About this work
Some shops and ground-floor bays along US-1 and in South Dade close with a rolling steel curtain instead of a sectional. The curtain coils on a barrel above the opening. The visit is the barrel, the guides, the slats, and the hoist or jackshaft that turns them.
What is different from a house door
There is no torsion shaft across a residential header and no extension spring beside a horizontal track. Tension lives in the barrel. Guides take the place of vertical track. A bent guide and a tired barrel spring are not fixed with residential rollers.
What the note should say
Say whether the curtain is up, down, or stuck partway, and whether the operator is a hoist, a jackshaft, or a chain you pull by hand. Width and the side the motor sits on matter before anyone drives. A gate across a driveway is not this trade.
What this page will not pretend
Keys Door Co does not file building paperwork for the wall, and a curtain repair is not a wind label for the building. The work is the curtain assembly that is already in the opening.
A curtain is a different machine
The curtain is a set of steel slats that coil onto a barrel above the opening. Guides on the jambs keep the edges in line. Tension lives in the barrel, not in a torsion shaft stretched across a residential header and not in extension springs beside a horizontal track. When a curtain stops, the useful questions are whether it is up, down, or jammed partway, and whether the operator is a hoist, a jackshaft, or a hand chain. A residential roller kit will not repair a bent guide. A driveway gate is not this trade either. The visit is the curtain that is already in the opening.
What we will not file
Keys Door Co does not prepare building paperwork for the wall around a commercial opening, and a curtain repair is not a wind label for the building. If the barrel is tired or a guide has been hit by a vehicle, say so. Width and the side the motor sits on matter before the truck is loaded, because a missed barrel part on Big Pine is a different afternoon than the same miss in Florida City.
Common questions
Is a rolling grille the same visit?
No. An open grille is a different curtain. This page is the solid rolling steel door. Say which one you have.
Can the residential spring crew handle it?
Only when the truck is loaded for a barrel and guides. Tell us it is rolling steel so the visit is planned that way.
Is a rolling grille the same visit?
No. An open grille is a different curtain. This page is the solid rolling steel door. Say which one is on the opening.
