01 — Common situations

Why London businesses call us.

Six situations where commercial operations bring us in. Every one of them is preventable, manageable, or solvable — usually all three.

i

Door down, business stopped

Loading dock door stuck closed during a delivery window. Production line door blocked. We dispatch the same day, often within 2 hours.

ii

Aging door at high cycles

20+ cycles per day for 5+ years. Springs, cables, and rollers are at end-of-life. Schedule preventive replacement before failure costs you a day's operations.

iii

Multi-door facility, no contract

Five, ten, twenty doors across a property. Sporadic repairs from different vendors. A maintenance contract reduces total cost and prevents emergency downtime.

iv

New build or expansion

New warehouse, addition, or fleet bay. We coordinate with contractors on opening dimensions, header heights, and door selection.

v

Truck or forklift impact

Truck backed in too far, forklift clipped a panel, dock door bent. Rapid panel replacement and track repair to get you operational fast.

vi

Weather seal failure

Bottom seal cracked, vermin entering, conditioned air escaping. Often a quick replacement with significant impact on energy and cleanliness.

02 — Maintenance contracts

Three tiers. One predictable bill.

Most commercial customers eventually move to a contract. The math is simple: one prevented day of downtime usually pays for the year. SLA-backed dispatch is in writing.

What is commercial door service?

Quick answer: Commercial door service covers four product categories: roll-up doors (steel curtain that coils overhead), sectional doors (paneled, heavier-duty than residential), high-speed doors (rapid open/close for traffic-heavy openings), and specialty doors (fire-rated, food-grade, security-rated).

Commercial doors look similar to residential doors at a glance, but the engineering is different in important ways. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000–100,000+ cycles instead of 10,000. Heavier-gauge steel tracks and panels. Industrial-grade openers with three-phase power options. Safety systems meeting OSHA and Ontario workplace standards.

The economics are also different. A residential door failure is an inconvenience; a commercial door failure can shut down operations costing $1,000+ per hour. That's why most commercial customers move to maintenance contracts — quarterly inspections that catch wear before it becomes downtime.

Why contracts save money.

Quick answer: A typical loading dock door at 30 cycles per day will eventually need spring replacement, cable replacement, roller replacement, and seal replacement — anywhere from $800–$2,400 in eventual repairs over 5 years. Most of that is preventable with $480–$720/year in quarterly maintenance.

Contracts also include priority dispatch: when a contract customer calls with a down door, they jump the queue. Average response is 2 hours instead of 4–6 for non-contract emergencies. For a manufacturing facility, a single 4-hour saved on a stuck dock door can be worth more than a year of contract fees.

Response time guarantees.

Quick answer: Maintenance contract customers receive guaranteed dispatch times: same-day for Basic tier, within 4 hours for Standard, within 2 hours for Premium. Non-contract commercial customers receive priority over residential calls — typically dispatched within 4 hours during business hours.

We back response times with the contract. If we miss our SLA on a contract customer, the next month's maintenance is free. We've issued credits exactly twice in the last three years — both during major winter storms — and both times the customer noted they felt the policy was fair.

Pricing on emergency parts is also locked under contracts. No surge pricing on weekends or holidays. What you pay Tuesday afternoon is what you pay Sunday at midnight.

Code & compliance.

Quick answer: We're licensed (#ON-2847), insured to commercial coverage levels, and familiar with Ontario fire code, OHSA workplace requirements, and local building bylaws. Our installers carry working-at-heights certification and confined-space training where required.

Different industries have different code requirements. Fire-rated doors need annual drop tests documented. Apparatus bay doors at fire halls need battery backup and 8-second open speed. Food-grade facilities need NSF-certified panel coatings. We handle the documentation and certifications most generalist contractors miss. (Ontario Building Code Section 3.1.8; OHSA Reg. 213/91)

Real operations. Real results.

★★★★★

Twelve doors across our facility. Switched to their Standard maintenance contract two years ago. Unscheduled downtime went from monthly to twice a year. Best operational decision we made that year.

★★★★★

Six service bay doors, 40+ cycles per day each. Their high-cycle springs lasted 3x what we used to get. Quarterly inspections catch issues before breakdowns. Worth every cent.

SM

★★★★★

Old vendor went out of business mid-contract. Garage Door London picked up our four loading dock doors with zero gap in service. Contract honored as written, response times have actually improved. Genuinely impressed.

07 — Questions

Commercial service, answered.

Looking for specifics on multi-site contracts, code compliance, or emergency response? Call (519) 933-3384 — we route commercial inquiries directly to senior dispatch.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?+
Yes. We offer three tiers: Basic ($199/door/quarter, same-day dispatch), Standard ($249/door/quarter, 4-hour response), and Premium ($299/door/quarter, monthly visits, 2-hour 24/7 response). All include scheduled inspections, lubrication, balance testing, safety verification, and discounted parts and labor rates.
What's the response time for emergency commercial calls?+
Contract customers get guaranteed SLA dispatch: same-day, 4-hour, or 2-hour depending on tier. Non-contract commercial customers get priority over residential calls — typically dispatched within 4 hours during business hours. Outside business hours, average commercial emergency arrival is 90–120 minutes.
Do you service roll-up doors?+
Yes — roll-up (or coiling) doors are a core part of commercial work. Common applications include self-storage, small loading bays, security shutters, and fire doors. Service includes drum service, curtain replacement, weather seal, motor replacement, and code compliance verification.
Can you handle multi-site maintenance contracts?+
Yes. We service multi-site portfolios across the London region — multiple branches of the same business, property management portfolios, and franchise operations. Single point of contact, unified billing, consistent SLA across all locations.
Do you do new commercial installations?+
Yes. New construction, additions, and door upgrades. We work directly with contractors and project managers on framing, header heights, opener specifications, and code compliance. Installations range from $3,800 for a basic 10x10 sectional to $12,000+ for high-speed or specialty doors.
What brands do you carry for commercial doors?+
Industry-leading commercial brands: Garaga Commercial, Steel-Craft Commercial, Wayne Dalton Industrial, Richards-Wilcox, and CornellCookson for roll-ups. Openers from LiftMaster Commercial and Manaras. We can also service most existing brands regardless of original installer.
Are you familiar with Ontario commercial code requirements?+
Yes. We're licensed (#ON-2847), insured to commercial coverage levels, and familiar with Ontario fire code, OHSA workplace requirements, and local building bylaws. Our installers carry working-at-heights certification and confined-space training where required.
Can you provide priority dispatch without a contract?+
We can in some cases — if you're in our regular service rotation as a commercial customer, we'll prioritize your calls when capacity allows. But formal SLA-backed priority dispatch is contract-only. Many customers find that even one prevented day of downtime pays for the contract.
