The commercial doors of a business are frequently opened and closed by customers and employees throughout the day and work week, and like any other mechanism, constant strain can result in wear. Preventative maintenance of the door glass, hardware, and opening latches of your door can ensure it doesn’t suffer unexpected failure, protect your investment, and the regular operation of your business. Here are a few reasons to perform routine maintenance on your commercial doors.

Why Should You Get Routine Commercial Door Maintenance?

1. To Save Money

Regularly inspecting the state of the door glass and surrounding parts of a commercial door ensures that small damage is fixed before it becomes significant and costly. Not only are extensive repairs expensive, but if the door goes out of order, it can affect the productiveness of your office or lose you customers.  

2. For Safety

Preventative maintenance lowers the risk of sudden failure and protects the workers and customers operating your doors from harm. Doors that have automatic opening systems or use springs are at the highest risk, since mechanical failure can cause them to catch on someone.

3. To Prolong Door Life

A small issue like a crack on a door glass that’s left unaddressed can grow into a full break, making your door inoperable and requiring a full replacement of the glass panel. Routine maintenance on automatic opening mechanisms and glass catches issues while they’re still minor, resulting in easy repairs, and ensures your doors are operating efficiently.
