Why Experts Should Handle Commercial Door Installation and Repair

Commercial doors protect your business, but like anything else they wear out and eventually need replacing. It can be tempting to install a new one yourself to save a few dollars. Here are five reasons that's usually a mistake.

1. It's Harder Than It Looks

A small adjustment is one thing; a full commercial door installation is another. It takes many tools, parts and steps, some of which you may never have done before, and it can take far longer than expected.

2. You Need Special Tools

Commercial doors need specialized equipment, from lifting gear to spring winding bars and closer adjustment tools. Buying them for a single job costs a lot.

3. Mistakes Are Likely, and Costly

The more steps involved, the more chances for error. A mistake can mean higher repair bills and lost business time, and most DIY errors leave a door that won't open, close or latch properly.

4. Someone Could Get Hurt

Without the right training and equipment, you or your employees could be injured. A single injury can cost far more than you saved.

5. No Warranty

A professional installation is done promptly and comes with a warranty if anything goes wrong. A DIY installation doesn't, and it can void the manufacturer's warranty too. Our commercial work carries a 1-year warranty on parts and labour.
