Aluminium-and-glass doors combine a light frame with heavy glass, and their pivots, hinges and narrow-stile locks wear under the weight and traffic. We repair frames, replace pivots and hinges, and fix or replace the locks and handles so the door hangs straight and locks securely.
When to call us
- The door has dropped and scrapes the threshold.
- The frame is loose at the corners.
- The handle or push bar is loose.
- The narrow-stile lock sticks or will not engage.
How the job works
- We check pivots, hinges, frame joints and the lock.
- Worn pivots or hinges are replaced.
- Frame corners are tightened or repaired where possible.
- Locks and handles are repaired or replaced.
- The door is aligned and tested.
Keeping aluminium doors square
Aluminium door frames are assembled from extrusions joined at the corners. Heavy use loosens those corner joints, the door racks out of square, and it starts to drag or bind. Tightening or replacing the corner fasteners, and replacing worn pivots, often brings the door back into shape.
Handles and push bars take heavy leverage every day and loosen too. Tightening them early prevents damage to the stile, which is harder and more expensive to repair.
What affects the price
The dispatcher explains the service call before anyone is sent, and the technician confirms the total with you before starting any work that adds cost. The main price drivers are:
- Pivot or hinge replacement.
- Frame repair.
- Lock and handle parts.
- Glass replacement if cracked.
Hardware we see in Toronto

What we will and won't do
