Our ServicesTypes Of Commercial Door Repairs We Handle
Aluminum storefront doors, all-glass doors, and hollow metal doors. If it swings, latches, or locks, we service it.
Door Hardware Repair
Doors that will not open, will not latch, or drag on the floor almost always come down to worn hardware. We repair and replace closers, pivots, hinges, deadlatches, locks, thresholds, and weatherstripping so the door works the way it should.
Door Glass Replacement
Cracked or shattered door glass gets measured, ordered, and set back in the frame. We handle tempered door lites, insulated units, sidelites, and transoms for storefront and entry doors.
Access Control & Electrified Hardware
We install electrified panic hardware, electric strikes, and maglocks that are ready for card readers, keypads, or fob systems. If you want the wiring done too, we coordinate a licensed low voltage electrician.
Emergency & Same-Day Service
A door that will not lock is a security problem tonight, not next week. We respond fast for break-ins, board-ups, and doors stuck open, then come back with the permanent repair.
Closers & Hinges
Slamming doors, leaking closers, and sagging doors wear out frames fast. We service surface-mounted closers, concealed overhead closers, floor closers, offset pivots, butt hinges, and continuous geared hinges.
Panic Hardware & Exit Devices
Exit doors have to open every time. We repair and replace rim devices, crossbar panic bars, and concealed vertical rod devices, and we keep your exits code compliant and ADA friendly.
Three Ways We Get Your Doors Back In Service
Most commercial door calls fall into one of three buckets. We handle all three in house, which means one call and one crew instead of three vendors pointing at each other.
Hardware
Closers, pivots, hinges, panic bars, locks, and thresholds. We diagnose why the door is failing instead of just tightening screws, then repair or replace the part that is actually worn out.
Glass
Broken door lites, sidelites, and transoms replaced with tempered safety glass or insulated units. We board up the same day when needed and set the permanent glass as soon as it arrives.
Access Control
Electrified panic hardware, electric strikes, and maglocks that work with readers, keypads, and fobs. We install the door hardware and bring in a licensed low voltage electrician for the wiring if you want it.
Commercial Door Problems We Solve Every Week
Here is what we get called out for the most across LaPlace and the surrounding parishes.
Hardware Repairs
If the door is fighting you, the hardware is telling you something. We find the real cause and fix it.
Door Will Not Open Or Close: Failed closers, seized pivots, and bent frames stop a door cold. We get it swinging again.
Door Will Not Latch: Usually a worn deadlatch, a misaligned strike, or a door that has dropped out of square. All three are fixable.
Hinges Broken Off: We replace butt hinges, offset pivots, and full continuous geared hinges that carry heavy traffic doors.
Locks Will Not Lock: Hookbolts, MS locks, deadlatches, and cylinders repaired, replaced, or rekeyed so you can close up with confidence.
Door Dragging Or Sagging: A door scraping the threshold is wearing itself out. We square it back up and reset the threshold and sweeps.
Closer Leaking Or Slamming: Surface, concealed overhead, and floor closers rebuilt or replaced and adjusted for ADA opening force.
Door Glass Repairs
Broken door glass is a safety issue and an open invitation. We secure it now and replace it right.
Tempered Door Lites: Code required safety glass cut to your exact door opening and set with new glazing.
Insulated Glass Units: Fogged or failed sealed units in entry doors and sidelites replaced to bring comfort back.
Emergency Board-Ups: After a break-in or storm we secure the opening the same day, then return with the permanent glass.
All-Glass Herculite Doors: We service frameless doors, patch fittings, top and bottom rails, and the pivots underneath them.
Access Control
Want to control who gets in and when? We put the hardware on the door that makes that possible.
Electrified Panic Hardware: Exit devices with electric latch retraction, so the door stays code compliant and still works with a reader.
Electric Strikes & Maglocks: Installed and aligned in the frame, with request-to-exit and automatic operators when the opening calls for it.
Readers, Keypads & Fobs: We prep and install the door side hardware your card reader, keypad, or fob system needs.
Wiring Coordinated For You: We install the electrified hardware and sub out a licensed low voltage electrician for the wiring if you want the full system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A door that will not latch is usually a worn deadlatch, a strike out of alignment, or a door that has sagged out of square. We check all three, then repair the part that is actually causing it instead of guessing.
We install the door hardware that access control runs on. That includes electrified panic hardware with electric latch retraction, electric strikes, and maglocks, all prepped to work with card readers, keypads, and fob systems.
We put on the electrified hardware, and if you want the wiring done we sub out a licensed low voltage electrician to handle it. You still get one point of contact and one schedule.
For doors that will not lock or will not close, we push for same-day or next-day service in LaPlace and the surrounding parishes. If the opening is not secure, we can board it up right away and come back with the permanent repair.
