Commercial steel doors, such as rear exits, service doors and warehouse man-doors, take heavy use and abuse. When they sag, drag, will not latch, or have been forced, we repair hinges, frames and hardware or replace the door, so it closes, latches and locks reliably.
When to call us
- The door drags on the floor or frame.
- It no longer latches or needs slamming.
- The door or frame has been pried or dented.
- Rust has weakened the bottom of the door or frame.
How the job works
- We inspect the door, frame, hinges, closer and lock.
- We recommend adjustment, repair or replacement.
- Emergency make-safe is available 24/7 after a break-in.
- Repairs or a new door are installed with compatible hardware.
- The door is tested for latching, locking and exit.
Why steel doors sag and drag
Steel doors are heavy, and their hinges carry that weight thousands of times a year. Over time, hinge knuckles wear, screws loosen in the frame, and the door drops. Once it drops, it drags on the threshold and the latch no longer meets the strike, so staff start slamming the door, which accelerates the damage.
Replacing worn hinges with heavy-duty or ball-bearing hinges, re-anchoring the frame and adjusting the closer usually restores the door. Rust at the bottom of the door or frame, common on rear doors exposed to salt and water, may mean replacement is more economical.
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:
- Repair versus replacement.
- Door size, gauge and fire rating.
- Hardware reused or replaced.
- Emergency after-hours work.
