Burnaby Industrial Door Maintenance and Service Records
Scheduled service for overhead and loading dock doors at Burnaby warehouses and plants, with a written history kept for each door.
The short version
Our Burnaby industrial door maintenance programs put each warehouse and dock door on a regular visit cycle, typically two to four times a year for busy doors. We lubricate, check springs, cables, rollers, hinges and track, test balance and the safety reverse, and inspect seals. Heavy rain in Burnaby shows up gaps in bottom seals quickly, so seals get extra attention. Every door is written up, and work is planned around shifts.
- Rain rises with elevation in Burnaby, so sites near Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain see more seal wear
- Heavy rain exposes worn bottom seals fast, and we check them on every door
- Written records per door give insurers and landlords what they ask for
- Under an hour per door for most visits, with one door out at a time
Records first: knowing the state of every door
A common starting point for Burnaby facility managers is a building full of doors and no idea when each was last serviced. Our first round of visits fixes that. Each door gets a written entry with its condition, what we adjusted, what is wearing and what needs a quote.
From then on, every visit adds to that history. When an insurer or landlord asks for door maintenance records, you have them. When budget season comes, you can see which doors are due for springs, rollers or seals in the next year instead of guessing.
Rain, slopes and bottom seals around Burnaby
Rainfall in Burnaby rises with elevation. Sites up toward Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain stay wetter and cooler than those on the South Slope down by the Fraser. Heavy rain is when gaps in a bottom seal show up, usually as water running across the floor inside the door.
Sloped approaches add wear to the bottom edge, and a door that does not meet the floor evenly lets water in at one corner. We check seal contact on each visit and note the doors where it is getting worse. Cold winter mornings also bring a rise in spring breaks, which is why springs are on the list every time.
What each Burnaby visit covers
We book visits around your shifts and shipping windows and take one door out at a time. On each door we lubricate moving parts, check springs, cables, rollers, hinges and track, test balance and the safety reverse, check the photo eyes and inspect seals.
Sites around Lougheed, Brentwood, Edmonds and the South Slope are all covered, along with nearby New Westminster, North Vancouver, Vancouver and Surrey.

Common questions
- We have no service history for our doors. Where do we start?
- With a first round of visits. We go through every door, write up its condition and flag what needs repair, with a quote. That becomes the baseline record for each door.
- Can the records go to our insurer or landlord?
- Yes. Each door is written up on every visit, so you have a condition and repair history to share with insurers, landlords or for budgets.
- Water comes in under one of our doors when it rains hard. Is that a maintenance item?
- It often is. A worn bottom seal or a door that no longer meets the floor evenly lets water in during heavy Burnaby rain. We check seal contact and quote a fix before doing anything.
- Do you test the safety reverse and photo eyes?
- Yes, on every door at every visit. These are often never tested between breakdowns, and they are part of our standard checklist.
- How many visits a year does a busy dock door need?
- Two to four is typical. The more a door cycles, the more often it should be seen.
