When a Door Failure Needs Prompt Attention
Some commercial door problems can wait for a scheduled visit; others affect a building's security or safe egress and need to be addressed quickly. A door that won't close or secure leaves a property exposed. A door that won't latch on a fire-rated or egress opening is a life-safety issue. We prioritize these situations and work to get your door secured and functioning again.
Problems We Address
- Door will not close
- Door will not secure or lock
- Door will not latch
- Damaged or bent door frame
- Broken door closer
- Panic bar or exit device failure — see our panic bar repair page
- Door misalignment following impact damage
- Damaged storefront entrance hardware
- Hardware failure affecting security
What to Expect
When you call, tell us what's happening with the door — whether it's a security issue, a life-safety/egress issue, or a functional problem that's disrupting business — so we can plan the right response. On site, we diagnose the cause (frame, hardware, closer, or door itself) and either repair it during that visit or, if a replacement part or door is required, secure the opening in the meantime and schedule the fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
My commercial door won't close — what should I do?
Call us and describe the problem — whether the door is stuck open, won't latch, or the frame is damaged. That helps us plan the right fix and bring the correct parts or hardware.
Is a door that won't secure a safety issue?
Yes — a door that won't close and lock leaves a property exposed to unauthorized entry, and a door that won't latch on an egress or fire-rated opening can be a life-safety issue. Both are worth addressing promptly.
Can a damaged door frame be fixed the same visit?
Many frame and hardware repairs can be completed in a single visit. If a specific replacement part or door is required, we'll secure the opening as needed and schedule the remaining work.
What information should I provide when I call?
Let us know what's wrong with the door (won't close, won't latch, damaged frame, broken hardware), whether it affects security or an exit path, and the type of door if you know it. This helps us prepare before we arrive.
Do you repair storefront entrance damage?
Yes. We repair storefront entrance doors and hardware, including damage from impact or hardware failure. See our storefront and glass doors page for more detail on that service.
