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.

Nothing but high praises for the great work done by our 2 repair guys today, John and Anthony. The office called and notified us they would arrive at 8:30AM and they did. They worked well together and were able to get all the end clips fixed that needed to be replaced and helped me grease up the old curtain door. $858 repair to maintain this old curtain style roll up door was awesome. The previous clips had ben banged up by years of abuse and fixed by me and my gate repair tool (just a hammer) for the past 2 years.

It started off with the sales guy who came to look and he was very honest and quoted us $858 and said they could fix the issue of the sliding from the curtain style gate. I think replacement would be in the $5k range which I think we would have held off on.

The office was very responsive as I dealt with Tiffany and Martha for scheduling and paperwork.

One of my customers needed commercial double doors fully replaced with single 36' storefront door. Called VORTEX DOORS and spoke with Sam Holt. After sending pictures and discussing with technician(s), she was able to give me an estimate. If I need full commercial door replacements I know who to call! Sam and Terry, thanks for all your help!
