Rollup Door Motor Service Los Angeles
Some people mistakenly assume that it is better to install the rolling door first, and in the future to add the electric motor. Although that in some cases they might be right, it is most times it is not like that. The installation of automated roll down Iron Gate is different than the installation of non-motorized Iron Gate, which will be operated manually. If the Iron Gate will be motorized, the spring we will use for the installment might be different from the sprung we will be using for a rolling door in Los Angeles which will be motorized in the future. Also in terms of costs. Installing the rolling Gate motor at the same time as installing the rollup door itself will cost less than to do the motor installation in steps.
Which Iron Gate motor to install?

No one will expect a central opener for a push-to-open roll down door which is being used once or twice, to fit a warehouse rolling door in Hollywood which is being used fifty times a day or more. The motor simply won’t last for long. Each Iron Gate require a different motor, and a qualified rollup doors installer in Los Angeles should be able to determine which one is the best operator for a specific steel door. The size of the rolling door (and the material the Iron Gate was made of – affect the weight of the curtain), make the difference between the different motors. Before installing new operator for a rolling Iron Gate, here are few things you should ask or tell the installer:

Why the rollup door motor got stuck?
Before we try to answer the question what is the reason the rolling door motor got stuck, we first like to tell you that even if it look like it is the operator itself can’t open up the Iron Gate, it does not mean that there is something wrong with the operator, You would be surprised to learn how many calls we get from store and businesses owners in Los Angeles who tell us that the operator is now working, and when we arrive and inspect the Iron Gate, we find that the operator is fine, and what broke is actually another part of the Iron Gate.
Let’s take for example a common rolling steel Gate problem like a rolling Iron Gate with Broken Spring. When that happen, it can be difficult and most times impossible to open up the door.
