HOW LOADING DOCK DOOR SERVICE WORKS
-
Call or Request a Site Survey
Describe your dock configuration, door type, and the issue or project. We schedule a no-cost site survey or dispatch emergency service within the hour for failures.
-
On-Site Assessment
Our commercial door specialist arrives, measures the bay opening, assesses pit depth, headroom clearance, leveler compatibility, and dock seal condition. We review your trailer fleet and cycle rate requirements.
-
Itemized Proposal
You receive a written quote covering door type, operator, dock seal or shelter, bumpers, vehicle restraint, and leveler integration. No hidden charges. Pricing confirmed before any work begins.
-
Installation and Commissioning
Certified technicians install the door system, set operator force and speed parameters, calibrate photo-eye sensors, test vehicle restraint interlock, and walk through operation with your dock supervisor.
EVERY MINUTE OF DOWNTIME HAS A PRICE
Dock Door Failures Stop Operations. We Stop Failures First.
A single failed loading dock door in a busy distribution center can cost $500 to $2,000 per hour in lost throughput, missed delivery windows, and idle labor. For facilities processing 50 or more trailers per day, the daily loss can exceed $10,000 when one bay goes down during peak shipping hours. That number is why our commercial service vehicles run fully stocked with springs, cables, panels, and roller assemblies for the most common Texas warehouse door brands.
Beyond downtime cost, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 requires that trailer movement be prevented when forklifts are operating inside. Dock doors that fail open leave your compliance posture exposed. We install and maintain vehicle restraint systems, interlock communication lights, and dock safety packages that satisfy OSHA requirements and protect your workers.
- Same-day emergency response for dock failures across Texas
- OSHA-compliant vehicle restraint and interlock systems
- Dock seal and shelter integration for energy savings up to 60 percent

I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What type of door is best for a loading dock bay?
It depends on your workflow and climate control needs. Sectional commercial doors (insulated, 20-gauge steel) are the most common choice for standard warehouse docks. High-speed roll-up doors reduce energy loss for climate-controlled facilities by minimizing open time. Vertical-lift doors are ideal when ceiling clearance is limited. Rolling steel security doors add after-hours protection. We assess your dock height, clearance, cycle rate, and climate control requirements and recommend the best match during a free site survey.
Are vehicle restraints required for OSHA compliance at loading docks?
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(k)(1) requires that powered industrial vehicles (forklifts) not be driven on loading dock trailers unless the vehicle is secured. While OSHA does not specify a restraint type, hook-style ICC bar restraints or wheel chock systems are the industry-standard solution. Our dock packages include vehicle restraint systems and the communication light kits (red/green signals) required for OSHA-compliant safe loading procedures.
How much does a commercial loading dock door cost?
Installed costs vary by type: sectional commercial doors run $2,500 to $5,500 for a 10x10 bay; vertical-lift doors run $4,000 to $8,000 depending on lift height; high-speed fabric roll-up doors run $7,000 to $14,000; rolling steel security doors run $3,500 to $7,000. Dock seal/shelter add-ons cost $800 to $2,200 per bay. A complete dock package with leveler, door, seal, bumpers, and restraint typically runs $9,000 to $20,000. We provide free on-site quotes with itemized pricing.
What is the downtime cost of a failed loading dock door?
In a standard warehouse operation, a single failed dock door can cost $500 to $2,000 per hour in lost throughput when trucks queue and loading crews stand by. Distribution centers processing 50 or more trailers per day can see daily losses exceeding $10,000 when a dock is out of service. This is why we offer same-day emergency response for commercial dock door failures and recommend quarterly preventive maintenance programs to catch wear before failure occurs.
What pit-style dock leveler do you recommend for high-cycle operations?
For high-cycle facilities (20 or more truck movements per day), we recommend hydraulic pit levelers rated for 30,000 pounds with a 6x8 foot platform. Push-button operation reduces operator fatigue compared to mechanical pull-chain units. Vertical storing levelers are the premium choice for temperature-controlled facilities because they seal the pit opening when not in use, preventing cold air loss and pest entry. We carry Rite-Hite, Blue Giant, and Kelley units and can specify the right model for your door height and forklift size.
Can you integrate a dock seal or shelter with an existing dock door?
Yes. Dock seals and shelters are retrofit-compatible with most commercial dock doors. Compression seals (foam-filled pads) work best with consistent trailer widths and project 12 to 18 inches from the building face. Flexible curtain shelters adapt to varying trailer sizes and project 18 to 24 inches. Energy savings of 40 to 60 percent of dock-area HVAC costs are typical. We install new seals and shelters alongside door replacements or as standalone retrofits to existing dock openings.
How often should commercial loading dock doors be serviced?
We recommend quarterly inspections for high-traffic docks (10 or more movements per day) and semi-annual inspections for moderate-use facilities. Each visit covers spring tension, cable condition, roller and hinge wear, track alignment, seal condition, operator force settings, photo-eye sensor calibration, and vehicle restraint function. Preventive maintenance reduces emergency call frequency by 70 percent or more and extends door system lifespan by 30 to 50 percent. We offer commercial maintenance contracts with priority dispatch and discounted parts.
