When it comes to Coquitlam garage door repair or replacement, there are various possibilities However, we propose a roll-up shutter door if the garage door you’re considering replacing is intended for commercial or industrial use.

This is a very typical garage door system that is present in the majority of top facilities and warehouses throughout the country. It has several benefits, which we shall cover in this essay. But first, let us define rolling shutter doors.

What Are Rolling Shutter Doors?

Rolling shutter doors are garage doors with numerous horizontal slats; slender metal bars are fastened together along their length rather than end to end (side by side).

The resulting long sheet of metal is rolled around a pulley. The complete assembly is positioned in a door area with the pulley’s two ends securely attached to the interior of the doorposts or pillars. The rolling shutter door opens and shuts in this manner, unlike ordinary doors that open from left to right and vice versa.

Often, the slats are composed of relatively thick steel or aluminum preventing intruders from breaking in.

How Does Rolling Shutter Door Work?

The operation of various types of rolling shutter garage doors may vary slightly. Their operating methodology, however, is identical.

Roller shutters are constructed from corrugated interlocking slats that assemble to form a sheet curtain. The grooves begin to flex automatically when the shutter is opened or raised, enabling the curtain to self-retract.

You can accomplish this manually via a shutter drum that drives a pulley to raise or lower the door with a chain or belt or remotely via remote control (or smartphone), depending on the configuration mode selected.

Maintaining Your Shutter Doors

Like every other mechanical structure you own, your shutter doors need to be maintained. Maintenance would increase its longevity and also ensure that it serves you better.

Any faults left unchecked can put you in danger.

  • Clean regularly

Dust and dirt can build up over time and prevent your shutter doors from functioning effectively. You can use a brush to clean the track at intervals to prevent obstruction.

You can also use a piece of cloth and soapy water to eliminate any grime that might have accumulated over time.

  • Use a lubricant

Always lubricate the rollers, bearing, and guide rail to prevent rusting and help the rolling mechanism run smoothly.

My old garage door opener failed on Saturday afternoon. I called Titan Garage Doors in Coquitlam and was amazed to... learn that they could have someone available to look at it that day. Technician Adam was at my door shortly after 6:00 pm. An hour and a half later, I had a brand new opener installed, the spring rebalanced, and door joints lubricated. I was very pleased with the prompt and professional service. Titan will be my “go to” for all of my garage door needs going forward.read more

One of our two, relatively new, garage door springs broke after about 5 years. So googled and found Titan Garage Doors... to fix it. They turned up same day within 1.5 hours to fix it. Alex, the technician was a super nice and super skillful guy, and it was obvious he had done the job countless times. He had to work in cramped conditions because the cars were struck in the garage, but he did a great job. The final price for two new springs was C$420 including tax. I'm only taking a star off because the person on the phone initially -- not Alex -- said a different price range; $150 to $250 ish. They must replace pairs of springs all day long... so why not just quote the real prices charged over the phone? Summary: Loved Alex. Hated the phone person in retrospect.read more

My garage door spring snapped. Called these guys first thing in the morning. When the mechanic arrived 30 minutes... later, I was anticipating getting ridiculous quote like those locksmith scam (paid $260 for 1 minute of job because locksmith knows you are desperate about getting locked out). Later I realized garage door repair isn’t the same as locksmith. I was given a reasonable quote for one hour of labour and it includes the price of the spring. After the mechanic got the door fixed, I was able to pay by credit card and was given a receipt. And on top of that, there is warranty for their repair work. I hope I don’t have to called them any time soon, but if I have to I will. Highly recommended.read more

Upon my approval of his price quotation, he went to work replacing the defective/failed part which I was pleased to find out that he carried in his vehicle.Very happy with the experience and highly recommend this technician and the company.read more

I would NOT recommend this company!We called Titan to come and do a service, maintenance and any necessary repair on... our garage door. The technician showed up, spent maybe 10 minutes at our place, balanced the door, took his $120 bucks and basically that was it. We asked if there was anything else that needed to be done and we were told no.Our installer arrived the next day and we were told that some of the rollers and hinges would need to be replaced prior to the installation of our new garage door opener. We were not told by Titan that any of this needed to be done.Titan returned the next day to give us a quote for the rollers and hinges... They quoted $40 dollars for each hinge, and $15 per roller. We have 12 hinges/rollers! At this rate, we'd be better off buying a whole new door!We had another company come in and replace only what was broken for a fraction of the cost and they did an amazing jobI would not recommend this company, unless you have money to burn and want to overspend!read more
