What does planned door maintenance cover?
A planned visit inspects, adjusts and tests the parts that wear out in daily use — springs and cables, rollers and tracks, openers, and the safety devices. It ends with a written list of what needs attention. It isn't a repair call, and the springs and counterbalance stay technician work.
| Part | What a provider typically checks | Why it matters | Published guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo eyes and safety edges | That they line up, work, and stop and reverse the door | They keep the door from closing on people or vehicles | DASMA calls for "monthly testing of the photoelectric sensors for commercial door openers" (TDS 382) |
| Springs and cables | Wear, balance, fraying | They carry the door's weight | For rolling doors, DASMA says a trained technician should inspect "at least annually or per the door manufacturer's recommendations" (TDS 270) |
| Tracks, rollers, hinges and guides | Line-up, wear, loose bolts | Worn parts lead to doors off their tracks | Follow the door maker's guidance |
| Openers and controls | Limits, reversing, visible wiring condition | A worn opener stops the door | Follow the opener maker's guidance |
| Bottom seals and weather strips | Tears and gaps | Weather, bugs and cooled air | As needed |
| High-speed door sensors and curtains | Activation, reversing, curtain condition | Busy doorways need working safety sensors | Follow the door maker's guidance |
| Rolling fire doors | The yearly drop test | Fire safety | DASMA: inspected and drop-tested "not less than annually" — see the rolling fire door page |
Door makers don't all agree on lubrication and other details. A good provider follows the maker's instructions for each door.
How often should commercial doors be serviced?
There isn't one number for every door. DASMA calls for monthly photo-eye testing on commercial door openers and recommends a trained technician inspect rolling doors at least once a year or as the maker says. A dock door that runs all day needs more attention than a shop door opened twice a week.
Ask the provider to base the schedule on three things: how many times each door runs a day, what kind of door it is, and what the maker recommends.
Monthly checks between visits
DASMA calls for monthly photo-eye testing on commercial door openers. Ask the provider who should do that check at your building and how, so your staff know what to look for. Anything beyond that — springs, cables, chains, wiring — stays with the technician.
What should a maintenance visit report show?
Every visit should leave you with a written record. It's how you spot a door that keeps coming back, and how you plan repairs before they become emergencies.
- Each door's number and location.
- What was inspected, adjusted, lubricated or replaced.
- Which safety devices were tested, and the results.
- Repairs recommended, and how soon each one matters.
- Parts that take a long time to get.
- The date of the next visit.

Before storm season
Florida approves exterior door products for specific designs. Florida law says an approval stays valid unless, among other things, "the product changes in a manner affecting its performance as required by the code" (s. 553.842). Before storm season, ask your provider to flag any door that's damaged, modified or missing parts that affect its rating.

What changes the price of a maintenance program?
We can't price a maintenance program from a web page. It depends on how many doors, what types, how often they run, and access. Here's what to ask before you sign.
| What drives the cost | Why it moves the price | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Number of doors | More doors take more time | "Is the price per door or per visit?" |
| Door types | High-speed and fire doors take different work | "Which doors are included?" |
| Visit frequency | More visits cost more per year | "How often, and why?" |
| Fire door drop tests | They may be part of the plan or separate | "Are the yearly drop tests included?" |
| Work windows | Nights or weekends may cost more, if offered | "Is off-hours work priced differently?" |
| Repairs found on a visit | Repairs are usually quoted separately | "How are repairs quoted and approved?" |
| The written report | You need a record for each door | "What does the report include?" |
Ask whether any repair found during a visit needs your approval before work starts. It should.

Questions about commercial door maintenance in Orlando
How often should commercial garage doors be serviced?
It depends on how often the doors run, what kind they are, and what the maker says. DASMA calls for monthly photo-eye testing on commercial door openers and recommends that a trained technician inspect rolling doors at least once a year. Busy dock doors usually need more frequent visits.
What's included in a commercial door maintenance visit?
Usually a check of springs, cables, rollers, tracks, the opener and the safety devices, plus adjustments and a written report. Ask the provider for a written list of what each visit includes.
Can maintenance be scheduled around our shifts?
Ask when you call. The company that takes the job confirms its scheduling and whether off-hours visits cost more.
Does door maintenance include our dock levelers?
Not on this page. Levelers, restraints, seals and bumpers have their own maintenance sections. You can ask about all of them on the same call.
Do we still need fire door drop tests if we have a maintenance plan?
Yes. The yearly drop test is its own task. Some plans include it and some don't, so ask.
