's a different job." |
| After-hours visit (only if offered) | Nights and weekends may cost more | "Is there a different rate?" |
Maintenance helps. The door industry group DASMA recommends a trained technician inspect rolling doors at least once a year, or per the manufacturer, and says to check electric doors every quarter (DASMA TDS 270). See commercial garage door maintenance.
Repair the roll-up door or replace it?
Repair fits when a few slats, a guide or the operator is damaged and parts are available. Replacement comes up when the curtain is badly damaged, the drum or spring system is worn out, or the door no longer fits the opening's use. Ask the provider to explain which it is, and why.

Rules for roll-up door work in New Mexico
New Mexico law says a contractor needs a state CID license classified for the type of work, including to bid. We found no classification that names rolling doors. The closest is GS-14, "Windows, doors and skylights." If the door is fire-rated, the fire code comes into play too.
| Question | The rule (checked September 23, 2026) | Where to check |
|---|---|---|
| License to work and bid | CID license covering the type of work | NMSA 60-13-12 |
| Classification | GS-14 is closest; GB-98 includes GS work. Ask which one applies | 14.6.6 NMAC |
| Operator wiring | ES-3 for control circuits under 50 volts; EE-98 above that | 14.6.6 NMAC |
| License lookup | Check the number before work starts | RLD license verification |
| Permit | Depends on the address: City of Albuquerque (ABQ-PLAN), Bernalillo County, Rio Rancho, the state CID, or another local office | Permit offices by area |
| Fire code (fire doors) | Statewide 2021 International Fire Code; Albuquerque's city fire code also adopts the 2021 IFC | 10.25.5 NMAC; Albuquerque §14-2-1 |
| Fire door testing | DASMA says rolling steel fire doors are inspected and drop-tested at least once a year | DASMA TDS 271 |
The provider and the issuing office decide how these apply to your door.

Questions about roll-up door repair in Albuquerque
Why is my roll-up door stuck halfway?
Common causes are a curtain out of its guides, a bent slat, a spring or balance problem, or an operator fault. A qualified provider checks which. Keep people clear and don't pull on the curtain.
Can bent slats be replaced without a new door?
Often, yes, if matching slats are available. Ask the provider whether they can replace just the damaged slats.
How do I know if a rolling door is a fire door?
Look from a safe spot for a fire label on the door edge, guides or hood. Fire doors often have a device that makes them close on their own during an alarm. If you aren't sure, say so on the call.
Do you take calls about self-storage roll-up doors?
Yes, at commercial self-storage facilities. Give the unit number and what the door is doing.
