Aluminum Entrance Alignment
Doors that drag, bind, scrape the threshold, show uneven gaps, or reach the frame without latching.
Commercial Door Problems We Assess
A storefront or commercial entrance is a connected system. Movement at the door leaf, frame, pivots, hinges, closer, latch, and panic hardware can all affect closing and access.
Pivots, Hinges, and Closers
Loose, worn, or damaged movement hardware that allows the door to sag, swing unevenly, or close inconsistently.
Panic, Latch, and Access Hardware
Panic hardware, latch, lock, handle, or strike-area problems that interfere with normal entrance use.
Is the entrance binding or failing to latch? Call and describe how the door behaves.
Call 703-244-0559Why the Entrance Must Be Checked as a System
A closer adjustment will not correct every dragging door, and replacing one piece of hardware may not solve a frame or alignment problem. The source can be at the pivots, hinges, closer arm, strike, panic device, threshold, frame, or a combination of parts. Door glass and framing also matter when impact or movement has affected the entrance assembly.
What to Tell Us When You Call
A specific description helps separate an alignment problem from a closer, pivot, hinge, panic-hardware, latch, or access issue.
- The property location and whether the entrance serves retail, restaurant, office, apartment, or mixed-use space
- Whether the door is aluminum, glass, or another commercial entrance type
- Whether it drags, binds, slams, stays open, fails to latch, or is difficult to unlock or operate
- When the problem occurs and whether weather or building traffic changes it
- Whether normal access, closing, latching, or locking is currently possible

1. Observe the Door
The swing, gaps, threshold clearance, closing speed, latching, locking, and access behavior are reviewed.
2. Identify the Source
Alignment, pivots, hinges, closer, panic hardware, latch, strike, frame, and related parts are checked as relevant.
3. Discuss the Repair Path
Adjustment, repair, or replacement options are based on the affected parts and the condition of the entrance.
How Door Problems Affect Building Use
A commercial entrance may serve customers, staff, deliveries, tenants, or residents throughout the day. A door that drags or will not latch can interrupt normal access; a slamming door can be difficult to use; and a panic or lock-hardware problem can change how the entrance is opened and secured.
- Retail and restaurant doors with frequent customer and delivery use
- Office and mixed-use entrances shared by staff, visitors, and tenants
- Apartment and managed-property common doors with repeated daily cycles
