Side-Folding Security Grilles

accordion grilles

Side-folding, coiling and accordion grilles are a common feature in stores, schools, shopping malls, industrial facilities, parking garages, and transportation centers.

Strong, durable, and versatile, they stack neatly away when not in use then unfold rapidly to create a powerful barrier against unlawful and unauthorized entry. However, stress from constant and repeated use can damage its reliability, leaving it unable to protect your business.

Vortex technicians are trained to recognize and repair potential problems, ensuring your grilles function smoothly for years without significant downtime. We’re equipped to handle any and all maintenance issues you might encounter, including:

  • Misaligned Tracks. Grilles depend on straight, even tracks to guide them into position. When they become crooked or bumpy, due to wear or improper installation, we adjust them in order to ensure your grilles open and close smoothly.
  • Broken Components. The rigors of daily use eventually take a toll on hinges, rollers, springs, and locking mechanisms, making it difficult or even impossible to operate your grille. Through regular inspections, Vortex technicians identify and replace worn components before they lead to serious issues.
  • Viscous Residue. When dust, debris, and grease build up on the tracks, rollers, and hinges, it can impair your grille’s function. Routinely cleaning and lubricating your grille keeps it moving effortlessly throughout the year.

  • Rust. Grilles exposed to the elements can become corroded unless properly weatherized. Vortex technicians detect signs of rust, replacing components when they become too moldered.
  • Electrical Issues. Loose wires and damaged circuits can prevent motorized grilles from responding to their control systems. Electrical checks by our qualified staff ensures electronic components respond when activated.
  • Structural Damage. Impacts and forced entry attempts can create dents, break locks, and leave behind broken struts, leaving you vulnerable to break-ins. Our service teams reconstruct damaged grilles, restoring them to their original strength.

Vortex maintenance teams experience and knowledge allows us to optimize the operation of side coiling and accordion grilles, servicing critical parts in order to optimize your security system. By proactively checking and repairing any damage, we lower the cost of ownership while extending the lifespan of your grille.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Excellent

Paz and Angel were quick and efficient at changing the hinge style on our door to solve the issue we were encountering. Called the company on Monday, got diagnosed on Tuesday, after a hiccup on Wednesday from a different tech they had the new part ordered and installed by Friday.

Jeff Burbine did an amazing job trouble shooting the continuous door issue I was having at my office. He is an electrical genius and was able to quickly and efficiently rectify the problem. Vortex is very lucky to have someone so knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. Thank you Jeff and Vortex.
