Rolling Steel and Roll-Up Door Repair in Burnaby
We repair roll-up doors and shutters on Burnaby storefronts, warehouses and storage units, and the rolling grilles found at many tower and retail buildings.
Metrotown high-rise skyline, Burnaby
Roll-up door repair in Burnaby means fixing curtains that jam in their guides, dented slats, doors that are hard to lift, bent bottom bars, worn weather strips and motors that hum without moving the door. Heavy rain finds every gap under a worn bottom strip, and doors on higher ground near Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain stay wetter. Most adjustments and slat repairs take a few hours.
- Heavy rain shows up gaps under a worn bottom strip on a rolling door.
- Higher sites near Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain stay wetter and cooler.
- Spring tension problems show up on cold winter mornings.
- We repair grilles and shutters at retail and mixed-use buildings around Metrotown and Brentwood.
Common roll-up faults we fix
- Curtain jammed in its guides
- Dented or bent slats from an impact
- Door hard to lift or won't stay up
- Bottom bar bent or weather strip worn out
- Lock no longer lining up
- Motor hums but the curtain doesn't move
Most of these are adjustments or part replacements. A curtain that is badly bent or rusted is sometimes better replaced as a whole, and we will tell you when that is the case.
Rain and grit in the guides
Rainfall in Burnaby rises with elevation, so doors on Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights and near Burnaby Mountain see more water than those on the South Slope. Wet guides collect grit, and a gritty guide makes the curtain drag and wear.
We clean and lubricate the guides and replace the bottom weather strip. On steep approaches, water can run toward the door, so a good strip and a straight bottom bar matter more.
Tower and retail buildings
The tower clusters around Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed include many ground-floor shops and service areas with rolling grilles and shutters. These are often run daily by tenants, so wear builds up quickly. When a shutter starts dragging, it is cheaper to adjust it early than to replace bent slats later.
We can send quotes to the property manager. The quote depends on the door size, slat profile, damage and whether the door is motorized. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and also cover New Westminster, North Vancouver, Vancouver and Surrey.

Questions we get
Our grille drags and squeals. What does that mean?
Usually dirty or bent guides, or spring tension that has dropped. Cleaning the guides and adjusting the tension fixes many doors.
Water gets under our rolling door in heavy rain. Can that be fixed?
Yes. A new bottom weather strip, and straightening or replacing a bent bottom bar, usually stops it.
Can bent slats be replaced one at a time?
Often, if they are a standard profile. Curtains that are badly bent or rusted along their length may be better replaced.
Do you work with property managers for tenant shutters?
Yes. Quotes can go to the manager, and work can be booked before the tenant opens.
Can a manual shutter be motorized?
Many can, if the curtain and barrel are in good shape. An operator sized for the door is added with safety controls.
