Parkade Door and Gate Repair in Burnaby
The tower clusters at Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed put heavy traffic through parkade doors every day. We repair those doors and gates and plan the work with the strata or property manager.
Metrotown high-rise skyline, Burnaby
Parkade door and gate repair in Burnaby is mostly about heavy use. Towers around Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed run doors that cycle constantly, so rollers, cables and operators wear out and doors get slow and noisy. We also fix doors stuck open, doors that reverse or stop part way, failed safety edges and photo eyes, remote problems at the receiver and vehicle damage.
- Tower parkades at Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed cycle constantly and wear parts quickly.
- Noisy parkade doors under suites are a common complaint from residents.
- Heavy rain shows up gaps in bottom seals at ramp entrances.
- A door stuck open can usually be secured until parts arrive.
Heavy traffic in tower parkades
Burnaby's dense tower clusters around Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed mean a steady stream of vehicles passes through each parkade door every day. That kind of use wears rollers, hinges, cables and operator parts much faster than on a quieter door.
The early signs are a door that is slower than it used to be, louder on every cycle, or stops and reverses part way. We replace worn parts, check the balance and operator, and test the safety edge and photo eyes. Catching wear early keeps the door from failing at rush hour.
Noise and suites above the door
Many Burnaby buildings have living space above or beside the parkade entrance. A door that grinds or bangs every cycle is heard by residents all day and night. Worn rollers, dry hinges and a door that is out of balance are the usual causes, and fixing them makes a big difference.
Rain at the ramp and how we schedule
Rainfall rises with elevation, so buildings on Capitol Hill and near Burnaby Mountain get more water at the ramp. Heavy rain shows up gaps in the bottom seal and runs into the parkade.
If a part has to be ordered, the door can usually be set to stay closed or run manually so the building stays secure. We send quotes to the strata or manager and can give notice to residents. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and also cover New Westminster, North Vancouver, Vancouver and Surrey.

Questions we get
Our tower's parkade door is slow and loud. Is it about to fail?
It may be getting close. Slow, noisy doors usually have worn rollers, hinges or operator parts. Replacing them now is better than waiting for the door to stop.
Why does the door reverse part way down?
Often a dirty or misaligned photo eye, a worn safety edge or a travel limit that has drifted. Those are checked first.
Can the door stay closed while parts are on order?
In most cases. It can be set to stay closed or run manually so the parkade stays secure.
How often should a busy parkade door be serviced?
More often than a quiet one. Parkade doors cycle many times a day, and in a tower the number is high. Regular maintenance catches worn parts before they stop the door.
Can you fix remotes that stopped working?
Many remote problems start at the receiver or wiring at the door and can be fixed on the same visit. The access-control company looks after the fob system itself.
