What it involves

A motorised garage door is a machine that moves a lot of weight several times a day and, like any machine, it wears out: springs lose tension, cables fray, tracks get dirty and the motor strains without anyone noticing until the day the door will not open. A maintenance contract is there to get ahead of that day.

We offer annual contracts for residential communities, businesses with industrial units or commercial premises, and homeowners with a garage at home. On every visit we lubricate tracks, hinges, bearings and shafts, adjust the spring tension and limit switches, check cables, pulleys and fixings, and test the photocells, safety edges, fall-arrest system and manual release. Afterwards we leave you a report on what we have done and what should be kept an eye on, and we record it in the door’s maintenance logbook.

The frequency of visits is tailored to how the door is used: a villa’s door is not the same as one in a community garage with many parking spaces or a warehouse door that opens and closes all day long. We maintain doors of any type, whether we installed them or not.

Maintenance contracts: jobs we do

These are the jobs we are asked for most. If yours looks like one of them, call us and we will tell you how we would handle it.

Garage door maintenance contract for residential communities

The door of a community garage is the most used shared element in the building and the one that generates the most complaints when it fails. With a maintenance contract, the community has scheduled inspections throughout the year, a report after every visit and an up-to-date maintenance logbook, which is what the property administrator needs to keep the door under control. We set the frequency according to the number of parking spaces and door cycles, and we notify the president or the administrator of each visit in advance so that residents are aware.

Regular garage door servicing

A proper inspection is not a quick squirt of oil and off we go. We check that the door is balanced by disconnecting the motor and moving it by hand, inspect the condition of the springs, cables, pulleys, bearings and tracks, tighten the fixings, clean and lubricate the moving parts and check the motor, the control panel and remote reception. We finish with several full cycles to confirm that the door opens and closes smoothly, without noise, without jerking and stopping exactly where it should.

Automatic door maintenance for businesses and industrial units

In an industrial unit, a workshop or a warehouse, a door out of action means lorries waiting, goods that cannot come in or premises that cannot be locked up at night. That is why business contracts are planned around each door’s hours of use, with visits at the times that least disrupt your operations. We service the industrial sectional doors, roller shutters, sliding doors and pedestrian doors on the premises, and in the report we separate what is urgent from what can wait so that you can plan the expense in advance.

Safety check: photocells, safety edges and fall arrest

The most important part of every visit is safety, because a garage door that fails can trap a person or fall onto a car. We test that the photocells stop and reverse the door when the beam is broken, that the safety edges react at the first contact, that the fall-arrest or anti-drop device is in a fit state to hold the door, and that the flashing lights and traffic lights, if the door has them, give proper warning. If anything does not respond, we note it down and explain how to put it right.

Maintenance logbook and a report after every inspection

At the end of each visit we give you a report covering what was checked, what was adjusted, the condition of the wearing parts and what should be replaced before it causes problems. We also record it in the door’s maintenance logbook, which holds its complete history: inspection dates, work carried out and parts replaced. For a community or a business, it is the way to prove that the door is regularly maintained, and for the next technician who works on it, it is a huge help.

More jobs in this service

  • Lubricating garage door tracks, hinges, bearings and shafts

    Summer heat and dust dry out the grease and turn tracks and bearings into sandpaper. We clean off the built-up dirt and apply the right lubricant to each part, without any excess that would attract more dust, so that the door moves smoothly and without squeaking.

  • Garage door spring adjustment and tensioning

    Over time springs lose tension and the motor has to carry the weight they used to balance. We adjust the tension so that the door is balanced and spot fatigued springs in time, before they snap with the door open.

  • Adjusting limit switches and motor force

    We set the limit switches so that the door stops exactly when it opens and closes, without hitting the floor or straining the stops, and we adjust the motor force so that it stops at an obstacle without halting at the slightest friction.

  • Garage door cable and pulley inspection

    On sectional doors and spring-operated up-and-over doors, the cables hold the door up. We check for broken strands, rust and correct winding on the drums, and make sure the pulleys turn without play, because a cable that is giving way usually shows warning signs before it breaks.

  • Testing the manual release and the battery

    We check that the door can be released and moved by hand when the power goes off, that the key or pull cord works and, if the motor has a battery, that it charges and provides enough cycles to get the car out of the garage.

  • Maintenance for your home garage door

    For villas, townhouses and houses with their own garage, we offer a simple contract with an annual inspection that includes lubrication, adjustments and a safety test. It is the most worry-free way to avoid the breakdown that leaves your car stuck inside on a Monday morning.

  • Checking fixings, tracks and structure

    The vibration from every cycle loosens screws and wall fixings. We check that the tracks, brackets and frame are firm and aligned, retighten whatever is needed and look out for cracks or movement in the opening that could knock the door out of square.

  • Pre- and post-summer garage door inspection on the coast

    In beach apartments the door sits almost idle for months and then works non-stop in July and August. We schedule one visit before the season so that it is ready, and another afterwards to check the wear from the summer.

