Commercial door repair fixes the parts that make a door work every day. That includes hinges, pivots, closers, frames, latches, and exit devices. Busy doors in offices, clinics, hotels, and government buildings open hundreds of times a day.
Over time, screws loosen, frames shift, and closers leak. A small fault can stop a door from latching, which leaves your building exposed. Our technicians find the real cause, not just the symptom. We repair what can be saved and replace only the parts that have failed.
Fixing hinges, closers, or frames costs far less than a new door, frame, and full installation.
Most repairs are done in one visit, so your entry stays secure and open for business.
Repaired doors close, latch, and open with the right force for fire code and ADA rules.
King Locksmith And Doors Inc. repairs commercial doors across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia. We serve small businesses, government agencies, hospitals, hotels, schools, and property managers. Our licensed and insured technicians work on hollow metal, wood, aluminum, and glass storefront doors. We carry common parts on our service trucks, so many repairs are finished in one trip. We also explain what failed and why, so you can plan ahead and avoid repeat door problems.
Not every door problem needs the same fix. Use this guide to match the repair to your door type, your building, and the codes you must meet. Then book an on-site assessment with our team.
Hollow metal doors in busy buildings often need hinge reinforcement, frame realignment, or welding at loose corners. Wood doors swell, warp, and strip their screw holes as moisture and heavy traffic take their toll.
Aluminum storefront doors usually fail at the pivots, the closer arm, or the bottom rail. Each material needs different parts, tools, and skills. We assess the door first, then choose a repair that will last for years under heavy daily traffic.
Fire-rated doors must close and latch on their own every single time. NFPA 80 calls for a yearly inspection, plus a new inspection after repairs. Every repair must keep the door’s fire rating and label intact.
We use listed parts and approved repair methods only. We fix closers, latches, gaps, and hinges so your doors pass the annual fire marshal check. We also give you clear written notes for your inspection records and future audits.
ADA rules limit how hard an interior door can be to push or pull. Most interior doors must open with no more than five pounds of force. Closers must also not slam the door shut on people.
A worn closer or a dragging door can break these rules quickly. We adjust closer speed and force, fix thresholds, and check hardware height. This helps visitors, patients, and staff move through your building safely and without strain.
A door that does not fully latch is really an open door. Bent frames, loose strikes, and worn hinges give intruders an easy and quiet way in, even when the lock itself works fine.
We realign doors and frames, replace damaged strikes, and add latch guards or security hinges where needed. Government sites, clinics, schools, and offices get doors that lock every time. Your access control system also works better on a sound, well-aligned door.
Repair makes sense when the door slab and frame are still solid and square. Worn hinges, closers, latches, and weatherstripping are all quick, low-cost fixes that add years of life to the opening.
Replacement is the better choice when the frame is rusted through, the slab is split, or the fire label is lost. After our inspection, we give you an honest answer and clear, written, upfront pricing for both options before any work begins.
Many facility managers replace doors that only need a simple repair. This table compares both options, so you can see where repair saves time, money, and disruption for your building.
