Door Hardware Repair in Lethbridge
A door that's too heavy to push, slams, or won't latch is almost always a hardware problem. We repair and replace closers, levers, hinges, locks and exit devices on commercial doors in Lethbridge.
Call our Calgary team403-650-5232Too heavy, too fast, or not latching
Most hardware calls come down to the closer. Set too strong, the door is hard to open. Set too fast, it slams or catches heels. Leaking or worn, it stops short and doesn't latch. Lethbridge's wind makes all three worse on exterior doors.
We adjust what can be adjusted and replace what can't, then test the door for opening force, closing time and latching. On fire-rated doors, replacement parts have to suit the door's label.

List the doors and what each one is doing, and we'll quote them together.
Our door slams. Is that a quick fix?
Often it is. Most closers have speed and latch valves that can be adjusted. If the closer is leaking oil or doesn't respond to adjustment, it needs replacing.
Can you match the hardware already on our doors?
We match the function and finish wherever possible, and use parts that suit the door's fire rating when it has one.
Do you repair automatic door hardware too?
Yes. See automatic door repair in Lethbridge for operators, sensors and sliding doors.
