We take Moundville work across the whole town, the AL-69 corridor through Main Street, and we cross into Greensboro and Livingston on the same trips.
Moundville 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.

- A hollow metal door sounds loose when it shutsThe internal stiffening has separated from the skin, often after an impact.
- The door has started dragging only in the afternoonThermal expansion of a metal door and frame across the working day, which points to a marginal reveal.
- The door slams hard enough to shake the wallCloser backcheck and closing speed out of adjustment.
- The electric strike buzzes but the door will not openStrike alignment or power supply issue, and often a door that is binding under pressure.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How conditions in Moundville affect commercial door repair
The wet winter and dry late-summer cycle here is severe enough that a door adjusted perfectly in February can bind badly by September.
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.
Buildings move, and a commercial frame that has shifted with the slab under it puts the latch out of line with the strike, which is the single most common reason a business ends up with a back door that will not lock.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Moundville summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Moundville: sustained humidity and soil movement — typical of the Black Belt.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our commercial door repair process
- Get the opening secure firstIf the door cannot be secured, that gets solved before anything else, even if the full repair needs parts.
- 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 hours where we canRetail, restaurant and clinic doors often need to be worked on outside of trading hours, and we plan for that.
- Specify to the environmentKitchen, loading bay and customer entrance are three different specifications, and we fit to the one in front of us.
- 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. We note the reveal measurements on clay-soil jobs so that if it shifts again there is a baseline to compare against.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of commercial door repair in Moundville
What a commercial door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- hardware grade and whether it is fire-rated
- the number of openings serviced in one visit
- after-hours or emergency response
- access control components on the opening
- whether the frame needs repair as well as the door
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 Moundville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Commercial door repair in Moundville: 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.
Why does our hardware keep failing when the house across the street has hardware that lasts forever?
Cycle count. A busy Moundville 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 service fire-rated doors?
Yes. Fire doors have specific requirements for gaps, closing, latching and hardware, and they are the doors most likely to fail inspection because someone propped them or replaced hardware with the wrong parts.
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 Moundville businesses with multiple entrances and staff turnover.
Is it worth repairing an old commercial door or should we replace it?
Hollow metal doors and aluminum entrances are built to be serviced and are usually worth repairing. We will tell you honestly when a door has reached the point where repair stops making sense.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.
