Commercial Door Hardware and Replacement Parts
Hardware decides how a door opens, closes, latches and locks. We help property managers, contractors and owners choose, replace and repair hardware on steel, wood and aluminum commercial doors.

A door that drags, slams, won't latch or is hard to open usually has more than one cause. A sagging hinge pulls the latch out of line, so the closer works harder and the lock wears faster. Replacing just the lock won't fix that.
We look at the whole opening first: door size and weight, how much traffic it gets, accessibility needs, the existing preparations and any fire rating. Then we recommend the hardware that will make it work, whether that's one part or a full package.
What each part does, and when it's failing
A quick way to tell which piece of hardware is behind a problem door.
| Hardware | Its job | Signs it needs attention |
|---|---|---|
| Hinges | Carry the door's weight and keep it square in the frame | Door sags, rubs the frame or the latch misses the strike |
| Closer | Brings the door back and into the latch at a controlled speed | Slams, closes too slowly or stops short of latching |
| Lock or latch | Holds the door closed and controls who gets in | Sticks, needs a push to catch, or the key binds |
| Exit device | Lets people out with one push | Needs two hands, sticks, or the latch doesn't retract fully |
| Threshold and seals | Close the gaps around the door | Drafts, light showing, snow or water getting in |
Choosing the right hardware
Points that decide what goes on a commercial door.
Panic or fire exit hardware
Rated doors that need push-to-exit hardware take a listed fire exit device. Standard panic hardware isn't a substitute on a fire door.

Tell us what the door is doing and send a photo of the hardware, and we'll recommend the fix.
Our hardware is discontinued. What now?
We find a current product with the same function and finish that fits the existing cut-outs, so the door doesn't need new preparation. If nothing fits cleanly, we'll explain the options.
Do you work on aluminum storefront and wood doors too?
Yes. We supply and fit hardware for steel, wood and aluminum commercial doors.
