Attempting to open up iron roll-down shutter which is not electrical using the chain or a manual open iron door can be a nightmare. The nights are when we get the most calls for emergency electrical roll-doors installment and repairs. And the reason is that using the iron chain to open up or close as rolling gate can become impossible. Some gate owners in San Fernando Valley mistakenly assume that it is better to install the roll up door, and in the future to add the electric motor. Although that in some cases they might be right, it is not always like that. The installment of electrical roll down gate is different than the installment of manual one, which will be operated manually. If the gate will be connected to a motor, the spring we will use on a push up roll down gate might be different from the spring we will be using for a roll-door in San Fernando Valley which will be connected to electric motor in the future. Also in terms of costs: Installing the motor at the same time as installing the rolling gate itself will cost less than to do the motor installment in two parts.

Which rolling gate motor to install?

Each roll down gate in San Fernando Valley require different type of motor. No one will expect a center motor for a push up gate in San Fernando Valley which is being used once or twice a day, to fit a commercial roll up door in Manhattan Beach which is being used hundreds times a day or more. The motor simply won’t last for long. Each gate require a different motor, and a qualified rolling gates installer in San Fernando Valley should be able to determine which one is the best operator for a specific iron door. The size of the roll-door (and the material the gate was made of – affect the weight of the curtain), make the difference between the different motors. Before installing new operator for a roll-down shutter in San Fernando Valley, here are few things you should ask or tell the installer:

But before we begin, there is one important thing need to be clear: Not every commercial roll door motor can or should be fixed. Many times – especially when it is an old motor (12 years or more) - replacing the unit completely and install a new roll up operator will be the wisest decision.

Why the rolling gate motor got stuck?

Before we try to answer the question what is the reason the roll-door motor got stuck, we first like to tell you that even if it look seem as it is the door’s motor that can’t open up the gate, it does not mean that there is something wrong with the motor, You would be surprised to learn how many calls we get from store and businesses owners who tell us that the operator is now working, and when we arrive and inspect the gate, we find that the motor is fine, and what broke is actually another part of the commercial gate.
Let’s take for example a roll-down shutter problem like a roll-down shutter that its spring broke. When the spring break, it will be difficult and many times - if it is a heavy duty gate - even impossible to open up the shutter. Now even if it is an electrical roll-door, the operator will not be able to open the door since it doesn’t get the assist that the spring should provide it with.
The bottom line is that it might seem to you that an electrical roll-door is not working due to a problem with the motor, when it actually a problem with the roll-door itself. It can be a rolling gate in San Fernando Valley, or garage door in Los Angeles, you need the services of a professional gate service provider to solve the problem by repairing the door.

• If the roll-down shutter does not operate properly when it is being used manually, hire a local service provider in San Fernando Valley to repair it before adding and setting up a new gate motor. Installing new motor will not make the roll-down shutter work if there was a problem prior to the new motor set up. If the spring is weak, or if it has been a long time since someone greased the gate, you will need to take care of the problems first. You have to make sure that the shutter can operate normally when it is in manual mode. If it shows any signs of issues, if it is suddenly difficult to open up the gate, if the slats are damaged, or if there are broken parts that need to be replaced, all those issues are not going to disappear when you install the new operator. And you can even burn the new motor you recently set up.
• The cheap poor quality motors will turn into the most expensive since they do not last for long. Using an electric motor which is not the right motor for the gate is literally a waste of money, and can even be dangerous. Never use motor which is not specified by the manufacturer of the roll-door! Trying to save money by using the wrong motor usually end with spending much more in the future. When you invest in quality roll down gate operator you might be investing more money at the moment, but you will be saving a lot of money in the future when you will have a perfectly operating electrical roll-down shutter. It can be a commercial rolling gate, or a garage door opener in San Fernando Valley, quality is always the right way.
• Commercial rolling doors are not the place for DIY attempts! Don’t try to install the gate yourself or by using someone who isn’t qualified for the task. Setting up new rolling door operator is a task that require knowledge and tools that only service providers who installed and fixed roll up doors in San Fernando Valley can deal with.
• We go over it again: If rolling door is broken, it shouldn’t be used. Not manually nor with the electric motor. First you will have to take care of the issues with the door or the door’s mechanism, and only when the gate is operable manually it should be motorized.