  • Salt air protection for seafront garage doors

    Near the sea, the salty air rusts fixings, hinges and springs much sooner than inland. On seafront doors we clean off the salt residue, treat the first spots of rust and protect the metal parts to slow down corrosion.

  • Sectional garage door maintenance

    On sectional doors we check the torsion springs, the cables and drums, the rollers and hinges between the panels and the ceiling motor rail, and make sure the panels close in line and the bottom seal sits tight against the floor.

  • Up-and-over and roller garage door maintenance

    On up-and-over doors we check the counterweights or springs, arms, tracks and lock; on roller doors, the barrel, slats, stops and the tubular or central motor. They are sturdy doors, but they have very specific wear that is worth keeping an eye on at every visit.

  • Sliding and swing gate maintenance for plots

    Outdoor gates face sun, rain and dust all year round. On sliding gates we clean the track and wheels and check the rack; on swing gates, the hinges, stops and the arms or underground motors, which can collect water after a storm.

  • Switching garage door maintenance company

    If you are not happy with your current service or the company that installed your door no longer exists, we carry out a full initial inspection, tell you what condition the door is in and start the contract from there, with the maintenance logbook up to date.

  • Maintenance for property managers with several communities

    If you manage several buildings, we group the inspections for all your communities into a single calendar and send you the reports sorted by building, so that you can keep track of every door without chasing anyone.

What you get with us

  • Fewer unexpected breakdowns

    Most breakdowns give warning signs first: a noise, a tired spring, a cable with broken strands. We pick them up at every inspection and they are dealt with before the door stops working.

  • Springs and motor that last longer

    A balanced, well-lubricated door puts far less strain on the motor and the springs, which work without being overloaded and last longer.

  • Safety checked on every visit

    You know that the photocells, safety edges and fall-arrest device really work, not just that the door opens. Peace of mind for you and for anyone who walks underneath.

  • Always our own team

    Inspections are carried out by our own team, with no subcontractors, who get to know your door, its history and its weak points visit after visit.

How we do it, step by step

  5. Report and up-to-date logbook

    We leave you the visit report, record the work in the maintenance logbook and let you know about any part that should be replaced.

Maintenance contracts in Alicante province

In the province of Alicante, garage doors wear out for very specific reasons. On the coast, from Playa de San Juan and El Campello to Santa Pola and Arenales del Sol, salt air rusts springs, cables and fixings much sooner than inland. Long, hot summers dry out the grease, the sun takes its toll on motors and control panels on outdoor doors, and spells of calima haze leave fine dust on tracks and bearings. And after a gota fría, basement garages that take in water down the ramp need their motor, their control panel and the bottom of the door checked.

Usage also varies a great deal from one area to another. Apartment blocks in Alicante, Elche and San Vicente del Raspeig have community garages that open at all hours; urbanisations such as Gran Alacant or Muchavista see usage multiply in summer; and on industrial estates such as Elche Parque Empresarial, Carrús or Pla de la Vallonga there are warehouse doors working shift after shift. That is why we plan each contract around the door, the climate where it is located and its real workload.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most about maintenance contracts.

Maintenance contracts: your questions

Is maintenance of a community garage door compulsory?

The product standard UNE-EN 13241-1 requires every door to be supplied with its instructions for use and maintenance, and the owner, in this case the community, is responsible for making sure it operates safely. That is why it is advisable to have it inspected regularly and to keep a record in a maintenance logbook. A contract with a report after every visit is the simplest way to comply and to be able to prove it.

How often should a garage door be serviced?

It depends mainly on how much it is used. For the door of a house, one inspection a year is usually enough. In a busy community garage, a car park or an industrial unit where the door runs all day, several visits a year make sense, so that too much time never goes by between one inspection and the next. We set this in the contract after seeing the door and finding out how much it is used.

What does each maintenance visit include?

Cleaning and lubrication of tracks, hinges, bearings and shafts; adjustment of springs and limit switches; inspection of cables, pulleys, fixings and structure; checks on the motor, the control panel and the closing force; and testing of the photocells, safety edges, fall arrest and manual release. We finish with several full cycles, fill in the report and record it in the maintenance logbook.

Do you maintain garage doors you did not install?

Yes. As manufacturers we know every type of garage door, so we maintain sectional, up-and-over, roller, swing and sliding doors from any source. Before signing the contract, we carry out an initial inspection to find out the real condition of the door and tell you clearly whether anything needs fixing before the regular visits begin.

What happens if the door breaks down between two inspections?

Call us on 865 443 261. We are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 19:00 and on Saturdays from 9:00 to 14:00, and for anything that cannot wait we have a 24-hour emergency service. Because your door’s history is in the maintenance logbook, the technician arrives knowing which parts it has and what has been done before, so the repair is quicker.
