Energy Efficiency & Security
Today's commercial glass door systems are engineered for both energy efficiency and security. We carry options with low-E glass coatings, multi-point locking systems, and laminated safety glass to protect your business and reduce energy costs.
Storefront & Glass Door Systems
Aluminum-framed storefront doors and tempered glass entrances take a lot of daily traffic, and their hardware — pivots, closers, and locks — tends to be the first thing to show wear. We install and repair storefront entry systems, including aluminum storefront doors, glass doors, and the frames and hardware around them.
Common Storefront Door Problems
Door dragging or not closing properly
Dragging usually means a worn pivot or hinge, or a door that has shifted out of alignment with the frame. This is one of the most common storefront calls we get.
Pivot and hinge wear
Storefront doors are often hung on floor-mounted pivots rather than standard hinges. Worn pivots cause dragging, uneven swing, and difficulty closing — we repair or replace pivot hardware as needed.
Concealed closer problems
Many storefront doors use closers concealed in the floor or the header rather than surface-mounted units. These fail the same ways surface closers do — leaking, slamming, or slow closing — but require different access to service. See our door closer repair page for closer-specific detail.
Broken handles and worn locks
Storefront pull handles and locks see constant use and are common wear points. We replace broken handles and worn or failing commercial locks.
Threshold and frame problems
Worn thresholds affect the door's seal and can create a trip hazard; frame damage from impact affects how well the door closes and locks. Both are addressed as part of storefront repair.
Storefront Security
Because storefront entrances are highly visible and heavily used, hardware condition directly affects a property's security. We can also integrate storefront doors with electrified locks and access control — see our access control systems page.
Repair vs. Replacement
Pivot wear, closer issues, and hardware problems are typically repairable. Full door or frame replacement is generally the right call when the aluminum framing is significantly damaged or the glass itself is cracked or broken.
