Between Daleville proper, the the Daleville Avenue corridor area and the newer building out toward the AL-85 area, we stay busy in Dale County, and Ozark is close enough that we are often nearby.
Daleville has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What Daleville weather does to storefront door repair
The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.
Grit accumulates in the bottom pivot and the threshold of an aluminum entrance and grinds the bearing surface, and on a storefront that sees hundreds of cycles a day that wear happens quickly.
Sun on a south or west facing storefront expands the aluminum through the afternoon and degrades the weatherstrip and glazing gaskets, so the door fits differently at closing time than it did at opening.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Daleville summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Daleville: blowing sand and sun and heat load — typical of the Wiregrass.

- Check the corners of the doorA dropped bottom rail is the single most common storefront failure, and it mimics half a dozen other faults.
- Check the closer independentlyWe disconnect and test the closer separately so we know whether the resistance is the closer or the door binding.
- Secure before we finishIf the deadlatch or the cylinder is the problem, the door is made lockable before we leave, whatever else is outstanding.
- Rebuild the rail properlyWhere the bottom rail has separated, it is reassembled with the glass correctly blocked rather than packed and hoped for.
- Set the closer to codeOpening force and closing speed set to accessible limits, with the latch speed adjusted so it closes without slamming.
- Work to your scheduleWe plan around trading hours so the entrance is not out of service during business. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.

Every storefront door repair call in Dale County is a little different, and the cost follows what the door actually needs:
- hardware grade and ADA compliance requirements
- frame damage from forced entry
- whether the pivots, closer, or both need replacing
- glass replacement and whether board-up is needed first
- concealed and floor closers versus surface mounted units
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Daleville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Daleville: questions we get asked
Water comes under our front door when it storms. What fixes that?
A new sweep and threshold seal, and sometimes correcting the drainage at the entrance. In Dale County storms drive water horizontally, so the seal has to work under pressure, not just gravity.
Our front door will not lock at night. Can you come today?
That is exactly the call to make immediately. A Daleville business that cannot secure its front entrance has a real problem, and getting the deadlatch working again is usually straightforward once we see it.
Why is our door so hard for customers to open?
Usually the closer has been cranked up to force a misaligned door to latch. That is treating the symptom. Fix the alignment and the closer can go back to a comfortable setting that still latches.
Do you replace storefront glass?
Yes, tempered glass for doors, sidelites and transoms. Board-up happens first so you can trade, and the glass follows once the unit is made.
How often should storefront doors be serviced?
For a busy Daleville entrance, once or twice a year. Pivots and closers wear gradually, and adjusting them before they fail is far cheaper than an emergency call when the door will not latch.
Why does our storefront door drag at the top corner?
The bottom pivot has worn. The door is pivoting on a bearing that carries its entire weight, and when that wears the door drops and the top outside corner comes down against the frame. Replacing the pivot brings the whole door back into position.
