What’s causing the problem?
Stop Door Sag & Slamming
Aluminum storefront doors hang on small pivots or butt hinges that wear out. The result: sagging, rubbing on the threshold, or doors that won’t latch. Pair that with a mis‑set closer and you get slamming that scares customers and damages frames.
Why continuous hinges win
A full‑length continuous hinge spreads the door’s weight along the entire frame:
- Restores proper alignment and latching
- Eliminates recurring pivot/butt hinge failures
- Reduces stress on the frame and glass
- Looks clean and professional
Don’t forget the door closer
We set sweep, latch speed, and backcheck so your door closes smoothly without slamming or wind‑catch. This protects customers, compliance signage, and HVAC efficiency.
When to upgrade
- Door rubs or scrapes the threshold
- You need to pull hard to latch
- Hinge leaves are bent or cracked
- Closer is leaking oil or hissing
Our storefront tune‑up
- Inspect hinges/pivots, frame, and closer
- Recommend a continuous hinge if needed
- Install and tune the closer
- Verify ADA‑friendly opening force and safe closing speed
