This successful project highlights our ability to fix various garage door issues with precision and professionalism. Our attention to detail ensures superior craftsmanship and customer satisfaction in every repair service we provide.

New Rolling Door Installation for a Metra Station

The project began when a Metra railway station in Arlington Heights contacted us for a new rolling steel door installation. The door was to be used for their storage and logistical operations onsite. We ensured the door’s highest quality materials were used to guarantee durability and customer satisfaction. Our experienced installers, known for their efficiency and strong rapport with clients, meticulously followed a systematic and professional process to ensure everything was done right the first time:

Step 1: Onsite Measurement

Our team arrived promptly at the location to perform accurate measurements. Precision is vital in rolling door installations, especially in commercial environments like railway stations, to ensure the right fit for different door models. We thoroughly examined all wall clearances, headroom, and mounting surfaces.

Step 2: Custom Door Ordering – Seachy Model

Based on the measurements and client specifications, we ordered a CHI 6000 garage door custom fits their opening size. The selected model was made from durable galvanized steel and included a chain hoist mechanism for manual lift operations.

Step 3: Professional Installation

Upon delivery, our professional installer team returned for installation. We leveled the track supports using laser guides, secured the vertical guides to the concrete framing, and installed the barrel assembly above the opening. Professional installation is crucial to ensure the door’s longevity and functionality. Here, we used our tools to drill through holes into the building’s primary frame to ensure a robust attachment so the door functions properly and reliably.

Step 4: Spring Tensioning & Hardware Adjustment

We carefully wound the torsion springs using the correct number of turns, as recommended by the manufacturer. Our technicians installed sprockets, chain hoists, and bushings, ensuring every component was aligned and made from high-quality materials. The manufacturer may write at length, but in reality, the balance of the installed system must be spot‑on so that the workers using these doors don’t experience any discomfort when opening or closing them. This rolling door needs to operate extremely smoothly and not snag on anything.

Step 5: Lubrication and Final Inspection

To ensure long-term performance, we fully lubricated all moving parts, including rollers, shafts, and chains. Our attention to detail during the final inspection ensured that every component functioned properly. A final walkthrough with the station manager confirmed full functionality and safety. We agreed with the company to adjust and lubricate this door every six months, which will always benefit its performance.

Step 6: Project Completion and Client Satisfaction

The result? A perfectly functioning rolling door is now used for station storage and logistics. The client praised our speed, professionalism, and technical accuracy, ensuring our customers are fully satisfied with the project.
