Storefront Door Repair Pilsen
Aluminum storefront doors are common along Pilsen commercial corridors. These doors depend on proper alignment between the door, frame, hinge, closer, lock and strike. When one component wears out, the door may drag, slam, rub the threshold, fail to latch or require excessive force to close.

- Door sag correction
- Threshold clearance adjustment
- Latch and strike realignment
- Closer adjustment and replacement
- Mortise lock repair

When a storefront door must be pushed or pulled to lock, the problem may be caused by hinge wear, frame movement, lock alignment or closer operation. We inspect the complete opening to identify the actual cause before recommending repair or replacement.
Roton Hinge Repair Pilsen Chicago
A Roton hinge is a full length continuous hinge designed to distribute the weight of a door across the entire height of the frame. This makes continuous hinges especially useful for heavy aluminum storefront doors and high traffic commercial entrances. They can help correct sagging, reduce stress on the frame and provide smoother operation than several separate hinges.
Our Roton hinge and continuous hinge service may include removing the existing hardware, supporting and repositioning the door, correcting clearance, reinforcing mounting points, installing the new hinge and cycle testing the door. Depending on the condition of the opening, additional adjustment to the closer, lock, strike or threshold may also be necessary.

- Roton hinge replacement
- Continuous hinge installation
- Sagging door correction
- Binding commercial door repair
- Frame reinforcement
- Threshold clearance correction
- High traffic door stabilization
