Emergency Service Overhead Door Work Order

I have been dealing with Northern Dock for 20-plus years. I wouldn’t think of using any other dock door company. Best Service all around.”

Lee Rollo, Spaenaur Inc.
“The two technicians that came in were very helpful and had a great attitude while fixing our two most pressing issues. After they fixed the first door, I could tell they were tired but they stuck around to help us with another dock door and were able to fix it as well.”
PepsiKatie Campagnolo, Supply Chain Operations Associate Supervisor, Pepsi
“I would like to the NDS team for taking care of our service shop door issue. The door into the service shop wouldn’t close flush with the ground and would not close on its own without holding the button down. We greatly appreciate the level of service we have received from the team at NDS, and thanks to them we now have a fully operational shop door ready for the busy weekend rush.”
ToyotaAndrew Ryder, Parts Manager, Bolton Toyota

“I wanted to express my gratitude for your very prompt and professional assistance in repairing and servicing our broken overhead garage door. Your ability to provide immediate solutions to our needs went above and beyond expectations. I thank you and look forward to a long relationship together.”

“On behalf of the team at Policaro BMW and the Policaro Group, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for your quick response and action with respect to the damaged overhead door in the Service Department at our BMW facility. In addition to the repairs, you were also able to pinpoint the cause of why this happened, with respect to the proper operation of the door controls. Your instruction to myself and some of the team members at BMW was invaluable in highlighting to us the dos and don’ts of the proper operation of the door controls…hopefully we’ve all gained some knowledge from this and learned a lesson.”

BMWJoe Martino, Manager, Facilities & Construction, Policaro BMW & Policaro Group

“I find your Service department very easy to deal with, never an issue booking an appointment and the service people arrive quickly. Your Techs are great at answering my questions about what mechanical problems they find which is nice because I just like knowing what they found out of my own curiosity. They also do very clean work, which in the past with other companies, it looks like a mess when they leave. Overall, you guys do good work making sure our equipment is operational and safe.”

F. K. Machinery Ltd.Darren Butson, Service Technician, F. K. Machinery Ltd.

What Gets Measured Gets Done

Northern Dock Systems tracks key performance indicators (KPIs) during the entire process, from the time your phone call is picked up, to the time it takes the technician to reach your location, to completion times and to the time it takes our finance department to issue your invoice. We strongly believe what gets measured gets done more efficiently and quickly, which decreases our customers’ downtime and increases their productivity.

Response Times


We have optimized and implemented our dispatch systems (live updates, GPS tracking and technician schedules) to ensure that our response times are fast and accurate to give you the ease and comfort of knowing that someone is on their way to fix the issue.

First-Time Fixes


Our team of experienced technicians are equipped with the right knowledge, fully-stocked trucks, tools and support to make sure that the job is done speedily, properly and without unnecessary expenses on the first visit. 

Completion and Part Times


We believe that strong communication is key to any project. If your project requires a second visit or needs an uncommon part, we will track how long it takes to get the part in and for us to complete the project, while keeping you in the loop on the status.

24/7 Emergency Service

Getting You Back Up and Running Faster

Our certified field technicians arrive prepared onsite with fully stocked truck, the right tools, parts, digital manuals and expert knowledge to fix the issue on the first visit to minimize your facility’s downtime.

Northern Dock Systems has team members available 24 hours a day. We work around your business schedule on weekdays, weekends or after-hours. Never let a broken spring, door panel or operator prevent you from using your loading docks. We have team members across Canada to get you back up and running quickly. Our goal is to work with you on your schedule to get your facility back up and running faster.

A fully Canadian-based dispatch and service team, which are dedicated to servicing the local markets in Ontario, Alberta and BC.

Northern Dock Systems uses zoned dispatch locations across Canada. Using zoned dispatch locations allow technicians to reach your site faster during emergencies, preventing prolonged downtime and unnecessarily high travel costs.

Our dispatch team is always aware of where and what our technicians are doing. With GPS truck tracking and a live technician schedule board, our dispatchers can get the closest available technician to your location when you are in need of an emergency repair service.

 

Our technicians are trained to inspect and repair all types of loading dock equipment. From inspecting and lubricating hinges to adjusting spring tension, our detailed multi-point inspection sheets ensures your service is as thorough as possible. Also, we will give you a detailed report for your records for when auditors come by for their inspections.

Our emergency service team will keep you in the loop on the status of your call. You will receive email confirmations when we have: 

  • Accepted the call
  • Scheduled the call
  • Work order summary with pictures of the job completed
  • If the job requires a highly specific part, then we will give you a parts ETA.  

All our technicians are mentored, supported and supervised by a team of experts in the dock and door industry. They act as a second point of contact to give expert opinions.
