- Board-up exposed openings and isolate broken glass zones
- Check lock cylinders, strike plates, and panic hardware function
- Coordinate replacement timeline with staff and landlord teams
Step 3: Plan Reopening and Permanent Repairs
Share photos, incident timing, and property access notes so your glass and door team can prioritize permanent restoration with minimal disruption.
