Thermacore® is the premier line of insulated doors available today. Thermacore® Series commercial doors are an ideal choice for buildings requiring the highest thermal efficiency levels and air infiltration. Thermacore® insulated doors are made with continuous foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation and roll-formed, hot-dipped galvanized steel construction, which provides superior thermal efficiency, exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, and proven durability.

Its specially designed track and heavy-duty fixtures ensure a tight and reliable fit.

Understanding Commercial Operators

The Basic Mechanics

Commercial door operators, also known as garage door openers, operate using a system of components that work together to control the movement of the garage door. These components ensure safe and controlled commercial garage door operation, with variations available in different models and brands for added security, convenience, and durability.

Motor: Powers the door’s movement.

Drive Mechanisms: Common types include chain drives (durable but noisy), belt drives (quiet), and screw drives (low maintenance).

Trolley and Rail: Transport the door during operation.

Safety Sensors: Emit an invisible beam to reverse door motion if an obstacle is detected.

Remote Control: Allows convenient door operation from a distance.

Wall Console: Offers additional control and often includes a locking feature.

Limit Switches: Set door open and close positions.

Safety Release Mechanism: Enables manual operation during power outages or malfunctions.

Control Circuit: Manages component communication.

Remote Receiver: Receives signals from remote controls.

The Role of Controllers

Controllers interface users and the garage door opener system, providing safe, convenient, and customized operation. Key functions and roles of controllers in commercial garage door operators are:

User Interface: Controllers allow users to interact with the garage door opener system. They typically include buttons, keypads, or touch screens that allow users to send commands to the opener, such as opening or closing the garage door.

Remote Control: Many commercial garage door operators have handheld remote controls or keychain remotes. These wireless devices communicate with the opener via radio signals, enabling users to operate the door from a distance, such as when approaching the garage in a vehicle.

Wall-Mounted Control Panel: Controllers often include a wall-mounted control panel installed inside the garage. This panel allows users to operate the garage door from within the garage itself. It may also have additional functions, like controlling interior lights or locking the door.

Security Features: Controllers can incorporate features like rolling code technology. This technology generates a new access code each time the remote control is used, enhancing security by preventing code theft or duplication.

Programming and Settings: Controllers may provide options for programming and adjusting settings related to door operation. Users can set parameters like door travel limits, automatic closing delays, and more to customize the opener’s behavior.

Safety Controls: Controllers often temporarily include buttons for overriding safety features, such as during maintenance or testing. However, these features should be used with caution and only when necessary.

Locking Function: Some controllers offer a locking feature that prevents the garage door from being opened from the outside. This feature enhances security and is especially useful when the garage is unused.

Diagnostic Information: Advanced controllers may provide diagnostic information about the opener’s status and any issues detected. This information can help users or service technicians identify and address problems promptly.

Compatibility: Controllers are designed to work seamlessly with specific commercial garage door operator models. Ensuring compatibility between the controller and the opener is essential for proper functioning.

Features to Look For

Remote Monitoring

Remote monitoring in commercial door operators uses advanced connectivity like Wi-Fi or cellular technology to enable users to oversee and control their garage doors remotely via dedicated mobile apps or software on their devices. It provides real-time information about the door’s status, allowing users to check if it’s open or closed, receive alerts for specific events, and even remotely control the door’s operation for added security and convenience. Some systems include integrated security cameras, user management features, and integration with other security systems for a comprehensive solution. Remote monitoring enhances security, offers convenience, and ensures business owners and facility managers peace of mind.

Battery Backup

Battery backup in commercial door openers ensures uninterrupted operation during power outages. It maintains security, convenience, and safety by allowing normal garage door functionality when the main power source is disrupted. This feature is important for businesses that rely on continuous access, security, and smooth operations during electrical failures or emergencies, ensuring peace of mind and operational efficiency.

Horsepower Ratings

Horsepower ratings for commercial garage door operators indicate the motor’s power and lifting capacity. Typically ranging from 1/2 to 1 1/2 horsepower, higher ratings are suitable for heavier and larger doors, while lower ratings work well for lighter doors. Selecting the right horsepower ensures efficient and reliable door operation, preventing strain on the motor and ensuring long-term durability for your commercial needs.

Repair and Replacement

If your garage door opener malfunctions, our dedicated service crew can quickly inspect and resolve the problem. We provide repairs on all makes and models of garage door operators and openers.
