The most common door installed by commercial overhead door companies is 36 inches wide by 84 inches tall (or 3 feet by 7 feet). Commercial entryways range from 32 to 48 inches wide.

Springs used by commercial metal doors have a specific lifespan measured in cycles. Standard springs last about 10,000 to 20,000 cycles. If a business opens and closes a door 10 times a day, the springs may last three to five years.

High-traffic commercial doors, rolling steel gates, and loading dock seals should be serviced by industrial overhead door companies every four to six months. Regular lubrication and track alignment prevent emergency lockouts and expensive after-hours repair bills.

The most frequent commercial garage door repairs calls we at South Coast Industrial Door, Inc receive include broken springs, snapped cables, misaligned (bent) tracks, and malfunctioning electronic motor operators. Storefront gates and roll-up doors often require repairs from accidental forklift impacts.
