Surrey Parkade Door and Gate Repair
Surrey's newer strata buildings and townhouse complexes rely on shared entrance doors and gates. We repair them and keep the strata or manager informed so residents aren't left stuck outside.

Parkade door and gate repair in Surrey covers entrance doors stuck open, doors that stop part way or reverse, doors that don't detect cars, remotes that stopped working and doors damaged by vehicles. Strata buildings make up a large share of recent construction, especially in Clayton and Grandview. Cold snaps bring a spike in spring failures. Most repairs take a few hours.
- Strata buildings make up a large share of Surrey's recent construction, so many entrances are shared.
- Busy parking areas mean more doors and gates hit by vehicles.
- Cold snaps bring a spike in spring failures on parkade doors.
- A door stuck open can usually be secured until parts arrive.
Vehicle damage at shared entrances
Surrey has a lot of multi-vehicle households, trucks and RVs, and that means more doors and gates clipped by vehicles. A parkade door that has been hit may still run, but it binds, reverses or comes off track.
We inspect the door, track, operator and safety devices after an impact. Bent parts can usually be replaced. If the door is stuck open, we secure it so the parkade isn't left exposed. The strata or manager gets a quote that covers the damage, which can help if the repair is being charged back to whoever hit it.
Doors that reverse or stop part way
A parkade door that reverses on its own or stops half way usually has a safety problem. Photo eyes get dirty or knocked out of line, safety edges wear out, and travel limits drift over time. We check those first, then the operator.
A door that closes on cars or doesn't detect them needs attention right away. Keep it set to manual or open until it is fixed.
Working with Surrey stratas
Strata councils in Clayton, Grandview and South Surrey often have rules about who approves work on common property. We send quotes to the council or manager, and residents can be told when the door will be out of service.
Cold snaps, felt most inland in Cloverdale and Clayton, bring a spike in spring breaks. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and also cover New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Burnaby.

Questions we get
A resident's truck hit the parkade door. Can it be repaired?
Usually. Bent sections, track and brackets can often be replaced. We secure the door first if it is stuck open.
The door is closing on cars. What should we do?
Set it to stay open or run manually and call us. A door that doesn't detect cars usually has a dirty or misaligned photo eye or a failed safety edge.
Can the strata approve the quote before work starts?
Yes. Quotes go to the council or the property manager, and residents can be told ahead of time.
Our remotes stopped opening the door. Is that your job or the fob company's?
Many problems start at the receiver or wiring at the door, and we can fix those on the same visit. The building's access-control company looks after the fob system itself.
Can the door stay secure while we wait for parts?
In most cases, yes. It can be set to stay closed or run manually until the repair is done.
