Sliding and multi-panel horizontal doors come in all sizes. Vortex can help service, repair, and refurbish all types of horizontal sliding doors.

Horizontal sliding doors are a popular choice for oversized commercial buildings due to their versatility, efficiency, and aesthetics. They operate by sliding horizontally, typically opening from side to side, with overhead rollers supported by a floor track.

Though horizontal sliding doors are generally low maintenance, like any other system, they can experience mechanical issues over time. Vortex has the experience and technical expertise required to handle issues that impact performance and longevity, such as:

  • Track and Roller Wear. Debris often builds up on rollers and tracks over time, which can lead to difficulty opening and closing the door, especially in exposed areas, prone to stormy weather. Regular cleaning and lubrication help prevent this issue.
  • Worn or Damaged Rollers. Weight, pressure, and friction can wear out rollers, leading to problems with traction and load distribution. Recurring inspections and replacements allow the door to operate smoothly.
  • Misalignment. Because buildings can settle and track components can shift over time, tracks have to be regularly checked and adjusted to ensure they continue to open and close properly.

  • Weather Stripping and Seals. Worn, crack, and damaged weatherstripping prevents your climate systems from working efficiently. Seals need to be inspected at least once a year in order to maintain the door’s performance.
  • Motor and Electrical Systems. If your door is motorized, its gears, sensors, drive system, and electrical components should be tested periodically to make sure they are working as intended.

Vortex did a wonderful job getting our new warehouse all set up for us. We kept getting in their way accidentally at times and were so chill about it. Steve was too kind always pausing so we can squeeze by. Highly recommend for their speed and efficiency!
