Door Closer, Pivot & Hinge Repair
Most storefront door problems come down to the closer, pivots or hinges. We replace worn hardware and upgrade it so the door works reliably for years.
Upgrading instead of just replacing
When a closer or pivot fails, replacing it with the same part restores operation. Upgrading can solve the underlying problem: a heavier-duty closer for a busy door, a continuous hinge in place of pivots on a door that keeps sagging, or a closer with backcheck for a door that keeps getting blown open.
Common fixes
- Overhead concealed and surface closer replacement
- Floor closer replacement on frameless and center-hung doors
- Offset pivot replacement
- Continuous hinge retrofits
- Closing and latching speed adjustment for accessibility
Setting the door up correctly
After any hardware work, the door is adjusted for closing speed, latching speed and opening force so it latches every time and meets accessibility requirements.

Door Closer, Pivot & Hinge Repair questions
Do not see your question? Call and talk to a glazing specialist.
Should I replace pivots with a continuous hinge?
On doors that keep sagging or see heavy traffic, it is a durable upgrade.
Can a closer be adjusted to make the door easier to open?
Yes, within the limits that still let it latch.
How long does a closer last?
It depends on traffic and climate, often several years on a busy door.
