Door Hardware Repair in Medicine Hat
When hundreds of people leave a building at once, every panic bar has to work. We repair and replace commercial door hardware in Medicine Hat, from a single closer to every exit in a venue.

Assembly buildings like arenas, theatres and halls lean hard on exit hardware. The building code calls for panic hardware on exit doors in assembly occupancies above 100 people, and those devices take a beating at every event.
We repair and replace panic bars, closers, hinges, locks, strikes and electrified hardware on commercial doors. Parts on rated doors are matched to the door's label, and every job is logged against the door.

Co-op Place, WikipediaWhy the grade of the part matters
On a busy exit, a light-duty device wears out fast. Grade 1 exit devices are tested to 500,000 cycles under ANSI/BHMA A156.3, so on venue and school doors we fit Grade 1 hardware wherever the opening allows.
For closers, the same thinking applies. A heavy-duty closer with backcheck lasts longer and protects the door and frame. We'll tell you when a repair is worth doing and when replacing the part is cheaper over its life.
Send a photo of the device and its brand, and we'll bring the right part.
Do you re-key locks in Medicine Hat?
Yes. When staff leave or keys go missing, we re-key cylinders or swap them out, and can replace the whole lockset if it's worn.
Can you service every exit in a venue before an event season?
Yes. We can check and repair every exit device, closer and lock in one planned visit, with a door-by-door report.
Do you work on electric strikes and maglocks?
Yes. We repair and replace electrified hardware and coordinate with whoever runs your access control.
