If you are anywhere between the courthouse square and the US-278 corridor, or out toward the Winston County Courthouse and the Dual Destiny statue, we cover it, along with the rest of Winston County.
Double Springs has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

West Alabama collects a lot of rain, and it comes in hard bursts. Doors here fail at the bottom first, where water sits against the sweep and the end grain.
Driving rain gets under a storefront door with a worn sweep and across the floor inside, and the water that collects in the threshold corrodes the bottom pivot housing.
A gust catching a storefront door with no overhead stop drives it past its limit and destroys the closer arm, and repeated wind loading is what works a door off its pivots.
It is why the same repair done properly in Double Springs lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Double Springs: heavy rainfall and storm wind — typical of west Alabama.

- Start at the pivotAlmost every storefront complaint traces back to the top or bottom pivot. That is where we look before touching the closer.
- Check the closer independentlyWe disconnect and test the closer separately so we know whether the resistance is the closer or the door binding.
- Secure before we finishIf the deadlatch or the cylinder is the problem, the door is made lockable before we leave, whatever else is outstanding.
- Reset and square the doorPivots set, door squared in the opening, latch engaging cleanly without lifting or pulling.
- Set the closer to codeOpening force and closing speed set to accessible limits, with the latch speed adjusted so it closes without slamming.
- Leave the entrance right for customersIt should open with light pressure, close reliably and lock first time. Anything less will be back on your list. We assess whether the opening has shifted before adjusting hardware, since correcting the symptom here tends not to hold.

Pricing on storefront door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- concealed and floor closers versus surface mounted units
- after-hours or emergency scheduling
- frame damage from forced entry
- hardware grade and ADA compliance requirements
- whether the pivots, closer, or both need replacing
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Double Springs.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Double Springs: questions we get asked
Can you fix the door so it does not slam on customers?
Yes. That is closer adjustment, and it also needs to meet accessibility requirements for opening force. A properly set closer should let a customer through comfortably and still latch the door every time.
Can you add a panic bar to our storefront door?
Yes, and depending on the occupancy of your Double Springs building it may be required. Exit devices can be fitted to most aluminum storefront doors.
Do you work on pairs of doors and automatic entrances?
Yes, both. Pairs need coordinated alignment so the astragal seals and both leaves latch, and we service automatic operators as well.
The bottom rail of our door is coming loose. Is that serious?
Yes. The bottom rail holds the glass. Once its connection loosens, the glass is no longer properly supported and the door is on borrowed time.
Someone broke in and bent the frame. Is it repairable?
In most cases. Aluminum frames damaged at the lock and strike can be straightened and reinforced. We secure the opening first and then do the permanent repair.
Water comes under our front door when it storms. What fixes that?
A new sweep and threshold seal, and sometimes correcting the drainage at the entrance. In Winston County storms drive water horizontally, so the seal has to work under pressure, not just gravity.
