If you are anywhere between the US-80 corridor and Selmont, or out toward the Alabama River, we cover it, along with the rest of Dallas County.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Selmont-West Selmont homes have wood frames and hardware worth repairing rather than replacing, while newer construction tends to have vinyl and aluminum systems where the moving parts wear out long before anything else does.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

The wet winter and dry late-summer cycle here is severe enough that a door adjusted perfectly in February can bind badly by September.
Humidity and condensation work on the steel components inside aluminum entrance hardware, and the deadlatch and cylinder are the first things to stiffen up.
Driving rain gets under a storefront door with a worn sweep and across the floor inside, and the water that collects in the threshold corrodes the bottom pivot housing.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Selmont-West Selmont summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Selmont-West Selmont: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of the Black Belt.

- 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 we finishIf the deadlatch or the cylinder is the problem, the door is made lockable before we leave, whatever else is outstanding.
- Square the door back upCorner fasteners get pulled up, the rail is reset, and the door is brought back square before the pivot is adjusted.
- Set the closer to codeOpening force and closing speed set to accessible limits, with the latch speed adjusted so it closes without slamming. We note the reveal measurements on clay-soil jobs so that if it shifts again there is a baseline to compare against.
- Leave the entrance right for customersIt should open with light pressure, close reliably and lock first time. Anything less will be back on your list.

We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a storefront door repair job in Selmont-West Selmont, the main variables are these:
- hardware grade and ADA compliance requirements
- glass replacement and whether board-up is needed first
- whether the pivots, closer, or both need replacing
- frame damage from forced entry
- concealed and floor closers versus surface mounted units
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 Selmont-West Selmont.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Selmont-West Selmont: questions we get asked
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.
The bottom rail of our door is coming loose. Is that serious?
Yes. The bottom rail holds the glass. Once its connection loosens, the glass is no longer properly supported and the door is on borrowed time.
Can you add a panic bar to our storefront door?
Yes, and depending on the occupancy of your Selmont-West Selmont building it may be required. Exit devices can be fitted to most aluminum storefront doors.
Someone broke in and bent the frame. Is it repairable?
In most cases. Aluminum frames damaged at the lock and strike can be straightened and reinforced. We secure the opening first and then do the permanent repair.
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.
How often should storefront doors be serviced?
For a busy Selmont-West Selmont 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.
