If you are anywhere between the US-90 corridor and the I-10 exit 44 area, or out toward the Loxley farm stands, we cover it, along with the rest of Baldwin County.
Loxley 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.

Blowing sand gets into everything down here. Tracks, screen channels, thresholds and lock cylinders all collect it, and it acts like sandpaper on moving parts.
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.
Humidity and condensation work on the steel components inside aluminum entrance hardware, and the deadlatch and cylinder are the first things to stiffen up.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Loxley summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Loxley: blowing sand and sustained humidity — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our storefront door repair process
- Start at the pivotAlmost every storefront complaint traces back to the top or bottom pivot. That is where we look before touching the closer.
- Test the closer on its ownDisconnecting the arm tells us instantly whether the door is heavy or the closer is failing. They need different work.
- Secure before you finishDeadlatch function comes first, because a shop that cannot lock its front door cannot close. On the coast we also check every fastener on the opening, because salt finds plated screws long before it touches the door itself.
- Square the door back upCorner fasteners get pulled up, the rail is reset, and the door is brought back square before the pivot is adjusted.
- 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of storefront door repair in Loxley
What a storefront door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- after-hours or emergency scheduling
- frame damage from forced entry
- whether the pivots, closer, or both need replacing
- hardware grade and ADA compliance requirements
- glass replacement and whether board-up is needed first
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 Loxley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Loxley: questions we get asked
Do you work on pairs of doors and automatic entrances?
Yes, both. Pairs need coordinated alignment so the astragal seals and both leaves latch, and we service automatic operators as well.
Can you add a panic bar to our storefront door?
Yes, and depending on the occupancy of your Loxley building it may be required. Exit devices can be fitted to most aluminum storefront doors.
Our front door will not lock at night. Can you come today?
That is exactly the call to make immediately. A Loxley business that cannot secure its front entrance has a real problem, and getting the deadlatch working again is usually straightforward once we see it.
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 Baldwin County storms drive water horizontally, so the seal has to work under pressure, not just gravity.
Can you fix the door so it does not slam on customers?
Yes. That is closer adjustment, and it also needs to meet accessibility requirements for opening force. A properly set closer should let a customer through comfortably and still latch the door every time.
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.
