Rolling Service & Coiling Doors Emergency Rolling Steel Door Repair About Our Service
Commercial Rolling Steel Door Installation, Repair & Service
RCI Doors™ services the full rolling steel door assembly across rolling service, fire-rated, wind-load, counter, and security grille configurations.
A rolling steel door earns its place on loading docks and high-cycle openings because the curtain coils straight up into a compact barrel above the opening, saving overhead space and handling far more cycles than many sectional applications.
Fire-rated and wind-load rated versions add code-required protection. Fire-rated curtains close automatically during a fire event, while wind-load assemblies are engineered to hold their guides under specified wind pressure.
A rolling steel door that won’t open, won’t close, or is jammed mid-cycle is a same-day problem, especially on a fire-rated opening. RCI Doors™ provides 24-hour emergency rolling steel door repair across Charlotte, Greensboro, and the Triad. After-hours emergency rates apply.

Repair Issues
Common Rolling Steel Door Problems RCI Doors™ Fixes
RCI Doors™ repairs the full assembly: curtain, guides, barrel, springs, bottom bar, hood, and motor operator.
Curtain Off Guide or Binding
Bent guides, damaged slats, or debris can make the curtain bind, jam, or come off its guides.
Broken or Worn Torsion Spring
Springs are common wear items, and a failed spring can drop the curtain without warning.
Door Won't Fully Close
On a standard door this is a security gap, and on a fire-rated door it is a code-compliance issue.
Motor Operator Failure
A motor that runs but does not move the curtain points to a separate operator or drive failure.
Fire-Rated Door Won't Release or Close Automatically
A fusible-link or closing-mechanism fault can keep a fire-rated door from performing during a fire event.
Damaged or Dented Slats
Impact from forklifts or dock equipment can bend slats enough to bind the curtain in its guides.
Don't Wait for a Failure

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Rolling Steel Doors
What's the difference between a rolling steel door and a sectional overhead door?
A rolling steel door coils into a barrel above the opening, while a sectional overhead door opens in horizontal panels that travel along ceiling-mounted tracks. Rolling steel doors save overhead space, offer higher cycle ratings, and come in fire-rated, wind-load, and high-security configurations.
What is a fire-rated rolling steel door and when is it required?
A fire-rated rolling steel door is a UL-labeled coiling door that automatically closes during a fire event to block flame and smoke through an opening in a rated wall. Local code and the fire marshal determine where one is required.
What fire ratings are available on rolling steel doors?
Rolling steel fire doors are commonly UL-listed at 3/4 hour, 1-1/2 hour, 3 hour, and 4 hour ratings, matched to the surrounding wall assembly.
What's the difference between a rolling service door, a counter shutter, and a security grille?
A rolling service door is the standard slatted steel door for warehouse and dock openings. A counter shutter is a smaller pass-through version. A security grille uses interlocking metal rods for visibility, airflow, and security.
How long do commercial rolling steel doors last?
A commercial rolling steel door often lasts 20 to 30 years in normal service, depending on cycle frequency, maintenance, and environment. Springs, bearings, guides, and motor operators require periodic replacement.
How many operating cycles can a rolling steel door handle?
Standard commercial rolling steel doors are often rated for 20,000 to 50,000 cycles, while heavy-duty and high-cycle versions can handle far more with the right configuration and maintenance.
What is a wind-load rated rolling steel door?
A wind-load rated rolling steel door is engineered to withstand specified wind pressures without deflecting out of its guides or failing, which is important for coastal, large, and code-sensitive openings.
How often should a rolling steel door be inspected or serviced?
Commercial rolling steel doors should be professionally inspected at least once a year, and high-cycle or fire-rated doors may need more frequent documented service.
Is replacing a rolling steel door spring something a facility team can do themselves?
No. Rolling steel door torsion springs are under enough tension to cause serious injury if released incorrectly. RCI Doors™ recommends trained technician service.
Do you service all major rolling steel door manufacturers?
Yes. RCI Doors™ carries and services major commercial rolling steel door brands and repairs rolling steel doors from other manufacturers as well.
