About Sullivan Precision Metal Finishing
Sullivan Precision Metal Finishing is a leading provider of metal finishing services specializing in precision vibratory finishing, shot blasting, and thermal deburring. Their Sullivan, Missouri facility operates under demanding conditions, where moisture and metal surfaces present unique challenges in maintaining equipment longevity and efficiency.
Customer Challenge
Sullivan Precision Metal Finishing’s facility experiences high moisture levels, damaging its garage door. Over time, the excessive humidity has led to rust and corrosion, affecting the door’s functionality and durability. They needed a moisture-resistant solution to withstand their working environment without frequent maintenance issues.
Our Solution
To combat moisture-related deterioration, Gateway Door & Contracting installed a doorLink 4401 sectional garage door equipped with the following:
- 13 ball-bearing sealed rollers for smooth, long-lasting operation
- Stainless steel cables to prevent rust and cable fraying
- Powder-coated Duramaster springs from Service Spring Corp. offer superior corrosion resistance
Beyond the installation, we provided Sullivan Precision Metal Finishing with a tailored maintenance plan to help them proactively prevent future failures and extend the lifespan of their new door.
Installation Timeframe

The new sectional garage door is rust-resistant, smooth-operating, and built to last, significantly improving the reliability of the facility’s access points. With the added benefit of moisture-resistant components, the new setup ensures enhanced durability and reduced maintenance.
