Customer stories: Garage doors, industrial doors & loading technology
Every day we save underground parking garages from constant traffic jams, logistics halls from standstill, and fire doors before DIY solutions. In this article, we'll show you three real-world examples from the Rhine-Main region – with clear problems, honest learnings and the solutions that ultimately made the difference.
1. Why real projects speak louder than any advertisement
Anyone can write product descriptions – but when 60 parties are waiting for a garage door, a loading station in food processing plant or the fire door is flagged by the inspector, Only one thing matters: working solutions .
That's exactly where we're on the road every day – with Tormeister24 behind us and Schweighöfer Tortechnik on the street. In this article, we'll take you through three customer stories that show... why expertise, spare parts and honest service belong together.
- A garage door that finally brings peace and quiet.
- A loading station that is once again running smoothly and reliably.
- A fire door that cleanly separates comfort and safety.
- Specific links to spare parts, seals & controls in the shop.
All cases are from everyday life – places, names and details have been partially anonymized. The problems are 100% real.

3. Why customer stories are so important for gates
3.1 What you don't see online
A product image never shows how a goal feels when it's running at 6 a.m. – or indeed No. Customer stories reveal what only technicians usually see: botched installations, Lack of maintenance, creative "makeshift solutions" and the relief when everything is running smoothly again.
3.2 What stories can do for you
- You recognize your own problem in a project.
- You can see which specific products helped.
- You can tell that behind Tormeister24 are real people with wrenches – not an anonymous platform.

4. Project 1: Underground parking garage door in the residential complex – when 60 parties are waiting
4.1 Initial situation
- Large residential complex in the Rhine-Main area, with a central sectional door.
- The gate was loud and jerky, with a partial light gap at the bottom.
- The property manager regularly receives complaints: "Gate is stuck," "There's a draft in the garage."

- On-site check of the complete system (rollers, springs, rail, seals).

- Retrofitting a suitable Gap seal for sectional doors on the ground.
The spare parts came from the shop, the installation was done by our own team – a perfect combination of online and service.

| problem | Solution | effect |
|---|---|---|
| Loud ride & jerking | Casters, hinges, lubrication | Quiet, smooth operation |
| Drafts & moisture | Magnetic gap seal | Less cold and dirt in the garage |
