Commercial locks cannot work right if the door sags, rubs, slams or does not close at all. There are many issues that seem to be caused by the lock but actually arise from the door and its frame, the hinges, the closer or the strike plate.

New York Commercial Locksmith offers commercial door repair and maintenance services for offices, retail stores, warehouses, restaurants and other commercial properties.

Common Issues with Commercial Door

Highly trafficked doors constantly move and slam, so some of their parts may become loose and start shifting.

The common issues are:

• Doors rubbing against the frame

• Latch not catching the strike plate

• Loose or broken hinges

• Doors closing too fast

• Doors not closing entirely

• Hard to lock storefront doors

• Loose handles and locks

• Leaking door closers

• Threshold obstructing movement

• Changes in weather impacting the alignment

Neglecting such problems means extra stress for the lock, which causes keys, cylinders, latches and exit devices to wear out early.

Commercial Door Closer Services

Commercial door closer regulates how the door closes. If it is set up right, it should close the door at a proper pace and apply enough pressure for the latch to catch the strike plate.

If a door closer slams the door, it may make noise, break hardware and even become unsafe to use. A slower or weak closer leaves your building unlocked.

Some closer issues may be fixed by adjustment. Some closers leak, get damaged or become so worn out that you need to replace them completely.

Hinges and Door Alignment Fixes

Loose or worn out hinges may cause a door to sag. In this case the latch will hit the frame incorrectly and may require employees to raise or pull the door in order to lock it.

Our specialists check hinge fasteners, the position of the door, latch, strike plate, closer and frame to determine what causes the alignment issue.

Commercial Door Maintenance and Preventive Measures

Regular inspection may reveal loose hardware before you get locked out or have any security issues. The maintenance involves tightening the parts, testing locks, checking panic bars, adjusting door closers, lubricating approved parts and making sure the door latches properly.

Door repair and maintenance services are offered by New York Commercial Locksmith in order to extend the life span of your commercial doors and the maintenance of doors will ensure their proper functioning, increase safety and avoid any sort of damage.
