Our territory takes in Geneva and the communities around it in Geneva County, so calls from the courthouse square, the US-84 corridor and out by the Geneva County Courthouse all get the same response.
Door problems in Geneva 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.

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.
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.
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 the Geneva County Courthouse and the rest of Geneva.
Local factors we account for in Geneva: blowing sand and heavy rainfall — typical of the Wiregrass.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How a Geneva storefront door repair visit works
- 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. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
- Secure before you finishDeadlatch function comes first, because a shop that cannot lock its front door cannot close.
- 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.
- Fit around your tradingEarly, late or midweek. We would rather work around a shop than shut a doorway during the busiest part of the day.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of storefront door repair in Geneva
Pricing on storefront door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- whether the pivots, closer, or both need replacing
- after-hours or emergency scheduling
- frame damage from forced entry
- 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 Geneva.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Geneva: questions we get asked
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.
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.
The bottom rail of our door is coming loose. Is that serious?
Yes. The bottom rail holds the glass. Once its connection loosens, the glass is no longer properly supported and the door is on borrowed time.
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.
Our front door will not lock at night. Can you come today?
That is exactly the call to make immediately. A Geneva 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 add a panic bar to our storefront door?
Yes, and depending on the occupancy of your Geneva building it may be required. Exit devices can be fitted to most aluminum storefront doors.
