Repair the door and its hardware

We repair storefront entry doors, pivots, hinges, closers, panic hardware, locks and weatherstripping. The assessment includes the frame, threshold and any damaged door glass. When the framing and main components remain sound, targeted repairs can keep the existing entrance in service.

What the problem may be telling you

Door scrapes the threshold or frame

When the leaf starts dragging, the cause is often worn pivots, loose anchors, hinge movement, or frame alignment drift. Continued use can damage the threshold, stress the frame, and make the entrance harder to operate.

Door stops latching at close

If staff need to push, pull, or re-close the door to make it secure, the problem may be strike alignment, closer timing, or lock hardware wear. A missed latch can leave the entry unsecured after hours.

Door slams, leaks, or will not self-close

A failing closer can make a busy entrance unsafe, noisy, and difficult to control. It also often signals related wear at the pivots, latch points, or frame that keeps the door from shutting correctly.

Panic hardware or seals start failing

Loose panic devices, seized pivots, torn weatherstripping, and worn sweeps affect egress, conditioned air, and occupant comfort. These support parts often fail well before the whole opening needs replacement.

Look beyond the part that seems to fail

A missed latch can begin at the hinge, pivot or frame. A slamming door may need a closer adjustment, a replacement or work elsewhere in the opening. We inspect those connections before deciding what to repair.

Door glass can be assessed with the hardware. Repair depends on the condition of the frame, anchors and main door components.

Our full process
  1. Site inspection

    We inspect the door leaf, pivots, closer, frame alignment, latch, weatherseal, and any broken glass so we know whether repair is the right move.

  2. Repair plan

    You get a clear scope with parts, timing, and repair priorities, including code-aware options for high-traffic entries and occupied buildings.

  3. Complete the repair

    We adjust, replace, or secure the failed hardware and glass, coordinating access so your team can keep the opening usable when possible.

  4. Review the completed work

    We test swing, closing speed, latching, and safety function, then leave you with clear findings on what was repaired and what to watch next.

Questions
before you start.

Ask about your property
Can you repair my commercial door without replacing the whole opening?

In many cases, yes. If the frame, anchors, and major door components are still structurally sound, we can often repair pivots, closers, hardware, alignment, or glass without replacing the whole entrance system.

What types of commercial doors and hardware do you repair?

We repair storefront doors, aluminum entries, many heavy-use commercial doors, and related components like pivots, closers, hinges, panic hardware, locks, thresholds, and weatherstripping.

Do you offer after-hours service when a door will not secure?

Yes. Call when a damaged door creates an immediate security or safety problem. We can discuss securing the opening and the permanent repair it needs.

Can you repair broken glass in the door at the same time?

Yes, when the surrounding frame and door system are still good candidates for repair. We can inspect the glass, confirm the safety spec, and scope the door hardware repair together.

How often should high-traffic commercial doors be serviced?

Busy storefront and building entries benefit from regular inspection before the closer leaks, the pivot fails, or the latch stops engaging. Preventive maintenance helps reduce downtime and surprise emergency calls.
