Rolling Fire Door Inspection & Drop Testing in Hampton, SC

Close to the coast, salt air speeds up corrosion. Galvanized or coated springs, nylon rollers and stainless hardware hold up better than bare steel.

Should I repair or replace my commercial door?
A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about 50% of a replacement, or the commercial door is near the end of its life, replace it. Commercial doors are rated by cycles. If the door has reached its rated cycle life, has several damaged sections, or parts are no longer made, replacing it is often cheaper over the next few years. Springs are the exception: a broken spring is always replaced, never repaired. Our free repair vs. replace calculator can help you compare.
