What we fix — fast
- Pivot replacements
Bottom and top pivots for center‑hung and offset doors. Worn pivots cause sagging, scraping thresholds, and latch misalignment. We replace with heavy‑duty assemblies and set proper clearances. - Continuous and butt hinge replacements
Upgrade failing butt hinges to continuous geared hinges for high‑traffic openings, or replace in‑kind. Restores alignment, reduces door sag, and extends door life. - Door closers (surface & concealed)
Leaking oil, slamming, or not latching? We replace/adjust closers, set sweep and latch speeds, backcheck, and verify proper opening force. - Locks & exit hardware
Adams Rite style latch locks, hookbolts, deadlatches, deadbolts, electrified strikes, and panic/exit devices. We repair, re‑key, or replace and verify egress and accessibility. - Glass replacement & board‑up
Tempered, laminated, and insulating units. Emergency board‑up available; we measure and order the correct safety glazing and install to manufacturer and code requirements. - Thresholds, sweeps, and weatherseals
Replace worn thresholds, astragals, and sweeps to stop water and air infiltration and help doors latch reliably. - Automatic door operators
Troubleshooting of sensors and operators, replacements, and coordination with AAADM‑certified inspection when required. - Adjustments & preventative maintenance
Realign, re‑shim, and tune hardware to prevent repeat failures. Maintenance plans available for multi‑site portfolios.

Our storefront door service process
- Rapid dispatch & on‑site diagnosis. We confirm life‑safety and security first, then identify root cause — not just the symptom.
- Quote before work. Clear options for repair vs. replacement, with lead times where special‑order parts or glass are needed.
- Fix on the first visit when possible. Our trucks carry common pivots, closers, locks, thresholds, and seals to minimize downtime.
- Code and performance checks. We verify egress, hardware mounting heights, door/closer operation, and ADA reach/operability.
- Clean up & documentation. Photos and invoice with parts listed; maintenance recommendations to prevent repeat issues.
Accessibility, life‑safety, and hurricane considerations
- Egress & panic hardware. Doors serving certain occupancies or occupant loads require panic/fire exit hardware. We verify your opening’s requirements and provide compliant devices where needed.
- Accessibility. We confirm hardware is operable without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting; check mounting heights; and set closer speeds/opening forces with accessibility in mind.
- Safety glazing. Storefront door lites and sidelites are hazardous locations and must be safety glass (tempered or laminated). We supply the correct type and permanently labeled glass.
- Windborne debris / impact zones. In coastal Florida, exterior glazed doors are subject to specific design pressures. We can provide impact‑rated or non‑impact assemblies as required by your jurisdiction and project documents.
