Managing a commercial property often means keeping many moving parts in order, often all at once. From tenant management to repair coordination, your to-do list never really ends. One way you can help reduce the number of proverbial balls in the air is by scheduling regular inspections and planned maintenance services for commercial doors from a licensed and experienced professional like Creative Door Services. 

Planned maintenance and commercial door inspections help reduce liability, lower long-term costs, and ensure your building is as safe, secure, and efficient as it can be.

Reduce Risk of Safety Hazards and Limit Liability

Workplace safety is a high priority for any business. Ensuring that your commercial doors function properly is a small action that you can take to create a safer environment for employees and customers. A misaligned track or faulty sensor may seem like a small issue but leaving them unattended can lead to damages to your equipment, costly downtime, and potential other challenges. 

Regular inspections by Creative Door Services ensure all components of your doors work as intended and are compliant with safety regulations in your region. We’ll help you take a proactive approach by addressing wear and tear before it becomes a problem, ensuring your sectional doors remain code-compliant, and supporting a safer, more productive environment through preventative maintenance.

Enhance Your Facility’s Overall Security

Security is one of the biggest concerns that any property manager has, especially on commercial properties, so ensuring your main entry points are functioning as intended is a must. Small issues may seem unimportant at first, but a worn-down door or slight misalignment could create vulnerabilities that could be exploited to compromise the safety of your building.

Commercial door inspections and planned maintenance from the professionals at Creative Door Services can greatly improve your facility’s security. Our certified technicians are trained to spot weaknesses in the hardware, the framing, and the functionality of the door, and to rectify them. With regular inspections and tune-ups, our team keeps your doors tight, aligned, and secure so you have one less thing to worry about. 

Conserve Energy

Energy conservation is a growing popular topic, and we can help you reduce energy costs by choosing a sectional door with good insulation and speed. Not only are clients more conscious of how green a business is and often choose to support businesses that make an effort to conserve energy, but with the rising costs of energy all over Canada, the energy efficiency of your access points can make a big difference to your bottom line as well.

Although there are many things you can do to help your business’s energy conservation efforts, one thing that is often overlooked is planned maintenance. You may not notice at first, but old weatherstripping that no longer serves its purpose or gaps in your doors can put a strain on your HVAC system increase your energy bills. Calling Creative Door Services to conduct regular, scheduled maintenance on your commercial doors goes a long way to improving your energy efficiency, save on energy costs, and support your sustainability goals. 

Identify Areas That Require Attention

Do you know if your commercial doors are wearing out? They may be on the edge of breaking down and you might not even know, but with professional maintenance from Creative Door Services, you can catch problem areas before the worst happens. 

When called to task, our professional technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your commercial doors. Thanks to over 55 years of experience in the industry, we can find problem areas that might go overlooked and rectify them quickly. Fixing these early prevents costly unexpected breakdowns, avoids emergency service calls, and allows your facility to run as it should day in, day out.

Reduce Operation and Maintenance Costs

A significant advantage of investing in planned preventive maintenance is the cost savings.

Planned inspections and maintenance tend to be more cost-effective than emergency repairs. The professionals at Creative Door Services can easily find minor issues, such as misaligned tracks or worn-out rollers, that are easy to fix but could also easily turn into major problems if ignored.

Preventive maintenance can help you get better control over your operational costs and allow you to have a better idea of your long-term budget. An unpredictable maintenance budget is a property manager’s nightmare, but regular inspections and planned maintenance from our experts can turn that nightmare into a dream. 

What Does an Inspection Include?

When one of our technicians visits your facility for a planned maintenance visit, they’ll conduct a thorough inspection of your commercial doors. This inspection will include three key steps: 

• A Visual Inspection
  The first step is to conduct a visual inspection of your commercial door, which includes checking the hardware for visible wear and tear. We will also check the track assembly to make sure everything is attached properly. 
   
• Testing the Operation
  After the visual inspection is done, it’s time to test the door’s operation. These tests may uncover further problems that weren’t noticeable during the initial visual check, such as issues with the opener or motor. 
   
• Testing Safety Devices
  Testing safety devices is a crucial part of preventive maintenance appointments. The safety devices include the photo-eye sensor or a stopping/reversing bottom edge that prevents the door from closing if there are obstructions. If these do not work as intended, they require immediate servicing to avoid injuries, damages, and other liability.
