Doors & Docks
Commercial Door, Overhead Door and Loading Dock Services
Commercial doors are working assets. They protect building openings, support shipping and receiving, and absorb repeated use every day. When one stops working correctly, the effect reaches safety, workflow, security, and occupant experience.
Commercial Door Capabilities
Entry and man doors: Repair, replacement, adjustment, and maintenance for commercial entry doors and interior man doors.
Overhead doors and operators: Troubleshooting, repair, maintenance, and replacement for overhead systems.
Automatic doors and gates: Service for powered openings, operators, sensors, safety devices, and mechanical components.
Loading docks and levelers: Maintenance and corrective service for dock equipment.
Locks, keys, and door hardware: Support for mechanical access components, hardware condition, and facility keying.
Door surveys and asset inventories: Opening types, equipment, condition, usage, service history, and criticality documented to support preventative maintenance and lifecycle planning.
Preventative Attention for High-Use Assets
Doors and dock equipment absorb repeated cycles, impacts, weather, alignment changes, and component wear. A defined preventative program identifies conditions before they become an access or operational issue.
- Operational checks - Movement, alignment, hardware, operators, controls, and visible conditions reviewed on a recurring cycle.
- Safety-component observations - Visible concerns involving sensors, stops, edges, guards, and other system-specific components documented for appropriate follow-up.
- Weather and opening conditions - Deterioration at seals, thresholds, frames, and related components identified before it affects the building opening.
- Repair planning - Immediate corrective needs separated from recommended maintenance, component replacement, and larger capital considerations.
- Usage and criticality planning - Service prioritized around cycle frequency, traffic, shipping requirements, security role, and the operational effect of a failure.
Protecting the Entire Opening, Not Just the Door Panel
Reliable operation depends on the relationship among the door, frame, hardware, operator, tracks, springs, sensors, seals, dock equipment, and the surrounding building opening.
We evaluate those components together. Where credentials, readers, or access schedules are involved, our Integrated Controls team handles the technology scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should commercial overhead doors be serviced?
Service intervals are driven by cycle count rather than the calendar. A dock door cycling dozens of times a day needs attention far sooner than a rarely used service door.
What is a dock leveler?
A dock leveler is the adjustable platform that bridges the gap between a loading dock and a trailer bed, compensating for height differences so material handling equipment can move across safely. Levelers are high-cycle assets and a common source of loading-area downtime.
Does TDG handle both the door and the access control on it?
Yes. The Commercial Door team addresses the physical opening, hardware, and operator; the Integrated Controls team addresses readers, credentials, and access logic. Both run under one account.
