Commercial Overhead Door Repair in Burnaby
From tower parkades in Metrotown and Brentwood to service bays and warehouses, we repair Burnaby's sectional overhead doors and keep the time they are out of use short.
Metrotown high-rise skyline, Burnaby
We handle commercial overhead door repair in Burnaby for strata towers, townhouse complexes, shops and warehouses. Typical jobs are broken springs and cables, bent sections, worn rollers and hinges, and torn bottom seals. Burnaby gets wetter and cooler as you go up Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain, and heavy rain is when gaps in the bottom seal show up.
- Heavy rain exposes gaps in bottom seals, especially at doors on sloped approaches.
- Spring breaks rise on cold winter mornings, and higher ground stays cooler.
- Doors under living space need quiet rollers and hinges as well as a working door.
- Bent sections and track can often be replaced without a new door.
Rain, slopes and bottom seals
Rainfall in Burnaby rises with elevation, so Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain stay wetter and cooler than the South Slope near the Fraser. Steep approaches in Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights put extra wear on bottom seals and can let water in at the door.
A heavy rain is often the first sign. Water runs under the door, the seal is torn or flattened, or the bottom section has bent and no longer meets the floor. We replace the seal, straighten or replace the bottom section, and check that the door closes evenly across the opening.
Noise from doors below suites
Many Burnaby buildings have doors set under living space. In the tower clusters around Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed, a door that grinds every time it opens is heard by the units above.
On a high-cycle door the usual cause is worn rollers and dry or cracked hinges. We replace the worn parts, lubricate the moving hardware and check the balance so the operator isn't straining. A quiet, balanced door also lasts longer.
Other repairs and how we book them
We also fix broken springs and cables, doors that drop fast or won't stay up, and doors pushed off track by a vehicle. If a door has a broken spring or frayed cable, leave it secured and keep people clear until we get there.
The quote depends on the door size and age, which parts are damaged, and whether they are in stock. Most repairs take a few hours. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and also serve New Westminster, North Vancouver, Vancouver and Surrey.

Questions we get
Water comes in under our door every time it rains hard. What is wrong?
Usually a worn or torn bottom seal, or a bent bottom section that no longer sits flat. Heavy rain in Burnaby shows up those gaps quickly. Both can be fixed without replacing the door.
Residents above our door complain about the noise. Can that be fixed?
Often. Worn rollers and dry hinges are the usual cause on a busy door. Replacing them and lubricating the hardware makes most doors much quieter.
A forklift bent two sections. Do we need a new door?
Not always. Bent sections, track and brackets can often be replaced on their own. If several sections or the track are badly damaged, a new door can cost less, and we will show you both.
Can you come before the shop opens?
Often, yes. Our hours are Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and an early start keeps the bay closed for as little time as possible.
What do you need from us to quote?
The door size, roughly how old it is, whether it is sectional or roll-up, the operator brand, and a few photos of the damage.
