Commercial Specialty Door Installation & Repair
Unique Openings Demand Custom Solutions
Not every doorway fits a standard mold. Whether you manage a historic sanctuary, a high-volume restaurant, or a building with unique architectural challenges, 911 Glass & Doors provides the expertise to install, repair, and retrofit specialty openings. We look beyond the standard aluminum storefront to service the unique entrances that give your business its character and functionality.
Hospitality & Food Service Doors
Commercial Cooler & Freezer Doors
Energy efficiency is critical for convenience stores and restaurants. If your cold storage door has a torn gasket or a broken heater wire, you are losing money every minute. We install and repair commercial-grade doors for walk-in coolers, freezers, and beer caves.
​
-
Seal Integrity: Replacement of worn gaskets and sweeps to maintain temperature and prevent health code violations.
-
Hardware Repair: Heavy-duty latches, cam-lift hinges, and hydraulic closers designed for cold environments.
Restaurant Traffic & Impact Doors
Kitchens are high-impact zones. We supply and install heavy-duty Kitchen Impact Doors designed to withstand the abuse of carts, servers, and constant motion.
​
-
Double Acting Doors: We install swing doors that open in both directions (double acting) to maximize traffic flow between the kitchen and dining room.
-
Durability: Reinforced bumpers and gravity hinges ensure these doors close immediately after use, keeping noise and odors contained.
-
Applications: Commercial kitchens, grocery stockrooms, and wash-down prep areas.
Institutional & Historic Buildings
Historic Building Restoration
Savannah’s architecture is defined by its history. We understand the delicate balance of updating an entrance for modern security while preserving its character. We upgrade vintage doors to meet ADA accessibility and Life Safety Codes without compromising the building's original style.
​
-
Custom Wood Door Replacement: Restoration of rotted or damaged stiles and rails to match the original period look.
-
Non-Standard Glazing: Replacement of vintage or odd-shaped glass lites (panes).
-
Concealed Hardware: Updating locking mechanisms and closers to remain invisible and historically accurate.
Church & Sanctuary Doors
Sanctuary doors are often massive, heavy, and ornate. Over time, standard pivots fail, causing these heavy doors to sag and drag on the floor. We specialize in retrofitting these openings to ensure they open effortlessly for your congregation.
​
-
Continuous "Full Surface" Hinges: We replace failing pivots with heavy-duty Continuous Geared Hinges. These "Full Surface" hinges run the entire length of the door, distributing the weight evenly to permanently correct sagging.
-
Panic Hardware Retrofits: Installation of code-compliant exit devices (crash bars) that function smoothly without ruining the aesthetic of the wood doors.
Weather Protection & Storm Prep
Storm Hardening & Water Intrusion
Living on the coast requires vigilance. Standard commercial doors often fail against wind-driven rain and hurricane-force pressure. We fortify your existing entrances to prevent leaks and protect your building envelope during Savannah's severe weather season.
​
Key Services:
-
Heavy-Duty Thresholds & Sweeps: Installation of high-performance, gasketed seals to strictly block water ingress at the floor level.
-
Latch & Frame Reinforcement: Strengthening locking points to prevent doors from being blown open by negative wind pressure.
Coastal Corrosion & Damage Repair
Salt air and humidity are silent destroyers of commercial hardware. If your doors are rusted, seized, or were damaged during a recent storm, we provide rapid restoration to secure your facility.
Capabilities:
-
Rust Remediation: Replacing rotted hollow metal doors with galvanized or fiberglass rust-proof alternatives.
-
Post-Storm Realignment: Emergency repair of doors twisted or misaligned by high wind loads, ensuring they close and lock properly again.
