One of the most common and effective commercial door repairs is door closer replacement. There are many parts to the inner workings of a closer, but they usually can’t be adjusted, repaired or rebuilt. Door closer replacement of malfunctioning ones is often the easiest solution.

The undisputed king of entry doors is the revolving door. Constructed from multiple toughened glass panels mounted in a revolving metal frame, the revolving door forms a perfect insulating seal and can be locked to prevent entry or exit when required. Its only drawback is that it can be difficult for people with certain types of disabilities to operate without assistance.

​

By far the most commonly encountered type of commercial entry door system is a set of automatic sliding doors. These doors are generally safe and practical for all people to use, and don’t provide too much of a challenge. Their drawback is that they’re not good insulators. They let air in and out of the building every time somebody just walks past them. The automatic sliding system can fail, and the rollers can break down, deteriorate or fall out. The manual sliding door is also a common commercial door. The tracks get major use due to foot traffic and need to be cleaned regularly as debris in the tracks leads to roller damage.

​

Pivot doors have long been a popular choice in commercial doors, used as both internal and entry doors.  The latest trend in home design is the statement front door. Homeowners are choosing something large, grand and different to their neighbours. This is where the pivot door system comes in. Pivot doors rotate on a pivot box rather than on traditional side hinges. Ideal for large panels, pivoting doors exude a cool contemporary vibe. A pivot door is supported by a pivot point on the floor and another pivot at the top. A pivot system is also good for large glass doors, as it comes complete with a high-quality concealed self-closing mechanism. The mechanisms that make this style of door unique will break down over time, especially in high-traffic areas such as commercial applications.

​

Typical problems include the oil leaking from the pivot box and the doors not opening or closing posing a safety and security risk. If the door is making strange sounds when it is opened and closed, is scraping on the ground or against the other door in double door setups then it’s fairly certain there is something very wrong with the mechanism. These doors are often large and heavy and are complex to repair.

​
