Commercial garage doors secure your property and keep daily operations moving. When one fails, it needs a correct repair, not guesswork.
A commercial garage door does two jobs at once: it secures your property, and it is something your business relies on every day without thinking about it, until it does not work. RCI Doors™ repairs, installs, and services commercial garage doors across Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Durham, Winston-Salem, Concord, and Cary.
Our technicians handle the full range of issues: broken springs, damaged panels, malfunctioning openers, off-track doors, faulty sensors, worn weather stripping, and routine maintenance that catches problems before they become breakdowns. Whether the job is a single overhead door at a storefront or a full bank of rolling steel doors at a warehouse, the same standard applies: diagnose it correctly, fix it right the first time, and use parts that hold up.
Same-day repair is available for most issues, because a commercial garage door that will not open or close is rarely a problem that can wait.
A commercial garage door that will not close is a security risk, and one that is stuck open is not much better. RCI Doors™ offers same-day garage door repair across Charlotte, Greensboro, and the surrounding NC markets we serve.
RCI Doors™ technicians service the full door assembly so commercial garage doors open, close, seal, and secure the way they should.
RCI Doors™ repairs springs, panels, openers, tracks, sensors, rollers, hinges, and seals for commercial garage doors.
Garage door springs carry immense tension and wear out over time, which can make a door difficult or impossible to open. We replace broken springs safely rather than as a DIY project.
Impacts and severe weather dent or crack garage door panels, which hurts curb appeal and can compromise security and insulation. We repair or replace individual panels where possible.
Faulty wiring, sensor problems, and motor failures all show up as the opener not working. We diagnose the actual cause and can upgrade to a newer opener if that is the better call.
A door that has come off its tracks is a safety hazard and usually a sign of a deeper issue: a bent track, worn rollers, or spring problems.
Sensors stop a garage door from closing on a vehicle, equipment, or a person. If they are not working, the door may not close at all or may reverse unexpectedly.
Grinding, popping, or squeaking usually points to worn rollers, hinges, or hardware that needs lubrication or adjustment before it turns into a bigger repair.
Small garage door problems can quickly become security, safety, and downtime issues.
Leaves your business exposed and can mean a spring or opener problem that will only get worse.
Security riskA worn or failing spring can let the door drop without warning.
Life safetyUsually points to worn rollers, a bent track, or hardware close to failing.
Repair soonDents and cracks weaken the door and let weather in, and often do not require replacing the whole door.
Same-day issueLeads to energy loss and, over time, water intrusion into the building.
Energy and water riskA door that will not close, or reverses unexpectedly, needs sensor service before it is used again.
