Dock & Door Repair Services in Chicago
Every dock and commercial door service we take Chicago-area calls about is listed below. Find the one that matches your equipment, or call (385) 325-7138 and describe what you can see — you don't need to pick correctly first.
Call to describe the problem—if the door is stuck open or the dock is down, say so first.

Not sure which one?
You do not need to identify the equipment before calling. Describe what you already know — "the big door at bay 4 is stuck halfway" is plenty.
If you'd rather narrow it down first, the equipment identification table on the Chicago loading dock page sorts the whole dock by what it looks like, including the difference between a portable dock plate and an installed leveler.
Commercial and industrial only
We take calls about loading-dock equipment and building-mounted commercial garage, overhead, sectional, rolling-steel, roll-up and high-speed doors at warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, cold storage, food and beverage facilities, auto-service bays, fleet garages, workshops, commercial self-storage and other commercial buildings. A small facility is fine — the equipment decides, not the square footage.
We don't take calls about these, and here's who does:
- Residential garage doors → a residential garage door company.
- Boat docks and boat lifts → a marine contractor.
- Truck and trailer cargo doors → a trailer service shop.
- Storefront, automatic-entry, glass and hollow-metal walk-through doors, plus locks and closers → a commercial door and hardware company or a locksmith.
- Parts-only orders → a distributor.
- Structural concrete, pit and slab work → a concrete contractor.
- Dock lifts, scissor lifts and yard ramps → a material-handling equipment specialist.
