Commercial and shop doors
Different animal from the residential door: commercial sectional and rolling steel doors cycle harder, run bigger springs and operators, and a door down means a dock that can't load or a shop that can't lock up. The metro's calls come from the warehouse corridors and the small-shop bay buildings scattered through the industrial pockets.
What shows up
- Sectional doors on shop bays and small warehouses
- Rolling steel doors where headroom or security is the driver
- High-cycle operators on doors that run dozens of times a day
- Dock levelers and seals on the loading side
What the crew asks
Be ready to tell the crew what kind of door it is, how big the opening is, and how hard it runs in a day. A shop that needs the door for morning deliveries should say so up front.
What moves the price
Door size and cycle rating first, then operator, and whether the failure is mechanical (springs, guides, curtain) or electrical. Commercial work quotes on the door and the duty it has to handle, so give the crew the real number.
