Restaurant, Cooler & Freezer Door Services
911 Glass & Doors repairs and replaces specialty doors for restaurants, commercial kitchens, convenience stores, walk-in coolers, freezers, beer caves, and high-traffic food service 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 support modern security, accessibility, and life-safety needs while preserving the original character of the opening. 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 exit devices and panic hardware designed to support safe egress while preserving the appearance of ornate wood or specialty entrance doors.
Weather Protection & Storm Prep
Storm Hardening and 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 help reduce water intrusion at the floor level.

Latch & Frame Reinforcement: Strengthening locking points to prevent doors from being blown open by negative wind pressure.
