Between Redland proper, the the Redland Road corridor area and the newer building out toward Rifle Range Road, we stay busy in Elmore County, and Millbrook is close enough that we are often nearby.
Door problems in Redland tend to sort into two groups: older homes where the frames and jambs have taken decades of weather, and newer builds where the hardware was the cheapest part of the package and has already given up.

Summers here are long and genuinely hot, and afternoon thunderstorms arrive most days in July. Anything that relies on a rubber seal ages fast under that combination of UV and heat.
A gust catching a storefront door with no overhead stop drives it past its limit and destroys the closer arm, and repeated wind loading is what works a door off its pivots.
Driving rain gets under a storefront door with a worn sweep and across the floor inside, and the water that collects in the threshold corrodes the bottom pivot housing.
We factor that in on every storefront door repair job around Wetumpka just north and the rest of Redland.
Local factors we account for in Redland: storm wind and heavy rainfall — typical of the River Region.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

- 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 we finishIf the deadlatch or the cylinder is the problem, the door is made lockable before we leave, whatever else is outstanding.
- Reset and square the doorPivots set, door squared in the opening, latch engaging cleanly without lifting or pulling. In the River Region we check for both humidity swelling and clay movement, because the two are easy to confuse and need different work.
- Set the closer to codeOpening force and closing speed adjusted for accessibility and for the actual traffic through the door.
- Leave the entrance right for customersIt should open with light pressure, close reliably and lock first time. Anything less will be back on your list.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Redland: questions we get asked
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.
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.
Someone broke in and bent the frame. Is it repairable?
In most cases. Aluminum frames damaged at the lock and strike can be straightened and reinforced. We secure the opening first and then do the permanent repair.
Our front door will not lock at night. Can you come today?
That is exactly the call to make immediately. A Redland business that cannot secure its front entrance has a real problem, and getting the deadlatch working again is usually straightforward once we see it.
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.
How much does it cost to repair a storefront door versus replacing it?
Repair is dramatically cheaper. Aluminum storefront systems are designed with serviceable parts, and pivots, closers, latches and rails are all replaceable. Replacing an entrance means glass, framing and often the surrounding work.
