Maintenance FAQs

How often should I get maintenance?

Yes, for shippers with consistent volume, we can discuss dedicated lanes and contract rates. This provides more predictable pricing and capacity for your ongoing shipping needs. Contact us to learn more about our contract freight options.

What does maintenance include?

Our service includes visual inspection, lubrication of all moving parts, spring tension check, safety system testing, hardware tightening, and opener calibration.

Can maintenance prevent repairs?

Absolutely! Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive repairs. Well-maintained doors also last significantly longer.

What lubricant should I use between services?

Use a silicone-based or lithium spray lubricant on hinges, rollers, and springs. Avoid WD-40 which can actually attract dust and grime.

Will you tell me if something needs repair?

Yes, we provide a complete condition report after each service, identifying any issues and recommending repairs before they become emergencies.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes! Our annual maintenance plan includes yearly service, priority scheduling, and discounts on any repairs needed throughout the year.
