Why do commercial doors fail more in Buffalo winter?

Buffalo winter works on a door from several directions: cold thickens grease and closer fluid so the door drags, road salt corrodes tracks and hardware, ice jams the moving parts, and wind loads the door face. Together these make winter the peak season for commercial door failures. A-24 Hour Door services doors with this Buffalo pattern in mind.

What is the best time to service a commercial door in Buffalo?

Fall, before the cold sets in. A pre-winter visit that greases the moving parts, adjusts the closer and operator for the cold, checks the salt-exposed tracks and hardware, and clears developing ice heads off the mid-winter breakdown. A-24 Hour Door provides this seasonal service across Buffalo and Erie County alongside its 24/7 emergency work.

Can ice really jam a commercial overhead door?

Yes. Ice builds along thresholds and in the channels and pockets the door's parts run through, and an iced door binds or tears when the operator forces it. A curtain frozen to its channels can rip when driven up. A-24 Hour Door checks the threshold, channels, and bottom of the door for ice as part of Buffalo winter service.
