Most of our Foley calls come from Downtown Foley and the OWA area, though we work the whole Baldwin County side of it and get out to Daphne regularly.
Door problems in Foley tend to sort into two groups: older homes where the frames and jambs have taken decades of weather, and newer builds where the hardware was the cheapest part of the package and has already given up.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How conditions in Foley affect commercial door repair
Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.
Humidity swells wood commercial doors and rusts the internals of hardware on doors that are propped open for ventilation, which is very common in kitchens and back-of-house areas.
Water driven under a commercial door with a failed sweep gets into the floor finish and into stock, and standing water at the threshold rusts out the bottom of a steel door from the inside.
It is why the same repair done properly in Foley lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Foley: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How a Foley commercial door repair visit works
- Secure the opening firstIf the door will not lock, that gets addressed before anything else, even if the full repair needs a return visit.
- Assess door, frame and hardware togetherOn commercial openings the fault is rarely in one component. Closer, hinges, frame and floor all interact.
- Work around your hoursWhere the job allows it we schedule outside trading, because an entrance out of service during business hours costs more than the repair. Coastal jobs get stainless or coated fixings as standard, since anything else here is a return visit waiting to happen.
- Fit hardware rated for the actual trafficThe most common mistake on commercial doors is residential-grade hardware in a commercial opening.
- Adjust for code and accessibilityOpening force, closing speed and latching all get set to the requirements the door has to meet.
- Document what was doneParts, adjustments and anything we flagged but did not do, so you have a record for the next visit or for compliance.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of commercial door repair in Foley
We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a commercial door repair job in Foley, the main variables are these:
- hardware grade and whether it is fire-rated
- whether the frame needs repair as well as the door
- the number of openings serviced in one visit
- access control components on the opening
- after-hours or emergency response
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 Foley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Commercial door repair in Foley: questions we get asked
Can a damaged hollow metal frame be repaired?
Usually. Impact damage at the strike and around the anchors is repairable in place, which avoids pulling the frame out of the wall and redoing the surrounding finishes.
Can you make all our doors work on one key?
Yes. Keyed-alike or master key systems are straightforward to set up and make a real difference for Foley businesses with multiple entrances and staff turnover.
Why does our hardware keep failing when the house across the street has hardware that lasts forever?
Cycle count. A busy Foley storefront door might see more use in a month than a residential front door sees in a year. Grade 1 commercial hardware exists for exactly this reason.
Our door slams so hard it shakes the wall. What is wrong?
The closer's closing speed and latch speed are out of adjustment, or the closer has failed internally. Beyond the noise, slamming destroys hinges, frames and the door itself.
Do you offer scheduled maintenance for multiple properties?
Yes. For property managers in and around Foley it is far cheaper to have doors adjusted on a schedule than to pay emergency call-outs when they fail.
Our back door will not latch unless someone pulls it. Is that serious?
It is a security failure and often an insurance issue. A door resting closed but not latched is not locked. It is usually a closer or hinge adjustment, and it should be dealt with quickly.
