Storefront Door Repair

Stephanie C • May 22, 2019

When you own a business the first point of contact with a customer is through the front door. Problems with the door can potentially give customers a negative first impression of your company. Here is an overview of the issues that can arise with your storefront doors and the typical reasons behind the problems.

Dragging Door

Doors that drag on the ground can be very aggravating for customers and employees because it takes unnecessary time and energy to push and pull the door open and closed. If you have a door that is dragging it could be that the pivot(s) needs to be adjusted or potentially replaced, the door is coming apart because of additions such as Mag Locks, or occasionally the glass on the door needs to be re-racked.

Door Is Not Locking

Businesses typically keep everything they need inside the building and a door that doesn’t lock can be a huge cause for concern. There are several potential reasons why a door would not lock properly. The door may be misaligned, a panic device may be malfunctioning, the top hat needs adjustment, or the lock has failed. The most worrisome reason would be if the structure is decaying causing the doors to sit incorrectly which at that point a contractor and an architect would need to get involved.

Leaking

Water coming into the building can be nerve wrecking not only because it’s a sign of a problem, but it can also cause damage to the flooring. If you have water coming into the building from the doors it could be that you need to replace your door sweeps or rain drips, the glass may need to be re-caulked or resealed, or you may need to have the threshold or frame reattached.

Door Will Not Close

Business doors are designed with closers so when you walk through the door you don’t have to pull the door shut behind you allowing for you to walk in and out freely. When we are used to not having to worry about the door closing behind us it is easy to leave and not look back which can be a problem if there is an issue with the door closing properly. The main reason that a door would not close properly is that the door closer needs to be adjusted or has failed. Fluid on the closer is an indication that an adjustment would not fix the problem and the closer needs to be replaced. Other reasons for a door not closing include lock failure, misalignment of the door, or an improper installation.

Customer Reviews

"I was selling my property and had two windows that needed replacing. One had thermal seal failure and one was broken. I had gotten a quote from a “window” company and they said the whole window plus the transom above it would have to be replaced and their cost was over 1700.00. I called another glass company and they have yet to call me back to even come out and look at replacing the glass only. I called Huntsville Glass and I believe they came out within 2 days to measure and give me a quote. It was under 600.00. After I gave them the go ahead to order the replacement glass I was told it would take 2-3 weeks and that was fine with me but they came in at least a week sooner and they installed them within two days of calling me to say they were in!! John and James arrived right on time and were finished quickly and left behind no mess. The even answered my questions and explained the process to me patiently. I will definitely use them again! I appreciate their exemplary customer service!"

"I was very pleased with the replacement of a window in a double door, which was installed by Mr. May and Mr. Davis. They were on time, worked very efficiently, and were most pleasant to talk to.

In addition, when my plantation blind was removed, there was decay on frame that I was unaware of. They were able to repair the damage, which would have been extra expense for me if I had to call in an extra repairman.

This is the third project that Huntsville Glass has assisted me with; therefore, I am very comfortable calling when I have another project."

"We had a storm window recently broken while the yard was being mowed. We called Huntsville Glass who was very friendly and helpful. Two employees came out that day to measure for a repair quote which we received the next day. Those two employees John May and James Davis Sr. came back to the repair work. They were friendly and knowledgeable in doing their work. They also made sure that the window area was clean and no broken glass fell on the ground. Thank you so much. "

"I am writing about the outstanding service provided by two of you service technicians, John May and James Davis. They arrived early, were extremely proficient in removing the existing large picture window, kept the area clean, moved the window outside to their truck, removed the frame and placed the new window into the frame. They brought the window back inside and installed it in the wall. Throughout the process, they were communicative, very professional, did the required caulking, and subsequent cleanup. I would gladly recommend your company and these two service technicians to anyone needing such service."
