An accordion door is a folding gate that stacks at the side of the opening when the business is open. For other grille types, see security grilles. For the full service across the city, see accordion security door repair in Ottawa.
The most frequent complaint we hear is about locking. The gate closes, but the key will not turn, the bolt will not reach the receiver, or the gate has to be pushed and lifted before it will lock. Most of the time the lock itself is fine. The gate has sagged, the receiver post has shifted on the wall, or the lead post has been bent by being pulled too hard.
We check the alignment first, then repair the cause: replacing worn pivot hardware or rollers so the gate sits at the right height, re-anchoring the receiver post, straightening the lead post, and only then replacing the lock if it is worn or damaged.
A gate that opens every morning and closes every night takes a lot of cycles. Staff often push it from one end instead of guiding it from the lead post, which racks the gate and wears the rollers on one side. If your gate has become noisy, jerky or hard to start moving, it is usually telling you the rollers or the top track need attention before something breaks.
Some Orléans units have exterior gates or gates in open vestibules where wind carries snow and salt into the bottom track. Clearing and checking that track, and making sure it drains, prevents a lot of winter damage. When ice is a recurring problem, we can discuss whether an interior-mounted or top-hung gate would work better for the entrance.
For a new accordion gate we measure the opening and the stacking space, check what the head and floor can carry, and confirm how the gate will be used day to day. A gate across a door that serves as an exit must be fully open whenever the business is in use, and we plan the installation around that requirement.
