Towers around Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam have added a large strata population, and their parkade doors work hard. We repair them and plan the work with the strata or manager.
Lafarge Lake with Burke Mountain behind, Coquitlam
Parkade door and gate repair in Coquitlam covers doors stuck open, doors that reverse or stop part way, safety edges and photo eyes, remotes that stopped working and doors slowed by heavy use. Tower parkades around Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam cycle all day. On sloped entrances the door doesn't seal evenly, and higher areas like Burke Mountain get cold mornings and snow that freeze seals.
- Tower parkades around Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam cycle all day and wear parts quickly.
- Sloped ramps mean a parkade door may not seal evenly across the opening.
- Snow and ice at the bottom of the door can freeze the seal to the floor.
- If parts are on order, the door can usually be set to stay closed or run manually.
Tower parkades and heavy use
Coquitlam's newer towers around Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam put a lot of cars through each parkade door. Heavy use wears rollers, cables, hinges and operator parts, and the door gets slow and noisy.
We replace worn parts, check the balance, and test the safety edge and photo eyes. If a part has to be ordered, the door can in most cases be set to stay closed or run manually so the parkade stays secure. Quotes go to the strata or property manager.
Sloped entrances
Many Coquitlam sites are on hillsides, and parkade ramps often meet the door on a slope. A door that lands on one side first leaves a gap for rain and wind, and the uneven load wears the track and rollers.
We adjust the door, fit a seal that fills the gap and check the limits so the door closes fully on both sides.
Cold mornings and nearby areas
Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain sit well above sea level and get colder mornings and occasional snow. Springs break in cold snaps, and snow and ice can freeze the bottom seal. New Burke Mountain townhouse stratas typically control exterior changes, so check with the council before we replace a door.
We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and also cover Port Coquitlam, Surrey, New Westminster and Burnaby.

Questions we get
Our parkade door doesn't close evenly. Why?
The ramp often slopes at the door on Coquitlam hillsides. An adjustment and a better-fitting seal usually close the gap.
The door is stuck open. Can you make the building secure?
In most cases, yes. It can be set to stay closed or run manually until the repair is finished.
Why does our door reverse at random?
Often a dirty or misaligned photo eye, a worn safety edge or a travel limit that has drifted. Those are checked first.
Residents' remotes stopped working. Can you help?
Many 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.
Do you send quotes to the strata council?
Yes. Quotes can go to the council or the manager, and residents can be told when the door will be out of service.
