What We Offer

Turnkey Installation & Replacement

Load calculations, bracket fabrication, wiring, and start-up—all handled by factory-trained techs. We remove outdated motors, balance the door, and test every safety circuit before sign-off.

Retrofit Automation Upgrades

Add hoist or jackshaft operators to manual doors, integrate timer-to-close logic, or connect to building access systems without replacing the entire door assembly.

24/7 Operator Repair

Fault codes, clutch failures, or damaged gears can grind logistics to a halt. Our stocked service trucks restore operation fast across Southeast Michigan—and beyond for contract clients.

Planned Maintenance

Quarterly torque checks, photobeam alignment, and control-panel diagnostics keep operators running safely and extend service life. Digital reports rank issues so you can plan budgets.

How Our Process Works

Our Installation Process

  • Step 01

    Site Assessment & Load Analysis

    We measure door weight, cycle frequency, and electrical service to size the right horsepower and drive type.

  • Step 02

    Proposal & Control Options

    Choose from soft-start inverters, battery backup, Wi-Fi control, and interlocks with dock levelers—all detailed in a transparent quote.

  • Step 03

    Scheduling & Coordination

    Install is timed around production windows—nights, weekends, or shutdowns—to avoid bottlenecks.

  • Step 04

    Certified Installation

    Crews mount brackets, run conduit, program limits, and complete a UL 325 safety test and NFPA 80 drop test where required.

  • Step 05

    Operator Training & Turnover

    Your team learns daily visual checks, manual release procedures, and keypad programming. Digital manuals and warranty docs included.

  • “The technicians were ontime and efficient. They diagnosed my problem and handled it in a satisfactory manner.”
    Anita S.
  • “After several failed Google searches and dozens of calls to local area garage door servicers and suppliers that could not get the garage door part I needed, Altech came up on the list. A wonderful, friendly woman answered the phone (I didn’t have to be called back like other places) and within minutes Doug was able to secure me the 16’ weatherstrip seal retainer for my 1970 garage door. The price including delivery was less than the two other places that only had a similar and not exact item. And I wasn’t going to have to buy four 4’ pieces in order to have them shipped. Doug and his Altech associate delivered the retainer, had pre-cut away the ends to allow for clearance of the bolts (I hadn’t even thought about that) and even brought screws which was all so kind and thoughtful. Communication, friendliness, professionalism, and the ability to get the exact part my obsolete, old garage door needed are just some of the numerous reasons why I can’t recommend Altech enough. With some faux wood staining and decorative magnets, that old garage door is worthy of the new retainer from Altech!”
