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.

Overhead doors have been a nightmare the past 3-4 years. Had a 12' X 14' one damaged by high wind. The only (or perhaps first) company who could get it replaced the next day turned out to be a firefighters part time business. Installation was less than perfect and actuator acted up frequently, the tracks were not straight and so on. About three months ago something happened to a cable causing the door to fall on one side, stuck about two feet from closing. Called the same phone number and got "garage doors" as the answer. Didn't think much about that and someone did show up late in the day. Unfortunately anything bigger than a single residential door scared him and he only assisted me in cutting the cables allowing the door to drop and close. $400 for after hours show up! Next day they sent their commercial door expert. He worked on it most of the day including a 2-3 hour trip to get parts because he did not have appropriate size parts on his truck (if any parts at all). He spent several hours charged $1800 before leaving and it sorta worked OK until last night when the actuator would not work to close it. I put a call into Vortex Doors for a call back this morning which came promptly. The seemingly knowledgeable young lady told me they had quite a few emergency calls and would probably not be able to get out until next week which was OK with me. A little after 3:30 I get a call saying they had a tech who could come and inspect to see what was wrong. Andy showed up a few minutes later (we are only about a mile away as it turned out). My instructions were I just wanted it to work reliably for a few years. We had a brief discussion pointing out things to each other and he got right to work making numerous adjustments and checking it out from stem to stern. In a little over two hours he had made changes, adjustments and likely completed and repaired the original installation, pointed out everything he did, left me with copies of his check sheets. I ask if he had a bill for me and was told the office would contact me...no credit card robbery on the spot! Andy was obviously more knowledgeable than anyone else who had touched the door. The service was professional, courteous, prompt and overall great. I will not make the mistake of calling anyone else in the future.
Thanks Andy and thanks Vortex Doors!
