Door will not close? Floor too soft to load?
A door that cannot latch or a floor that flexes can take a trailer out of service. We assess hinges, rods, tracks, seals, boards and support structure where the trailer sits, then explain whether the damage is a hardware repair or a larger structural job.
Confirm availability and service-call rate before dispatch.

What does door or floor repair cost?
Doors are priced by what bent. A hinge, a latch, a lock rod or a seal is hardware and it is quick. A rear frame that has been pushed out of square, or a roll-up section with a broken panel, is straightening and fabrication and it is quoted after we see it. Floors are priced by the square foot and by what is under them.
| Factor | Why it moves the number |
|---|---|
| Hardware or structure | Hinges, latches, rods and seals are parts on the truck. A bent frame or a torn panel is fabrication. |
| Swing or roll-up | Roll-up doors have sections, rollers, tracks, springs and cables. More parts, more ways to fail, more to source. |
| Is the frame square | If the rear frame has been pushed, no door hardware will seat until the frame is pulled back. That is the job that decides the price. |
| Floor area and what is under it | Boards are one thing. Cross members that have rusted through underneath are another, and you do not know until the board comes up. |
| Wood or aluminium | Hardwood laminate, plank and aluminium floors are three different repairs with three different material costs. |
| Reefer or dry | An insulated floor and a sealed door on a reefer are more work than the same repair on a dry van — the box has to hold temperature after. |
| Roadside or at your yard | A scheduled dock visit may reduce roadside travel and setup costs; confirm the quote for your unit. |
We quote before we start and we do not begin work you have not approved. We do not publish ranges here, because the same job varies too much by trailer, damage and access — call and we will give you a number for your unit.
Why won't the door close?
Common swing-door causes include a sprung hinge or a frame that is no longer square. Roll-up faults can involve a jumped roller, broken spring or bent track. The symptom helps us plan the inspection; the actual damage, access and parts determine the repair time.
| Symptom | Cause | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Swing door drags or will not latch | Sprung or worn hinge, dropped door | Hinges replaced or rebushed, door rehung and squared |
| Both doors close but leave a gap | Rear frame pushed out of square at the dock | Frame pulled and checked, seals replaced, doors reset |
| Lock rod will not turn or seat | Bent rod, broken cam or keeper | Rod, cam and keeper replaced — usually same visit |
| Roll-up jams halfway | Roller out of track, bent track, broken hinge between sections | Track straightened, rollers and hinges replaced |
| Roll-up is heavy or slams down | Broken or weak counterbalance spring, frayed cable | Spring and cable replaced — do not run it like that |
| Daylight through the seal | Torn or compressed door seal, missing sweep | Seals and sweeps replaced around the full opening |
| Floor soft, boards moving under the forklift | Rot or delamination, often with rusted cross members below | Boards cut out and replaced, cross members inspected and repaired |
Do not force a swing door that will not latch. The frame is telling you something, and a forced latch turns a hinge job into a frame job.
How do I know if the floor is going?
Walk it and watch the boards. If they flex, if a screw turns without biting, or if the wood is dark and soft at the edges near the doors, it is going. Get underneath with a light: cross members that are rusted thin are the part that actually fails, and the boards on top hide them until a forklift finds out first.
On horse and livestock trailers it is worse, because the damage comes from underneath the mats and is not visible at all until it is serious — see what we look for in Southwest Ranches. A soft floor is also an inspection defect; see DOT annual inspections.
Where this work comes from in Broward
Door damage follows tight docks: the retail bays off Federal Highway in Hallandale Beach, the older warehouse blocks in Oakland Park, and the container yards at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. Floor work follows age and load — the distribution fleets in Pompano Beach and the horse properties in Southwest Ranches.
