Roll-up, sectional, high-speed, or fire door?

A roll-up door — also called a rolling steel door or a coiling door — is a curtain of steel slats that rolls up around a barrel in a box above the opening. A sectional door is different: its panels ride up on tracks and lie along the ceiling. High-speed doors and rolling fire doors look similar but work differently, so they have their own pages.

Panels on tracks: commercial garage & overhead door repair.
A fast fabric or rigid door: high-speed door repair.
A rolling door built to close by itself in a fire: rolling fire door testing & repair.
A door that needs replacing: commercial garage door installation & replacement.
Everything at the dock, sorted by problem: the Orlando dock and door repair page.

Which roll-up door is it?

Type	Where you usually see it	What to mention on the call	Watch for
Rolling steel service door	Warehouses, docks, plants, fleet shops	Door number, chain or motor	—
Insulated rolling door	Air-conditioned or cold rooms	That it's insulated	Not a high-speed cooler door
Self-storage roll-up (sheet) door	Commercial storage units	Unit numbers and how many doors	Lighter than a warehouse door
Wind-rated rolling door	Exterior openings across Florida	A label if you can see it from the floor	A replacement needs an approved product
Rolling fire door	Openings in fire-rated walls	That it's a fire door	Goes to the fire door page

Grilles and counter shutters

Rolling grilles and counter shutters are rolling doors too. If yours is on a commercial building, say so on the call, and the company that takes the call confirms whether it handles that work. A fire-rated counter shutter goes to the fire door page.

Cornell's site lists rolling service doors (Cornell), and Overhead Door and Wayne Dalton also make commercial doors. A brand name helps describe the door, but it doesn't say who installed it. You can call without it.

What's the door doing?

Report what you can see from the floor. The technician does the diagnosis.

What you're seeing	What a qualified provider may inspect	Why it matters	How to report it
The curtain is out of its side guides, or slats are pulled out	Curtain, slats, guides, end locks	A jammed curtain can bind or drop	"Door 5 is out of its guides."
The bottom bar is bent after a hit	Bottom bar, bottom slats, guides	A bent bar can jam the door or leave a gap	"A forklift hit the bottom."
It's stuck partway	Guides, curtain, barrel, springs	A door stuck partway can shift	How far open, and that people are kept clear
It drifts down or won't stay open	Spring tension, barrel, brake or hoist	It can come down on its own	"It won't stay up."
The chain or crank is suddenly very hard to pull	Spring tension, barrel, chain hoist	A spring problem can make it hard or unsafe to move	"The chain is much harder to pull than normal."
Loud grinding or popping near the top	Barrel, bearings, springs	Wear can lead to a stuck door	Where the noise comes from and when
The motor runs, but the door doesn't move	Operator drive, the disconnect, springs	It may not be the motor	"The motor runs. The door doesn't."
Light, rain or pests get in at the bottom or sides	Bottom seal, guides, weather strips	Weather and security	"There's a gap at the bottom."

Plain words work. "It wobbles in the tracks" or "it stops a foot from the floor" tells the provider plenty.

Seeing one of these? Call and describe it in your own words.

Counterbalance springs: why this is technician work

The barrel above a roll-up door holds springs that balance the curtain's weight. DASMA's maintenance guide for building supervisors says "The counterbalance assembly and its related parts are under EXTREME spring tension at all times." It tells staff: "Do NOT try to adjust the tension wheel (charge wheel). Call for service if spring needs adjusting." (DASMA TDS 270)

Keep people clear. Don't release, wind or adjust anything. Call.

Motor and controls

Many roll-up doors run on an electric operator. Its photo eyes and safety edges keep the door from closing on people or vehicles. DASMA calls for "monthly testing of the photoelectric sensors for commercial door openers" (DASMA TDS 382). Door operators are covered by the UL 325 safety standard.

Florida law says a contractor "shall subcontract all electrical" work unless it holds the state electrical license. If the fix means new wiring, ask who does it and whether it needs an electrical permit.

Stuck open, stuck closed, or hit by a forklift?

Call (385) 325-7138 and say first if the door is stuck open or won't open at all. Keep people clear and don't force the curtain. Don't push or lift it with a forklift — OSHA's forklift rule says "Trucks shall not be used for opening or closing freight doors" (29 CFR 1910.178). If the building can't be closed, use your facility's security plan.

Example wording, not a real job: "The roll-up door on unit row B at our self-storage facility in Orlando came out of its guides."

If it's stuck open, say so first.

Your call may be shared with an independent commercial dock-and-door repair company.
That company confirms the address, the work, whether and when it can come, the price, and its own terms before any work starts.

For self-storage, how many doors need work.

You can call without any of this.

What changes the price — a few slats, a new curtain, or a new door?

We can't quote a roll-up repair from a web page. The price depends on the door, the damage, parts, and access. Here's what to ask before you authorize work.

What drives the cost	Why it moves the price	What to ask
Service call or diagnostic charge	Many companies charge to come out	"Does it count toward the repair?"
A few damaged slats or the whole curtain	Replacing a few slats costs less than a new curtain	"Can you replace just the damaged slats?"
Bottom bar	A bent bar may be straightened or replaced	"Repair or replace the bottom bar?"
Guides	Bent guides can keep the curtain from running	"Do the guides need replacing?"
Springs	Re-tensioning costs less than new springs	"Tension or replace, and why?"
Operator	A new operator can mean wiring and a permit	"Can the operator be fixed?"
Door size, thickness, insulation	Bigger and heavier doors use heavier parts	"Is this priced for this door's size?"
Wind rating	A wind-rated replacement costs more and needs an approved product	"Does the replacement meet this opening's wind rating?"
Parts and lead time	Some brands and older doors need special-order parts	"How long for parts?"
Access and number of doors	Height, lifts, and how many doors are done at once	"Is the price different for several doors?"

When a new door makes sense

When the curtain is badly damaged, the barrel or springs are worn out, or parts aren't available, a new door may make more sense. That's a permitted job in Central Florida. See commercial garage door installation & replacement, or the national guide comparing rolling steel and sectional doors.

Questions about roll-up door repair in Orlando

Can one damaged slat be replaced, or does the whole curtain have to go?

Often a few damaged slats can be replaced. If a lot of the curtain is bent, or the slats aren't made anymore, a new curtain may be the better fix. Ask the company for both prices.

Why is the chain on our roll-up door suddenly so hard to pull?

It usually points to a problem with the springs in the barrel or the chain hoist. Don't force it and don't adjust anything. The springs are under high tension, so call and describe it.

Are self-storage roll-up doors handled on this line?

Yes. Roll-up doors at commercial self-storage facilities are in scope. Say how many doors need work.

Does a replacement roll-up door need Florida Product Approval?

Florida requires exterior door products to be approved before use. Orange County's product approval sheet lists sectional and roll-up exterior doors. The repair company and the permit office confirm what your opening needs.

What about roll-up doors on box trucks?

Not here. Doors on trucks and trailers go to a truck body shop. This line is for doors on buildings.
