Tips to Consider When Choosing Your Commercial Garage Door

Commercial garage doors are one of the most important investments you can make for your business. Not only does the one you choose need to be durable and able to withstand daily wear-and-tear, but it should also be secure and suit your business needs for years to come.

Before you purchase a new commercial garage door in Kingston, Montreal, Ottawa, or Toronto, look at our buying tips below. With little to no planning, you can be confident the commercial garage door you purchase from us at Automated Door Systems will go the distance for your business. Here are some things to consider:

What kind of commercial overhead door do you need or prefer?

Whereas commercial garage doors are concerned, one size doesn’t fit all. Most commercial overhead doors come in two types: rolling steel and sectional doors. Rolling steel doors are made from galvanized metal or aluminum, so they’re built to last long. These garage doors are great for businesses that require extra storage space, like warehouses, auto shops, and can be both insulated and non-insulated.

Sectional commercial garage doors, on the other hand, are designed to be secure, efficient & long-lasting, and they’re ideal for businesses that have a high amount of traffic. Remember: both types of commercial overhead garage doors can be insulated and fireproofed.

How often do you plan to use the commercial overhead door?

How often do you plan on using your commercial garage door? If you plan on using it all day (and all night), choose a durable sectional door from “Automated Door Systems,” one that is designed for constant use.

Does the door meet local regulations?

There are rules in Kingston, Montreal, Ottawa, or Toronto – and across Canada – about what commercial doors are allowed and even required to be used. Our team can help you choose a garage door that complies with local regulations.

Will a commercial garage door keep your business safe and secure?

No matter what’s behind the doors, like everyone else, you would want to protect it and keep it safe. Try adding locking devices, sensors, and security alarms to your commercial overhead door to increase the safety and security of your products and your employees.

Do you need a garage door opener?

Always ensure that the commercial garage door opener you choose can do the requisite heavy lifting. Most commercial-grade openers available with us at Automated Door Systems are higher in horsepower than those used for residential garage doors. We recommend a power opener versus a manually operated opener, mostly if your commercial overhead door is made from heavy material.

What kind of Visual appearance do you prefer?

Finally, the commercial garage door you choose still needs to look good and match the building’s exterior. Just because it’s an industrial garage door doesn’t mean appearance is irrelevant. The look and feel of your garage door can contribute to the overall brand image of your business, so yes, that old, dented, and rusty door needs to go.
