Commercial garage door repair in Halifax, NS
We repair and replace overhead, sectional, rolling and loading doors for shops, warehouses and buildings across Halifax, any hour. A bay door jammed open in a nor'easter lets in weather and leaves the building exposed, so we treat it as urgent.

Our overhead door is stuck open. What should we do?
Stop operating it, keep staff and vehicles out of the opening, and don't try to force it down. A stuck commercial door usually has a broken spring, a cable off its drum, a section out of the track or an operator fault, and forcing it can bring the door down. Call a technician and secure the area as best you can.
The doors we work on
Commercial doors are larger, heavier and cycle many more times a day than a home garage door, and they fail harder. We repair sectional overhead doors, rolling steel doors, loading dock doors, and the springs, cables, drums, tracks, rollers and operators behind them, at shops, warehouses, garages, depots and apartment parkades. Give us the door type and the operator brand when you call, and a photo if you have one.
Stuck open or stuck shut
Either way the business has a problem. A door that won't close leaves stock and equipment exposed overnight, and in a nor'easter it lets wind-driven rain and snow straight into the building. A door that won't open stops deliveries and traps vehicles. We take these calls around the clock, make the door safe, and if a full repair has to wait for parts, we secure the opening and tell you straight what happens next.
Salt, wind and hard use
Doors near the waterfront, and any bay that trucks pull through in winter, take a steady dose of salt. Rollers seize, cables corrode and bottom sections rust through. Large doors also catch the wind, and a gust against a half-open door can twist sections or pull rollers from the track. Add high cycle counts and parts simply wear out faster than on a house. If a door has become slow, loud, jerky or uneven, have it checked before it quits on a storm night. We can plan regular servicing for sites with several doors.
One supplier for the building
The person in charge of the overhead doors usually looks after the locks on the man-doors beside them, the master key system and card access too. We cover all of it: see our commercial locksmith page. Property managers can set up an account through the landlords page.

Questions people ask
- Do you repair loading dock doors?
- Yes: sectional and rolling loading doors, with their springs, cables, tracks, rollers and operators. Tell us the door type and operator brand when you call, and send a photo if you can.
- A truck hit our door. Can you fix it?
- Usually, yes. We replace bent sections, track and hardware, and if the door can't be made safe the same visit, we secure the opening until the parts are in.
- Do you come out at night or in a storm?
- Yes. A door stuck open or shut is urgent at any hour. We send the nearest available technician and tell you when to expect them.
- Can you service our doors on a schedule?
- For buildings with several doors, regular servicing catches worn springs, cables and rollers before they fail. Ask about it when you call.
- Do you also handle the locks and access control?
- Yes. One supplier for the overhead doors, the man-door locks, master keys and card access is simpler to manage. See the commercial locksmith page.
