Commercial garage doors, motors and repairs
RSM repairs, replaces and installs commercial garage doors for shops, warehouses and storage properties across Fremont and the Bay Area: roll-up and sectional doors, commercial door operators (motors), springs, cables, slats and tracks. We're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and estimates are free.
A door that won't open is a business that can't load, ship or rent. Call or text (408) 509-2023 any hour, and send a photo of the door, the motor or the damage. We'll tell you what we see before we drive out.
What we work on
- Roll-up doors: the coiling steel curtain doors on shops, warehouses, storage units and carports.
- Commercial sectional doors: larger, heavier versions of a home garage door, often with windows or insulated panels.
- Commercial door operators (motors): repaired, replaced and adjusted so the door opens and closes on command.
- Springs and cables: broken springs replaced and the door balanced so the motor isn't doing all the lifting.
- Slats, panels and tracks: bent slats, damaged panels and bent or loose guides from a truck or forklift hit.
Roll-up or sectional: which door do you have?
| Roll-up door | Sectional door | |
|---|---|---|
| How it opens | The steel curtain coils into a drum above the opening | Hinged panels ride up tracks and lie flat under the ceiling |
| Where you see it | Storage units, shop fronts, carports, loading areas | Warehouses, service bays, larger shop doors |
| Common problems | Bent slats, curtain off its guides, worn or broken spring in the drum | Broken springs and cables, damaged panels, rollers out of the track |
| What to tell us | Width and height, and whether it's manual or motorized | Width and height, and the operator brand if you can see it |
Not sure? A photo of the door from inside, with the motor and the top of the door in the frame, tells us almost everything.
Signs it needs service now
- The motor runs but the door doesn't move, or moves a few inches and stops. Often a broken spring, a slipped chain or a worn drive part in the operator.
- The door is crooked or binding in its guides. Stop using it. Forcing it can bend the curtain or panels further.
- A loud bang, then a very heavy door. That's usually a spring. Don't keep running the motor against it.
- The door won't stay closed or reverses. Safety sensors, limit settings or a damaged bottom bar.
- Slow, noisy or shaky travel. Worn rollers, dry bearings or a spring that's losing tension. Cheaper to fix before it fails.
Who calls us
Self-storage properties, shops, warehouses, workshops and residential carports with roll-up doors. Property managers call us for more than one site.
“…fast and reliable, we have used their services at multiple storage properties.”
How a commercial call works
- Call or text a photo of the door, the operator and any damage, with the address.
- Free estimate: what's wrong, what it costs, and what can wait.
- We come out, day or night, including evenings and weekends, so the door is working before your next shift or tenant.
- Fixed and tested: the door balanced, the operator adjusted, and safety reversing checked.
