Whether you are near the Headland town square, over in Downtown Headland, or on the the square side of Headland, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
A lot of what we see in Henry County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.
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.
Grit accumulates in the bottom pivot and the threshold of an aluminum entrance and grinds the bearing surface, and on a storefront that sees hundreds of cycles a day that wear happens quickly.
None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.
Local factors we account for in Headland: storm wind and blowing sand — typical of the Wiregrass.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What happens when we get there
- Look at the pivot firstOn a sagging storefront door the bottom pivot is the usual culprit, and everything else you might blame is a symptom of it.
- Test the closer on its ownDisconnecting the arm tells us instantly whether the door is heavy or the closer is failing. They need different work.
- Secure before we finishIf the deadlatch or the cylinder is the problem, the door is made lockable before we leave, whatever else is outstanding. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
- 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 adjusted for accessibility and for the actual traffic through the door.
- 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 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 storefront door repair job in Headland, the main variables are these:
- frame damage from forced entry
- whether the pivots, closer, or both need replacing
- concealed and floor closers versus surface mounted units
- glass replacement and whether board-up is needed first
- after-hours or emergency scheduling
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 Headland.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Headland: questions we get asked
Do you replace storefront glass?
Yes, tempered glass for doors, sidelites and transoms. Board-up happens first so you can trade, and the glass follows once the unit is made.
How much does it cost to repair a storefront door versus replacing it?
Repair is dramatically cheaper. Aluminum storefront systems are designed with serviceable parts, and pivots, closers, latches and rails are all replaceable. Replacing an entrance means glass, framing and often the surrounding work.
Why does our storefront door drag at the top corner?
The bottom pivot has worn. The door is pivoting on a bearing that carries its entire weight, and when that wears the door drops and the top outside corner comes down against the frame. Replacing the pivot brings the whole door back into position.
Our front door will not lock at night. Can you come today?
That is exactly the call to make immediately. A Headland business that cannot secure its front entrance has a real problem, and getting the deadlatch working again is usually straightforward once we see it.
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.
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.
