Rocky Point Park on Burrard Inlet, Port Moody
Commercial overhead door repair in Port Moody covers broken springs and cables, worn rollers and hinges, bent sections and track, torn seals and doors hit by vehicles. Heavy winter rain and damp air here wear rollers, hinges and seals faster, and cold hillside mornings bring spring breaks. Most spring, cable and roller repairs take a few hours, and we schedule around tenants and residents.

Spring breaks on cold mornings
In Port Moody, broken springs cluster on cold winter mornings, especially on hillside streets around Heritage Mountain, Heritage Woods and Pleasantside, which see more snow than the waterfront. A spring that has been tired for months gives out when the steel is cold.
A door with a broken spring or cable can drop, so leave it secured and keep people and vehicles out from under it. We replace the spring, check its partner and the cables, and balance the door. On doors that cycle all day, high-cycle springs last longer.
Damp wear on rollers, hinges and seals
The city sits at the head of Burrard Inlet between steep forested slopes. It gets heavy winter rain, and many sites get little direct sun in winter, so doors stay damp for months. Rollers and hinges wear and grind, and a door that cycles all day gets loud and jerky.
We replace worn rollers and hinges and lubricate the door. Torn weather seals let rain and wind into the bay, so we replace them too, and fit them to the floor where a hillside lot has left the floor sloped.
Bent sections, track and impact damage
A delivery van or forklift catching a door bends the bottom section or knocks it off the track. Bent sections, track and brackets can usually be replaced on their own. When several sections or the track are badly damaged, a new door can cost less than the repair.
Send photos and the door size, and we'll tell you which way it is likely to go. We also cover Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Surrey and New Westminster.

Questions we get
Is it safe to run the door after a spring snaps?
No. A door with a broken spring or frayed cable can drop. Leave it secured and keep people and vehicles clear until it is repaired.
Why does our door grind more in winter?
Heavy rain and damp wear rollers and hinges. Replacing worn rollers and lubricating the door usually stops it.
Can you repair a door that a truck hit?
Usually. Bent sections, track and brackets can often be replaced. If several sections are badly damaged, a new door may cost less.
Do you repair high-cycle doors?
Yes. Busy doors wear springs, rollers and hinges faster, and high-cycle springs last longer on them.
Can repairs be booked outside our busiest hours?
Often. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and can come early or late so the bay is out of use for less time.
