When a commercial door fails, your facility loses operational continuity, security, and energy envelope all at once. Emergency overhead door repair is the difference between a one-hour shutdown and a one-week closure. We dispatch certified technicians 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from 61 Canadian cities — same-day on emergency calls received before 2 PM, next-business-day on non-emergency.
What qualifies as an emergency
Operationally, we treat the following as emergencies (90% same-day response):
- Door stuck open in a heated facility, security risk, or weather event
- Door stuck closed blocking truck access at a distribution centre
- Broken spring — door is unsafe to operate, can drop suddenly
- Cable failure — same risk as broken spring, immediate dispatch
- Operator failure at a high-cycle dock or dealership service bay
- Impact damage that compromises security or fire-rating
- Fire-rated door drop-test failure — annual NFPA 80 inspection finding
Non-emergencies (next-business-day):
- Slow opening/closing (lubrication needed)
- Worn weather seals (energy loss but functional)
- Cosmetic panel damage
- Operator settings drift
Truck-stocked parts coverage
Our service trucks carry parts for the top 50 commercial door brands sold in Canada — every major North American commercial-door brand, a major commercial-door brand, Stanley, Record, Nabco, and more. Single-visit completion rate: 87% on emergency calls. The remaining 13% involve custom-spec parts (oversized springs, proprietary operator boards, fire-rated specific hardware) that require return service the next business day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
Same-day for calls received before 2 PM in major metros (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg). Same-business-day for calls received before 10 AM in secondary markets. Next-business-day for non-emergency or remote-location calls.
What's an after-hours emergency call cost?
Standard hourly rate plus an after-hours premium (typically 1.5x labour, no parts markup). The premium kicks in after 5 PM weekdays, all weekends, and statutory holidays. We quote the premium up-front before dispatch.
What if the part isn't on the truck?
87% of emergency calls complete in a single visit. If we need a custom part, we secure the door (manual override, temporary closure, security wrap) and return next business day with the correct part — no second trip charge.
Do you service brands you didn't install?
Yes. We service every commercial door brand sold in Canada. Your warranty doesn't get voided because the original installer changed company names — we honour OEM warranty terms when they apply.
