Commercial Garage Door Openers in Dallas, TX
In a warehouse, loading dock, firehouse, or parking garage, the opener is the “engine” that keeps operations flowing. Unlike residential units that lift a 150‑lb door a handful of times a day, commercial garage‑door openers are built for doors that weigh 300–1,200 lb and cycle hundreds of times per shift. Choosing the wrong operator can shorten equipment life, void a fire rating, or even halt production. Supreme Garage Door Repair supplies, installs, and services the full range of UL 325‑compliant commercial openers across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

Selecting the Right Commercial Opener
Door Size & Weight – Measure width, height, curtain material, and verify counter‑balance.
Duty Cycle – Estimate daily cycles; > 60 cycles/hr requires continuous‑duty motor and oil‑bath gearbox.
Mounting Constraints – Check headroom, side room, and shaft diameter.
Power & Controls – Confirm available voltage (120 V single‑phase to 575 V three‑phase) and desired access (key switch, keypad, loop detector, smart phone).
Code & Fire Rating – Fire doors need a UL‑listed release device; parking structures may require NEMA 4 enclosures.
Our engineers perform a free on‑site assessment and provide a written specification so the opener you buy matches the door you have—and the business you run.

Commercial Garage Door Openers - FAQ
How often should a commercial opener be serviced?
High‑cycle operators should be inspected every 3 months; lower‑cycle doors at least annually. Service includes lubrication, limit‑switch check, chain tension, and safety‑device test.
Can I retrofit my existing door with a smart controller?
Yes. Logic‑5.0 and aftermarket IoT kits add Wi‑Fi, timer‑to‑close, and audit logs to most 2010‑plus motors.
What happens if the power goes out?
Chain‑hoist and gearhead models include manual release; jackshaft/trolley units can add battery backup or fail‑safe chain hoist for emergency egress.
Are commercial openers tax‑deductible?
Generally yes—treated as a capital improvement depreciable under Section 179. Consult your accountant for specifics.
