Warehouse doors take a lot of mistreatment, and malfunctioning or inoperable doors are all too common on many loading docks. In a lot of cases, doors are damaged by lift trucks. The dock is a hectic, congested location, and doors are frequent casualties of forklifts that have to snake through obstacles and pedestrians in a tight space.

Malfunctioning or broken doors on your loading dock are not just a nuisance, they can also be extremely expensive to your warehouse operation. When you're unable to operate a door, it can lead to back-ups and lengthy detention times while a bay is out of service. At a busy warehouse, every minute a door is out of service results in reduced productivity. Putting dock bays back online quickly is vital.

Incorrectly secured doors can also result in significant energy loss, especially in environmentally controlled and cold storage buildings. Each 8x10 dock door is a huge escape hatch for conditioned air, and an entry point for precipitation, wind and extreme temperatures from the outdoors. When a door is damaged or difficult to open and close, it tends to remain open when the dock gets busy.

Doors that are not properly closed can also allow mice and other vermin into your facility, causing product damage and extermination work. Furthermore, damaged doors can pose a significant security threat, offering trespassers easy access to your warehouse after business hours.
