What Santa Monica garages and gates are up against
Everything metal in Santa Monica is fighting the ocean. Within a mile of the beach the marine layer carries salt every morning, and it settles on torsion springs, cables, rollers and the bottom of a steel door. Springs that last fifteen years inland fail in seven or eight here, cables fray at the drum, and the lower panel of a steel door rusts through from the inside. We stock galvanized and powder-coated hardware and treat every coastal job as a corrosion job first.
The housing north of Montana and in Sunset Park is 1920s to 1950s single-family, most of it with a detached garage on the alley. Alley garages have the narrowest openings in the city, no side-room for a standard track, and often a door that has been replaced with the wrong size. South of Wilshire and along the Pico corridor the city is apartments, and the call is a roll-up or slide gate on the building, or a parking-garage gate whose loop detector has failed.
Santa Monica also has some of the strictest noise and hours rules in the county, and residents notice a slamming gate or a rattling roll-up door. Quiet belt-drive openers, nylon rollers, and soft-close settings on gate operators are standard on our Santa Monica jobs.
