Commercial Door Maintenance in Burnaby

Burnaby's tower clusters around Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed run parkade doors that open and close from early morning to late at night. That much use wears rollers, hinges, cables and operator parts faster, so these doors may need service more often than once or twice a year.

Many of them sit below suites. A door that grinds or bangs on every cycle is a common complaint to the strata council, and the usual cause, worn rollers and dry hinges, is exactly what a routine visit catches. Visits are booked outside the morning and evening rush, and residents can be told ahead of time when the door will be down for a short while.

Each visit covers lubrication of moving parts, checks on springs, cables, rollers and hinges, balance and safety reversal tests, and the condition of photo eyes, safety edges and the operator. We note anything that needs repair and quote it, so the council or manager can approve it before it becomes a breakdown.

Rainfall rises with elevation, so properties on Capitol Hill and near Burnaby Mountain get more water at the door than the South Slope. Steep approaches in Capitol Hill and the Heights wear bottom seals faster. We look at the seal on every visit, and on roll-up shutters at shops and offices we also clean the guides and check the bottom bar.

Every visit is written up, so you have a history of each door's condition and repairs. That helps when an insurer or tenant asks for maintenance records, and when a new council takes over and wants to know what was done.

Doors across several properties can go on one plan with one point of contact. A property manager with a tower in Brentwood, a townhouse complex in the middle of the city and a strip of retail units can have them all serviced on the same schedule.

The cost depends on the number and type of doors, how often each is serviced and where they are. We book Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and also cover New Westminster, North Vancouver, Vancouver and Port Moody.
