Overhead Door Repair Sacramento

Overhead door means different things depending on who is calling us. Most of the time it is the sectional door on a house or a shop bay, and people will call that one a roll-up door too even though it does not roll up in the true sense. Once in a while it is an actual rolling steel door, the kind you see on a storage unit or over a warehouse opening. They all open overhead so the name fits all of them, and Garage Door Repair Pros works on every one of these types. When you call it helps if you can tell us how the door opens, whether it goes up in panels along a track or winds up into a coil above the opening, because that tells us what parts to bring out with us. 916-282-4720

Sectional overhead doors

This is the door most people mean when they call us. It is a row of panels hinged together with rollers on the ends, and those rollers ride in a vertical track that curves back into a horizontal track running along the ceiling. So the door does not really roll up, it goes up the opening in sections and then lays back flat overhead. The weight is carried by a torsion spring on a shaft above the opening with cables running down to the bottom bracket on each side. A commercial door is built the same way as a home door, just bigger and heavier, and the difference is how hard it gets used. A door on a busy shop might cycle more in a month than a home door does in a year, so the springs, the cables and the rollers all wear out much sooner than people expect them to. Broken springs and frayed cables are what we replace the most, along with doors that have come off the track and panels that have been backed into. Rollers are worth mentioning here because the ones that come on a lot of doors are not made for that kind of use, and we will often put a synthetic roller on in place of the metal assembly to keep the track system from failing early.

We buy torsion springs in bulk and keep a large stock of them on hand in high grade steel made for commercial applications, so a broken spring does not mean waiting around for a part to come in.

Rolling steel doors

A true rolling door is built differently. Instead of hinged panels there is a curtain of narrow steel slats locked together that winds around a barrel mounted above the opening, and the springs that balance it are inside that barrel where you cannot see them. There is no overhead track with this kind, just a guide running up each side that the curtain rides in. Storage units and older warehouse openings are usually where we run into them, and they are typically operated with a chain hoist, though the newer ones have a motor on them. What we get called out for is the curtain coming out of the guides, slats bent up by a forklift or a truck backing into them, a door that has gotten hard to lift or will not stay up, and chain hoists that slip. Those barrel springs hold a tremendous amount of tension and we would rather you call us than try to let one down yourself.

Service for businesses

A door that will not open can shut down your deliveries for the day or leave the building sitting open overnight, and we understand that. Garage Door Repair Pros offers same day service and we have emergency service available 24/7. You get the price in writing before we start and there is no up-selling. We inspect the door when we are finished to make sure the work is going to last, and if there is ever a problem with something we did we will come back out at no charge to you. All of our work is guaranteed.
