Commercial door maintenance in Vancouver means scheduled visits to lubricate moving parts, check springs, cables, rollers and hinges, test balance and safety reversal, and note anything that needs repair. Most doors are serviced once or twice a year, and busy parkade and loading doors more often. Each visit takes under an hour per door and is written up, so you keep a record for every door.

- Every visit is written up, so you have a history for each door.
Why Vancouver doors need regular service
Most of Vancouver's rain falls between October and April, and damp weather wears rollers and bottom seals year-round. A door that nobody has looked at for years usually has dry rollers, worn seals and springs that have lost tension. It keeps running until a cold snap, when the tired springs give out together.
Scheduled maintenance catches that wear while it is still a small repair. It won't stop every breakdown, but fewer doors fail without warning.

We write up each visit, so your records show every door's condition and repairs. That helps when an insurer or tenant asks for maintenance records.
Several buildings on one plan
A large share of Vancouver lives in strata buildings, and many managers look after several parkade doors, loading doors and storefront shutters across the city. Doors at several properties can be put on the same plan with one point of contact.
Visits are booked Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, at times that suit residents and tenants. The cost depends on the number and type of doors, how often each is serviced and how far apart the buildings are. We also service doors in North Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and New Westminster.
