New Brockton sits in Coffee County, and our work here runs from Main Street out past the New Brockton depot, with Enterprise and Elba close enough that we are usually in the area anyway.
New Brockton has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.
Grit accumulates in the bottom pivot and the threshold of an aluminum entrance and grinds the bearing surface, and on a storefront that sees hundreds of cycles a day that wear happens quickly.
Sun on a south or west facing storefront expands the aluminum through the afternoon and degrades the weatherstrip and glazing gaskets, so the door fits differently at closing time than it did at opening.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a New Brockton summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in New Brockton: blowing sand and sun and heat load — typical of the Wiregrass.

- Start at the pivotAlmost every storefront complaint traces back to the top or bottom pivot. That is where we look before touching the closer.
- Test the closer on its ownDisconnecting the arm tells us instantly whether the door is heavy or the closer is failing. They need different work.
- Secure before you finishDeadlatch function comes first, because a shop that cannot lock its front door cannot close. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
- Reset and square the doorPivots set, door squared in the opening, latch engaging cleanly without lifting or pulling.
- Set the closer to codeOpening force and closing speed adjusted for accessibility and for the actual traffic through the door.
- Work to your scheduleWe plan around trading hours so the entrance is not out of service during business.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in New Brockton: questions we get asked
How often should storefront doors be serviced?
For a busy New Brockton entrance, once or twice a year. Pivots and closers wear gradually, and adjusting them before they fail is far cheaper than an emergency call when the door will not latch.
Why is our door so hard for customers to open?
Usually the closer has been cranked up to force a misaligned door to latch. That is treating the symptom. Fix the alignment and the closer can go back to a comfortable setting that still latches.
Can you fix the door so it does not slam on customers?
Yes. That is closer adjustment, and it also needs to meet accessibility requirements for opening force. A properly set closer should let a customer through comfortably and still latch the door every time.
Do you work on pairs of doors and automatic entrances?
Yes, both. Pairs need coordinated alignment so the astragal seals and both leaves latch, and we service automatic operators as well.
How much does it cost to repair a storefront door versus replacing it?
Repair is dramatically cheaper. Aluminum storefront systems are designed with serviceable parts, and pivots, closers, latches and rails are all replaceable. Replacing an entrance means glass, framing and often the surrounding work.
Our front door will not lock at night. Can you come today?
That is exactly the call to make immediately. A New Brockton business that cannot secure its front entrance has a real problem, and getting the deadlatch working again is usually straightforward once we see it.
