What we do
Our services in Fort Lauderdale
Stainless and coated hardware as standard
On the barrier island and along the canals we fit stainless or coated hinges, rollers and bottom brackets as a matter of course, because standard parts will be back on the fault list within a few years.
Openers that survive the salt air
LiftMaster units with sealed boards and battery backup, mounted and wired for a garage that sits a few hundred feet from salt water, with myQ so you can check the door from the boat.
170 mph approval for Broward
Fort Lauderdale is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone at 170 mph. Every door we install carries a current Florida product approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for that pressure, and the permit goes through the city.
Marina, boatyard and warehouse doors
Rolling steel and sectional doors for the marinas and boatyards along the river and the warehouses off I-95 and State Road 84, including stainless 316 curtains where the door faces open water.
Tune-ups that start with the rust
Our 25-point service on a waterfront door begins with the hardware closest to the opening, because that is what corrodes first. Balance, lubrication and a written note of what will need replacing next.
Why CMC
Why Fort Lauderdale homeowners choose CMC
Canal-side doors are a corrosion job
Within a few hundred feet of salt water the springs, cables, drums, hinges and roller stems corrode years before the panels look tired. We quote coastal doors with galvanised cable and sealed bearings as standard, because the cheap version comes back.
The opener is usually the second call
Salt reaches the rail, the chain and the travel limits as well. A door that has been fighting corroded hardware for a season has had the opener overworking to move it, so it is worth looking at both on one visit rather than paying twice for the drive out.
Approved for 170 mph
Every door we install in Fort Lauderdale is rated for the Broward high velocity hurricane zone, and you get the approval paperwork with the invoice.
A year on the work, with the corrosion allowed for
You get a full year on the workmanship, plus the maker's own cover on the door and the opener. Within a few hundred feet of salt water we specify hardware for that exposure rather than the standard set, because a warranty is worth little if the parts were never going to last the year.

What catches people out
