FAQ
Why won’t my commercial garage door open?

Call Up & Down Garage Door Services today for commercial garage door repair and get back to business.
How long will my commercial garage door last?
A commercial garage door can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years depending on usage, maintenance, and environment. High-quality doors that are properly maintained will last toward the higher end of that range. However, individual components like springs or openers may need to be replaced earlier. To get the most out of your door and prevent premature replacements, schedule maintenance with Up & Down Garage Door Services. Our team can extend your door’s life and save you from costly repairs.
How do I manually open my commercial garage door?
Manually opening a commercial garage door should only be done in emergencies and with care. First, pull the emergency release cord to disconnect the opener. Then, lift the door from the bottom using the handles if available. Commercial doors are heavier than residential doors and may require multiple people to lift safely. Always make sure the door is fully open and secured before passing underneath. For safety and to avoid damage, contact Up & Down Garage Door Services for manual operation or repair of your commercial garage door.

Maintenance is also important to ensure all security components are working properly. For expert advice on how to secure your commercial garage door, contact Up & Down Garage Door Services.
