Commercial Door Repair & Hardware Services
The Engine Behind the Door
A commercial door is a complex machine. Even the strongest door will fail if the hardware controlling it isn't up to the task. At 911 Glass & Doors, we go beyond simple repairs—we upgrade your facility with Grade 1 commercial hardware designed to withstand heavy abuse, high traffic, and Savannah’s coastal elements. From securing your perimeter to ensuring smooth daily operation, we provide the mechanical muscle your entrances need to last.
Door Control & Mechanical Parts
Stop Slamming and Sagging Doors
The number one cause of door failure is inadequate hardware. We replace cheap "builder-grade" parts with heavy-duty commercial components designed to survive Savannah’s high traffic and salt air.
​
-
Hydraulic Door Closers: Expert installation and adjustment of surface-mounted and concealed closers. We calibrate backcheck, sweep, and latching speeds to prevent doors from slamming shut or catching in the wind.
Continuous "Full Surface" Hinges: The ultimate solution for heavy or sagging doors. By installing a continuous geared hinge from top to bottom, we distribute weight evenly along the frame to prevent failure. This "full surface" application covers old hinge preps and restores door alignment instantly.
-
Pivots & Thresholds: We replace worn-out floor pivots and weather-sealed thresholds to restore alignment and watertight integrity.
-
Pro Tip: For a permanent solution to sagging, we highly recommend upgrading from pivots to Full Surface Hinges to eliminate the most common failure points.

Life Safety & Egress Hardware
Safe Egress is Non-Negotiable
In an emergency, your doors must function flawlessly. We install and service high-performance Exit Devices (Panic Bars) that secure your building from the outside while ensuring immediate, unhindered exit from the inside.
​
-
Panic Bar Retrofits: Upgrading broken, jammed, or "dogged down" crash bars to smooth-operating Grade 1 devices that meet current life safety codes.
-
Fire-Rated Hardware: Installation of certified hardware for fire doors, ensuring they self-latch positively to stop the spread of smoke and flames.
-
Alarmed Exit Devices: Integrated alarms (Detex style) to prevent theft and unauthorized back-door exits without violating fire codes.
Security & Locking Hardware
Protect Your Business Overnight
Securing your business starts with the right locking mechanism. We supply and install heavy-duty commercial storefront door locks built to withstand daily traffic, severe weather, and forced entry attempts.​
​
-
Mortise Locks: The gold standard for commercial entryways, recessed directly into the frame to prevent tampering.
-
Deadlatches & Hookbolts: Allows your doors to latch automatically during business hours while deploying a solid hookbolt for overnight security.
-
Electronic Access: Seamless integration with electric strikes or keypads so you can manage employee access without rekeying.
Automatic Door Repair & Maintenance
Keep Your High-Traffic Entrances Moving
A malfunctioning automatic door isn't just an inconvenience—it is a massive liability and an ADA compliance risk. We provide expert repair and preventative maintenance for all commercial automatic entryways to ensure safe, reliable operation.
-
Automatic Sliding Doors: We fix "ghosting" (doors staying open), replace worn drive belts, and recalibrate safety sensors for seamless retail entryways.
-
Automatic Swinging Doors: We repair and adjust low-energy operators, wave-to-open sensors, and handicap push plates to maintain strict ADA compliance.
-
AAADM-Certified Inspections: Protect your business with routine maintenance to catch failing motors, fluid leaks, and misaligned sensors before they cause costly downtime.
