Is this maintenance or a repair?
Maintenance is a planned check on doors that still work. It looks for wear before something breaks. If a door is stuck, crooked, or has a broken spring right now, that's a repair. Call about it as a repair, and say so first.
| Your situation | What it is | Where it's covered |
|---|---|---|
| Doors work, but you want them checked | Planned maintenance | This page |
| Several doors at one site on a schedule | Planned maintenance | This page |
| A door that keeps having the same problem | Repair, then planned checks | Commercial garage & overhead door repair |
| A door stuck open, or a broken spring | Repair, right now | Commercial garage & overhead door repair |
| Dock levelers | Planned leveler checks | Dock leveler repair |
| Seals, bumpers and restraints | Planned dock checks | Dock equipment repair |
| Rolling fire doors | Yearly drop test | Rolling fire door repair & testing |
Maintenance never makes a broken door safe to use. A damaged door comes out of use until it's repaired.
What does a maintenance visit usually cover?
The provider sets what its visit covers. Most commercial door checks look at the parts below. These are checks for a trained provider, not jobs for building staff.
| Part | What a provider may check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Springs and cables | Wear, rust, balance | These carry the door's weight and fail suddenly when worn out |
| Rollers, hinges and tracks | Wear, alignment, loose bolts | Worn parts lead to jams and doors coming off track |
| Panels or curtain | Dents, cracks, bent slats | Damage spreads and weakens the door |
| Opener and controls | Operation, limits, wiring | The opener should stop and reverse the way it's built to |
| Safety devices | Photo eyes and safety edges | UL 325 is the safety standard for door operators; these devices protect people |
| Weather seals | Bottom seal and side seals | Keeps out heat, dust, water and pests |
| Balance and travel | Smooth, even movement | An out-of-balance door strains the opener and springs |
Put the findings in writing
Ask for a written list of what was checked, what was found at each door, and what repairs are recommended. Repairs are usually quoted separately. You decide whether to approve them.
How often should commercial doors be maintained?
It depends on how hard the doors work. A dock door that opens many times a day wears faster than a door that opens once a week. The provider and the door's maker set the schedule. Ask the provider to base it on how often each door runs, not on a one-size-fits-all number.
What staff can notice between visits
Staff can watch and listen during normal use, from where they already stand. Things worth reporting:
- New noises, like grinding, banging or squealing
- Jerky or uneven travel
- A door that reverses or stops for no reason
- Gaps or daylight around a closed door
- Frayed cables or damage you can see
Don't touch springs, cables or the opener. Report what you notice, and call about it as a repair if a door isn't working right.
What happens when you call?
You call (385) 325-7138 and describe your doors and your site. Calls may be shared with an independent commercial dock-and-door repair company. That provider confirms availability, scope, pricing, and service terms.
- Call and describe it. Give the address, roughly how many doors, what kinds, and how busy they are.
- The call may be shared with an independent commercial dock-and-door repair company.
- If a provider takes the job, it proposes a visit or a plan, prices it and schedules it under its own terms.
Example of what to say (not a real call): "We have twelve dock doors at our warehouse in McAllen and want to set up a maintenance visit, and I can give you the address."
If you reach voicemail, leave the facility address, the door or dock number if known, what's wrong, and a callback number.
Useful but not required: a list of your doors, which ones get the most use, and any past repair records.
What affects the price?
We can't quote your maintenance visit from a web page. The price depends on the number and type of doors, their condition, and access. Here's what to ask before you authorize work.
| What changes the price | Why | Ask |
|---|---|---|
| Number of doors | More doors take more time | "What's the price per door, or for the site?" |
| Door types | High-speed and fire doors need different checks | "Does the price cover every door type we have?" |
| How often | A plan with several visits may be priced differently | "What's the price for one visit versus a yearly plan?" |
| Access | Busy docks and tall doors slow the work | "Do you need doors closed off during the visit?" |
| Parts found worn | Repairs are extra | "Are repairs quoted separately?" |
| Written report | Some providers include it; some charge | "Is the written report included?" |
| After-hours visits | May cost more, if offered | "Can you work when our docks are quiet?" |
Ask whether any agreement is required, and what happens if you cancel it.

Maintenance questions
Is maintenance the same as repair?
No. Maintenance checks doors that still work. Repair fixes one that's broken. A provider may do both. Ask whether repairs are priced separately.
Is a service agreement required?
That's up to the provider. Ask what's required and what a single visit costs.
Will maintenance catch a spring before it breaks?
It can spot wear and rust. It can't promise a spring won't fail.
Can dock levelers be on the same visit?
Ask when you call. The provider confirms what it covers. Leveler checks are on the dock leveler page.
Does maintenance cover fire-door drop tests?
That's a separate yearly test. See rolling fire door repair & testing.
