What To Look For in an Automatic Door Repair Company

May 23, 2023

Being a commercial property owner comes with a lot of responsibility. You’re in charge of the people inside the building and the maintenance requirements. And the upkeep involves a lot more than cleaning the grounds every week. You need to focus on every aspect, including the entrance. Let’s start with the automatic door. Here’s what you need to look for in an automatic door repair company.

Repair Costs

Money will always be an important factor. Find a company that charges you a fair price—and a fair price doesn’t necessarily mean cheap. If a company offers repairs for a very low price, don’t be hasty to hire them. Low pricing could be an indicator that they’re not the most sophisticated or skilled experts in the business.

A fair price depends on the services they provide. Repairs could encompass a few different things. And the more services they provide, the more legitimate a business they may be. Make a list of a few different companies and compare prices and services.

Convenience

Convenience is important. In the event of an emergency, you don’t want to wait too long to have the company come out to you. Find one that’s close by. If your door breaks, you don’t want to wait too long to get service.

Reputation

Reputation is another crucial element. Ask around about the company and ask them for their references. Read online reviews to make an informed decision. Depending on the company’s Yelp score, you might start to look in another direction.

Repair Warranty

Before the company repairs your doors, ask about their warranty. Say they fix the door, and then two weeks later, the same issue occurs. You don’t want to pay an additional fee for that second repair.

The company should have a warranty policy, and if they don’t, that’s a clear indication you need to look for someone else to handle the job. A solid warranty policy will ensure your repair lasts and indicates a reliable company.

Brand Specialization

Not all automatic doors are the same. Each one has its own design and comes with its own characteristics. The commercial sliding door repair company you choose needs to specialize in your brand.

Check the design of your door and see if the company specializes in that brand. Some companies specialize in only one brand, and others cover all the bases. There are pros and cons to each type.
