Commercial Garage Doors in Eugene, Oregon

When your business depends on a commercial garage door, downtime is not an option. Crawford Windor has been the local name in commercial overhead doors since 1948, and after more than 75 years in Lane County we have worked on just about every kind of building here.

We are commercial door experts, handling sectional and rolling steel doors, full-vision aluminum, high-lift configurations, and electric operators. Our commercial customers include fire stations, warehouses, retail storefronts, service bays, and more.

We are locally owned and family operated, with our own crews. Not a franchise, not a chain. For ongoing service, see our repairs and maintenance page.

• Commercial Service Calls: $175/hour plus parts

Commercial doors are bigger, heavier, and more complex than residential ones, and that is exactly where knowledge counts. To give you a sense of scale, a recent install was a 16’ x 12’ coiling door built with heavy-duty 20-gauge slats, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds. That is not a job for a general handyman. It is a job for a crew that knows commercial doors inside and out.

We install and service commercial garage doors from Hörmann, with operators from LiftMaster, chosen for durability in high-cycle commercial use.

No two commercial openings ask for the same door, and picking the wrong one is an expensive thing to live with. Sectional steel doors are the workhorse — insulated or non-insulated panels that roll up and back along the ceiling, well suited to warehouses, shops and loading areas where there is room overhead.

Rolling steel doors, sometimes called coiling doors, wind up into a barrel above the opening instead. That makes them the practical answer where headroom is tight or the opening is unusually wide, and they are what you will find on most fire stations and municipal buildings.

Full-vision aluminum doors trade solid panels for glass. These are the ones on car dealerships, service bays, breweries and restaurants that want daylight and a view straight through the door.

High-lift and vertical-lift track is worth specifying when a building has the height for it. Lifting the door further up the wall before it turns back frees the floor and ceiling underneath, which matters in a shop where every foot of clearance is doing a job.

If you are not sure which of these suits your building, that is a normal question and a good one to work through before anyone quotes a price. For the largest openings and heaviest duty cycles, see our industrial garage doors page.

The door is only half of the system. A commercial garage door that cycles dozens of times a day needs an operator specified for that duty, and there is more than one format depending on the building.

Trolley operators mount to the ceiling and pull the door along the track, much like a residential unit but rated heavier. Jackshaft and wall-mount operators sit beside the door on the torsion shaft, which keeps the ceiling clear where headroom is already spoken for. Hoist operators are built for the biggest and heaviest doors, and can usually be run by hand chain if the power goes out.

Our commercial doors are mainly Hörmann and the operators are LiftMaster, both chosen for how they hold up under high-cycle commercial use. Whichever configuration a building calls for, the safety side matters as much as the drive — photo-eyes and reversing devices are what stop a heavy door on something, or someone, that should not be underneath it.

Commercial doors rarely fail without warning. They get noisy, they get slow, they start to bind, and then one morning they do not open at all and a bay is out of service until somebody can get to it.

Worth a call: grinding or scraping that was not there before, a door that hesitates or shudders on the way up, one that drifts back down after you stop it, gaps or creases in the slats and panels after a forklift or a truck has caught it, cables that look frayed or slack, or an operator that strains and runs hot on every cycle.

A door that has gone out of level along the bottom is another one to take seriously, because that usually means something has shifted rather than simply worn. None of these fix themselves, and every one of them is cheaper to deal with before the door stops than after.

Because we are locally owned with our own crews already working in the area, we can typically get to you faster than a company dispatching from out of town. There is no national queue to wait in. You are calling the people who will actually do the work.

Serving businesses throughout Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County, and into Linn County toward Albany.

What does commercial garage door service cost?

Commercial and industrial service calls are $175 per hour plus parts. Larger jobs — a new door, a replacement operator, a full opening — are quoted individually, because the price depends on the size of the opening, the type of door and what is already there. Call 541-342-2823 and we will put an estimate together.

What kinds of buildings do you work on?

Just about every kind in this area, after more than 75 years of it. Our commercial customers include fire stations, warehouses, retail storefronts and service bays, along with a long list of ordinary working buildings that never end up in a photo.

How is a commercial garage door different from a residential one?

Size, weight and duty cycle, mostly. One recent install was a 16’ x 12’ coiling door built with heavy-duty 20-gauge slats, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds. Commercial doors are also expected to cycle far more often than a door on a house, so the springs, cables, bearings and operator all have to be specified for that use and not just for the size of the opening.

Which commercial brands do you install?

Our commercial doors are mainly Hörmann, and the operators are LiftMaster. On the residential side we work with several other manufacturers as well.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Eugene and serve businesses throughout Lane County — Eugene, Springfield, Veneta, Junction City, Coburg, Creswell, Cottage Grove and Harrisburg — and into Linn County toward Albany. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
