A lot of what we see in Perry County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Uniontown conditions and storefront door repair
The wet winter and dry late-summer cycle here is severe enough that a door adjusted perfectly in February can bind badly by September.
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.
Building movement racks an aluminum storefront frame, and because these doors are set to fine tolerances, even small movement stops the deadlatch reaching its keeper cleanly.
We factor that in on every storefront door repair job around the Uniontown historic district and the rest of Uniontown.
Local factors we account for in Uniontown: heavy rainfall and soil movement — typical of the Black Belt.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our storefront door repair process
- Look at the pivot firstOn a sagging storefront door the bottom pivot is the usual culprit, and everything else you might blame is a symptom of it.
- 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.
- Reset and square the doorPivots set, door squared in the opening, latch engaging cleanly without lifting or pulling. Through the Black Belt we check whether the opening has moved with the clay before we adjust anything, or the adjustment goes out again by next season.
- 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.

There is no single price for storefront door repair in Uniontown, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:
- concealed and floor closers versus surface mounted units
- after-hours or emergency scheduling
- hardware grade and ADA compliance requirements
- glass replacement and whether board-up is needed first
- frame damage from forced entry
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 Uniontown.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Uniontown: questions we get asked
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.
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.
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.
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 Uniontown business that cannot secure its front entrance has a real problem, and getting the deadlatch working again is usually straightforward once we see it.
How often should storefront doors be serviced?
For a busy Uniontown 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.
