Serving New York City, NY and nearby towns
With large seasonal temperature swings in New York, track brackets and hinge screws work loose over time, and a loose track is the most common reason a door rubs, binds or comes off its rollers.
Close to the coast, salt air speeds up corrosion. Galvanized or coated springs, nylon rollers and stainless hardware hold up better than bare steel.

Cornell Cookson Rolling Steel Door Repair: frequently asked questions
How much does Cornell Cookson rolling steel door repair cost in New York City, NY?

Can you do Cornell Cookson rolling steel door repair the same day?
Often, yes. When a technician is available we can usually come the same day, and common parts are carried on the truck. Doors that won't close or have a broken spring are treated as priority calls, and emergency service is available.
Is Cornell Cookson rolling steel door repair covered by a warranty?
Our work comes with a 90-day labor warranty on repairs. New parts and doors also carry the manufacturer's warranty, and Cornell Cookson warranty terms vary by product and age. Ask for the warranty details in writing with your quote.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Our technicians are insured, and where New York or New York City requires a contractor license for garage door work, the job is done under that license. You're welcome to ask for proof when you book.
Should I repair or replace my commercial door?
A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about 50% of a replacement, or the commercial door is near the end of its life, replace it. Commercial doors are rated by cycles. If the door has reached its rated cycle life, has several damaged sections, or parts are no longer made, replacing it is often cheaper over the next few years. Springs are the exception: a broken spring is always replaced, never repaired. Our free repair vs. replace calculator can help you compare.
