Commercial Jobs

Pictures above is the inner workings of a LiftMaster Commercial garage door opener. I know this may be boring to some people, but think about how important this opener is. We have put many of these commercial openers at many different locations such as Police Departments, Fire Stations, Prisons, City of Grove City, City of Columbus, Southwestern City Schools, and many more. These openers operate smoothly and for a number of years. On a Fire Station the first opener to stop working is the medic door because that is the most often used door on a Fire Station.

Pictured above is our commercial lift, we use this lift on all commercial jobs that are higher than a standard ladder can reach. We have invested in all of the equipment to do the job right the first time, we don't need to rent or borrow tools. Having the right tools is an important aspect of getting a job done. What would you think of our expertise if we came to your home and asked to borrow your tools to fix your garage door? That should be a bright RED flag that a person is not a knowledgeable repair person. You cannot fix anything without the right tools!

Multi-Branding of Garage Door Openers

Does the average consumer know what multi-branding is?

Multi-branding is when a corporation gains market space by making multiple brands of the same product. The largest advantage of multi-branding is gaining shelf space at a store. Another advantage of multi-branding is to satisfy the consumer that likes to try different brands. There are consumers out there that swear to a specific brand and will not switch. Do those consumers know that they have possibly purchased from the same organization under a different brand name?

The Chamberlain Group Inc. practices multi-branding by producing Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Craftsman, and True Value garage door openers. You can find Chamberlain brands in most major retail stores along side their other brands. Chamberlain brands are manufactured in the United States, and their largest competitor is Genie.

The Chamberlain brand garage door was established for the do-it-yourself consumer that wants to install their own garage door opener. The LiftMaster brand was established as a commercial brand you can only get from a garage door distributor. All of the Chamberlain brands are internally created equal, so you are getting the same quality from each opener you purchase.

Garage Kitties

Cats and garage doors do not mix well.......

The cats are cute, they need a dry place to stay, but what can they do to your garage?

Cats are naturally climbers, they can and will climb up into your rafters in your garage. The garage door opener is hanging from those rafters in the garage, so what do you think a cat can do to your opener? Mark has found instances of the cats peeing on openers, shorting the wires, and wreaking havoc on a garage door opener. The insides of the garage door opener doesn't consist of much but the motor, the power board, and the light bulbs. There are also wires running from the opener to the safety sensors, and wall buttons if your wall button is not wireless. Cats will sometimes chew on those wires. So your garage door could stop working or work intermittently.

What happens to a cat if the safety sensor are not aligned right or you have an opener made before 1998?

There is a good chance the cat will get crushed under the garage door if your safety sensor are not aligned correctly, are too high off of the ground, or if you have an old garage door opener. The older garage door openers did not have safety sensor on them, and this is one reason why safety sensor were invented. Small animals and children can be harmed by a garage door opener without safety sensors. I don't want to see any small animals or children get hurt from a garage door opener, so I suggest keeping your small animals indoors, having your old garage door opener replaced, and making sure your safety sensors are aligned correctly! Keep those garage kitties safe! 

Inside a Large Commercial Door

The picture above is of the Wilson Turf commercial garage door job. We are installing 6-18' x 14' garage doors on this building. The inside track is running along the roof of this garage. These garage doors are like moving walls. The garage doors are insulated doors which make them heavy, so if one of these doors were to be damaged and fall out of the track, it could seriously hurt someone. Is is important when you have a large commercial garage door that you do not run into it with equipment. The equipment can damage the garage door and cause the door to jack knife out of the track to hang above by the cables. However, the picture above is a new installation and we hope we don't have to come back anytime soon to repair these doors.

Commercial Garage Doors

Grove City Garage Door Inc. can do just about any job you ask us to! We are currently working on two big commercial jobs! Commercial jobs take time, patience, and the right equipment for the job!

Pictured here is a job we are doing for Wilson Turf, we are installing (6) 18' x 14' Clopay 3200 garage doors with LiftMaster commercial openers, and ceiling rise track. We are able to do this kind of work because we own our own vertical high lift. Having the right equipment for the job is important!

Garage Door Opener

Let's talk about your garage door opener today! There are many brands out there and at our house we have LiftMaster, Linear, and Chamberlain openers. The LiftMaster belt drive opener is on our main home, we also have LiftMaster on our large commercial doors, as well as Linear and Chamberlain out in our other garages. They are all reliable openers and have been installed for many years, of course the President of Grove City Garage Door lives here so he makes sure our doors are always in good working order! The joy of having your own garage door technician at home! My garage door guy tests out different doors and openers on our own home, so when we recommend something it is because we have used it ourselves!

Mark will recommend the belt drive LiftMaster or Chamberlain garage door openers to residential customers all day long. Theses openers last a long period of time, are reliable, and are quiet. I can tell you from experience that our garage door opener is quiet and you cannot hear it inside the house when the door opens and closes!

Check out some of the stats at our main website: Garage Door Openers

The garage door opener function is to push and pull the garage door up and down the track. The pushing and pulling is made possible by the garage door spring tension lifting the garage door. The light bulbs inside of your garage door opener can also effect the range of your garage door remote. We do not recommend using a CFL or LED light bulb because the range is severely shortened. You can get regular light bulbs at any store. The reason the CFL and LED bulbs shorten the range is because they interfere with the garage door signal. So if you are experiencing a shortened range, check your light bulbs.

We wouldn't put something on your homes we haven't tried ourselves first! I think this is the difference that sets Grove City Garage Door aside from all other garage door companies out there. Even Pat, Mark's brother and his partner, uses LiftMaster products on his own home. So if you have questions or concerns Mark and Pat have lots of experience with these openers and can diagnose your garage door opener problems over the phone. I can attest that Mark has answered many calls on Saturday and Sunday about openers, and helping people reset their remotes over the phone. You just can't get that kind of customer service anywhere! Mark always says he would rather fix it over the phone than charge a person for a service call if he can fix it over the phone!
