The Canada West Foundation calls Calgary the windiest larger city in Canada. A door that catches a gust gets thrown to the end of its swing, loading the closer, the arm, the top hinge and the frame.
When an exterior door in Calgary keeps going out of adjustment, the fix is often a closer with the right backcheck, or a stop or holder that takes the load. Replacing the same closer every season doesn't solve it.
Slamming, dragging, not latching: what we check first
Match the symptom to where our technicians start looking.
| What you're seeing | What we check first |
|---|---|
| Door slams or closes too fast | Closer speed valves, closer arm, and whether the closer is leaking |
| Door won't latch | Frame alignment, strike position, hinge wear and clearances |
| Door drags on the floor or frame | Hinge screws, hinge wear and whether the frame has shifted |
| Automatic door won't open, or opens late | Sensors, activation settings and the operator |
| Automatic door reverses or won't close | Presence sensors, the track, and speed and force settings |
| Exit device sticks or won't release | Rods, latches, trim and adjustment |
| Wind throws the door open | Closer size, closer arm and backcheck setting |

- Fully stocked vans. Common parts are on board, so many repairs can finish on the first visit.
- Trained on the brands. Technicians are AAADM-certified and factory-trained on the major automatic door brands.
- Every repair logged. Parts replaced, the date, the technician and photos are logged against the door, so the next visit starts with its history.
- Fire door repairs that keep the label. Closers, hinges, latches, strikes, frames, seals, glazing and exit hardware on rated openings, with parts that suit the listing. Send your inspection deficiency list and we'll quote it line by line.
- Built to code. All work is completed to meet Alberta building and fire codes.

Will you repair a door that another company installed?
Yes. We service commercial doors and automatic operators from the major manufacturers, whoever put them in. Our technicians are factory-trained on the main automatic door brands, and the vans carry parts for the closers, hinges and exit devices most Calgary buildings use.
Should we repair an old automatic sliding door or replace it?
There may be a third option: a universal modernization kit that works with most major sliding door brands, with a one-year parts warranty. We'll look at the door and tell you whether repair, the kit or a full replacement makes the most sense.
Do you repair the glass in commercial doors?
Yes. We replace glass in door lites, storefronts and sealed units, including tempered, laminated, fire-rated and RockGlass security glazing. For fire-rated lites, the replacement glass has to match the door's rating, so we check the label before ordering.
Can repairs run on a schedule instead of waiting for a breakdown?
Yes. A preventative maintenance plan puts your doors on regular visits, with a report after each one and an annual summary. Each door gets an ID tag, so its repair history builds up in one place over the years.
