When to call about commercial door repair

These are the commercial door repair faults we are called out to most often in Magnolia Springs. If you recognise one, the underlying cause is usually the second half of the line.

  • Rust at the bottom of a steel doorWater sitting at the threshold; the door bottom is rotting out.
  • The door swings past the frame and hits the wallNo stop fitted, or a failed backcheck in the closer, and it will damage both eventually.
  • The door drags on the floorHinges have worn or torn out under the weight of a heavy door.
  • The frame anchors have loosened in the masonryRepeated heavy use transferring load into fixings that were never sized for the traffic.
  • The astragal on a pair has bent outwardRepeated forcing of the inactive leaf, usually because the flush bolts are seized.
  • The door has dropped out of square in the frameHinge failure or building movement, and it stops the door sealing and latching.

Magnolia Springs conditions and commercial door repair

Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.

Humidity swells wood commercial doors and rusts the internals of hardware on doors that are propped open for ventilation, which is very common in kitchens and back-of-house areas.

Salt air rusts hollow metal doors from the bottom edge up and corrodes the internals of closers and exit devices, so coastal commercial doors need hardware finishes and maintenance intervals that inland buildings can get away with ignoring.

None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.

Local factors we account for in Magnolia Springs: sustained humidity and salt air — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Our commercial door repair process

  1. Secure the opening firstIf the door will not lock, that gets addressed before anything else, even if the full repair needs a return visit.
  2. Assess door, frame and hardware togetherOn commercial openings the fault is rarely in one component. Closer, hinges, frame and floor all interact.
  3. Work around your hoursWhere the job allows it we schedule outside trading, because an entrance out of service during business hours costs more than the repair.
  4. Specify to the environmentKitchen, loading bay and customer entrance are three different specifications, and we fit to the one in front of us.
  5. Adjust for code and accessibilityOpening force, closing speed and latching all get set to the requirements the door has to meet.
  6. Document what was doneProperty managers need a record of what was repaired and what is coming due. Coastal jobs get stainless or coated fixings as standard, since anything else here is a return visit waiting to happen.

What affects the cost of commercial door repair in Magnolia Springs

What a commercial door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:

  • the type of door: hollow metal, aluminum storefront or wood
  • whether the frame needs repair as well as the door
  • the number of openings serviced in one visit
  • hardware grade and whether it is fire-rated
  • access control components on the opening

Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Magnolia Springs.

Commercial door repair in Magnolia Springs: questions we get asked

How fast can you get a commercial door secured?

Securing the opening is the priority, and it is usually same-day for Magnolia Springs businesses. Full repair may need parts ordered, but you should not be left with an opening you cannot lock overnight.

Why does our hardware keep failing when the house across the street has hardware that lasts forever?

Cycle count. A busy Magnolia Springs storefront door might see more use in a month than a residential front door sees in a year. Grade 1 commercial hardware exists for exactly this reason.

What causes rust at the bottom of our steel doors?

Water standing at the threshold. In Baldwin County that is usually drainage at the entrance or a failed sweep, and the door bottom can often be rebuilt rather than replacing the whole leaf.

Do you service fire-rated doors?

Yes. Fire doors have specific requirements for gaps, closing, latching and hardware, and they are the doors most likely to fail inspection because someone propped them or replaced hardware with the wrong parts.

Can you make all our doors work on one key?

Yes. Keyed-alike or master key systems are straightforward to set up and make a real difference for Magnolia Springs businesses with multiple entrances and staff turnover.

Our back door will not latch unless someone pulls it. Is that serious?

It is a security failure and often an insurance issue. A door resting closed but not latched is not locked. It is usually a closer or hinge adjustment, and it should be dealt with quickly.
