Warehouse doors get a lot of wear and tear, and impaired or out of service doors are not a rarity on most loading docks. In a lot of cases, doors are struck by lift trucks. The dock is a chaotic, congested area, and doors are regular casualties of forklifts that have to snake through obstacles and pedestrians in a constrained area.

Malfunctioning or compromised doors on your loading dock are not only a hassle, they can also be extremely costly to your warehouse operation. When you're unable to operate a door, it can result in backups and lengthy detention times while a bay is out of service. At a busy distribution center, every hour a door is out of service results in reduced efficiency. Getting dock bays back in service quickly is crucial.

Incorrectly sealed doors can also lead to substantial energy loss, especially in environmentally managed and cold storage buildings. Each dock door opening is a massive escape hatch for conditioned air, and a way in for precipitation, wind gusts and harsh conditions from the outdoors. When a door is damaged or difficult to open or close, it often tends to stand open when the dock gets active.

Doors that are not properly closed can likewise allow rodents and various other vermin into your facility, leading to product damages and remediation struggles. In addition, broken doors can present a considerable security hazard, providing trespassers easy access to your warehouse after business hours.
