15 Dec 5 Signs Your Commercial Property Needs a New Overhead Door
If you own a business, it makes sense to use commercial overhead doors. Not only are they convenient, especially if you have a warehouse and need to move machinery around, but garage doors are also good for safety. When it comes to garage doors, though, the downside is that they can become a safety hazard if they’re not properly maintained. To avoid any accidents on your premises, it’s good to know when you need a new overhead door. Here are some helpful signs to watch out for.
Shaking
It is normal for doors to creak sometimes. However, if you notice that your garage door is shaking each time you open or close it, it may be time to get a new overhead door. You should also be on the lookout for any sudden stops or sluggishness. These are typical signs of problems with the motor, and, if checked early, can help prevent damage or injury.
Slow Response
Another sign that you may need a new overhead door is if it responds slowly when activated. Sometimes the solution is as easy as a simple repair. Although, it’s always a good idea to contact a commercial garage door professional to have it checked out in case it needs to be replaced.
Damage
One of the obvious signs that you need a new overhead door is if the door is damaged. Garage doors do not get damaged easily, as they are made to withstand harsh conditions. But many years of wear and tear can begin to add up as your door ages. Dents or misalignments can also lead to serious damage to garage doors. And, if left unrepaired or unreplaced, can even lead to serious health and safety hazards.

Change of Purpose
Sometimes replacing your garage door may be necessary due to a change in the purpose of the premises. For example, if you want to change your business from a warehouse to a restaurant, or you simply want to add an extension to your premises, replacing a new overhead door may be needed to make the transition complete.
Age
Another possible reason for upgrading your overhead door is, of course, the age of your door. If your overhead door is past its prime, you can always choose a more modern door with better sensors. An upgrade will also provide better security for your premises.
