How Often Do I Need Scheduled Maintenance?
It depends! If docks and doors are used multiple times a day, then we would recommend quarterly scheduled maintenance to prevent downtime. If docks and doors undergo moderate use, then bi-annual or annual maintenance would be fine as well. Either way, we highly recommend scheduled maintenance to anyone with docks or doors to be proactive and prevent repairs and accidents.
