The Checklist for Annual Commercial Garage Door Inspections
Written by David K. (Senior Technician) · 6 min read
Commercial overhead doors at warehouse bays, loading docks, and parking garages run under intense duty cycles. A failed commercial door can halt business operations, delay shipments, and pose significant safety hazards. Performing a professional inspection once a year is critical for safety and compliance.
The Commercial Inspection Checklist
Our industrial garage door inspectors focus on these key areas:
- High-Cycle Spring Calibration: Inspecting high-cycle torsion coils for stress cracks and adjusting tension to ensure correct balance.
- Track Alignment and Leveling: Verifying that heavy-gauge tracks are perfectly level and anchored securely to the wall.
- Monitored Safety System Check: Testing pneumatic safety edges, photo-eyes, and motor reversing mechanisms.
- Weld Integrity Check: Inspecting all structural hinges and top brackets for weld cracks.
