Episode Synopsis

This episode of The Deep Dive examines commercial entrances in high‑traffic cities, revealing how relentless vehicle impacts and environmental corrosion lead to failure. We discuss required standards (extra heavy‑duty, 16‑gauge galvanized steel), wind loading, material behavior, and the role of smart, forgiving door systems.
Listeners get concise, actionable advice: repair breached coatings immediately with high‑zinc compounds, use powder coatings, maintain seals and sensors, perform monthly balance checks and annual lubrication, and stop using any door with suspected structural damage. For complex installations or emergency repairs, always call certified professionals.

New York City is unforgiving—and no part of your business takes more daily abuse than your commercial door. In this eye-opening episode of Front Door Fails and Fixes, we uncover how extreme NYC weather and constant city traffic slowly destroy commercial entrances, leading to corrosion, misalignment, motor burnout, and expensive emergency repairs.
From winter salt that accelerates rust to delivery trucks that nudge door tracks out of alignment, we explain the hidden forces quietly damaging rolling steel doors, coiling grilles, loading dock doors, and full-view sectional doors across the city. You’ll hear real stories, industry facts, and expert insights on how moisture, wind loads, impact vibration, and heavy traffic flow create problems long before the door actually fails.
Most importantly, you’ll learn the simple steps every business owner can take—like post-storm seal checks, annual lubrication, and protective barriers—to prevent shutdowns and avoid costly repairs.
