Don't operate a visibly damaged door.
Keep the area clear if a door is crooked, binding, has slack cables or will not stay in a safe position. Avoid bypassing safety devices or attempting spring or cable adjustments.
Rolling doors and fire-rated systems may require specialized service, inspection and documentation. We'll confirm whether a particular system is within our scope rather than promising to service every type.

Deciding on the scope
Repair, Maintenance or Replacement?
An isolated failed component may be repairable when the rest of the door is in suitable condition. Repeated failures, severe damage, missing parts, or changed building needs can make replacement worth reviewing.
We'll discuss what was found on-site, the equipment's compatibility, and the options available for your operation.

Commercial garage door questions
Commercial Garage Door FAQs
Information to help you prepare for commercial garage door service.
Do you repair commercial overhead garage doors?
Swift offers commercial garage door service for compatible systems. Tell us whether your door is sectional or rolling and share its approximate size and issue so we can confirm the appropriate service.
What should I do if a commercial door is stuck open?
Keep people and vehicles clear of the opening and avoid operating a damaged or unbalanced door. Call with your location, door type and the problem so our team can check available service options.
Can you repair a commercial garage door spring or cable?
We can assess compatible commercial sectional-door spring, cable and related hardware issues. Components under tension should be handled by trained technicians, not adjusted by building staff.
Do you work on rolling steel doors or fire-rated doors?
Tell us your exact system before booking. Rolling steel and fire-rated doors have different requirements; we will confirm whether our team is equipped and qualified for the requested work. We do not claim fire-door testing or certification for every system.
Can you inspect photo-eyes, sensors or safety edges?
For compatible operators, we can investigate controls and applicable safety devices as part of an inspection. The appropriate test and repair depend on the operator and door manufacturer’s instructions.
How much does commercial garage door repair cost?
Cost depends on door type and size, access to the equipment, damaged components, operator or controls, required parts, and the repair scope. We explain the proposed work and provide a written estimate before you authorize it.
Can we schedule preventive maintenance?
Contact us with the number and type of doors, building location and current concerns. We can discuss a suitable inspection or maintenance visit and confirm availability.
