COMMERCIAL DOOR HARDWARE

Whether you have a door that slams shut, won't latch, stays partially open, or has worn or damaged hardware, we can evaluate the complete door opening and determine what needs attention.

Call (360) 661-8298 to schedule commercial door hardware service.

 

Commercial Door Closer Installation & Repair

Door closers control the movement of a commercial door and help it return to the closed position after someone passes through.

When a closer isn't operating correctly, the door may slam, close too slowly, fail to latch, or remain partially open.

NorthWest Lock & Key provides commercial door closer installation, replacement, and adjustment for many common commercial doors.

Common door closer problems include:

• Door slams shut

• Door closes too slowly

• Door won't close completely

• Door closes but doesn't latch

• Door is difficult to open

• Closer is leaking fluid

• Closer arm is loose or damaged

• Door stays partially open

• Closing speed is inconsistent

• Existing closer is worn or damaged

We'll evaluate the closer along with the door, hinges, latch, and strike before determining the appropriate repair.

 

Door Closer Adjustment

A door closer that is otherwise in good condition may simply need adjustment.

Depending on the closer, adjustments may affect different portions of the closing cycle, such as the general closing speed and final latching movement.

The goal is for the door to close in a controlled manner while still having enough force to reliably latch.

If the closer is leaking, damaged, or excessively worn, adjustment may not solve the underlying problem and replacement may be necessary.

 

Commercial Door Closer Replacement

Door closers experience thousands of operating cycles and eventually wear out.

When replacement is necessary, selecting the appropriate closer is important. Commercial doors vary significantly in size, weight, location, traffic, and application.

We can evaluate the existing door and closer to determine an appropriate replacement and professionally install and adjust the new hardware.

 

Commercial Lever Locks

Commercial lever locks are commonly used throughout offices, retail spaces, facilities, and other businesses.

NorthWest Lock & Key installs, repairs, replaces, and rekeys many common commercial lever locks.

We can help with:

• Loose commercial levers

• Worn locksets

• Latches that won't retract

• Keys that are difficult to turn

• Locks that won't secure

• New commercial lever installation

• Replacement commercial locks

• Rekeying existing commercial levers

• Keying multiple locks alike

We can also help select the appropriate lock function based on how the door is used.

 

Panic Bars & Exit Devices

Exit devices—often called panic bars or push bars—allow occupants to open certain commercial doors from the inside by pushing against the exit hardware.

Problems with exit devices can prevent a door from latching or operating properly.

Depending on the hardware and application, NorthWest Lock & Key can provide service for many common exit-device related issues, including:

• Door won't latch

• Push bar is difficult to operate

• Latch doesn't retract correctly

• Exterior trim problems

• Lock cylinder problems

• Loose hardware

• Worn components

• Strike alignment

• Key operation problems

• Replacement of compatible hardware

Because exit doors can be subject to building, fire, and life-safety requirements, appropriate listed hardware and installation are important.

 

Storefront Door Hardware

Aluminum storefront doors use specialized narrow-stile hardware that differs from typical residential doors.

NorthWest Lock & Key services many common storefront door components, including:

• Deadlatches

• Hook bolts

• Mortise cylinders

• Storefront lock cylinders

• Interior paddles

• Exterior levers

• Thumbturns

• Electric strikes

• Door closers

• Latches and strikes

• Other compatible narrow-stile hardware

If your storefront door is difficult to lock, doesn't latch, or requires excessive force to operate, we'll evaluate the complete opening rather than automatically replacing the lock.

 

Door Latches & Strikes

A commercial lock can be working perfectly while the door still refuses to latch.

Problems with the strike, hinges, closer, door alignment, or frame can prevent the latch or deadbolt from properly engaging.

Common symptoms include:

• Door bounces back open

• Door must be pushed to latch

• Latch hits the strike

• Deadbolt won't extend

• Door locks when open but not when closed

• Door won't remain secured

We can inspect the door and hardware to determine where the problem is occurring.

 

Commercial Door Alignment

Commercial doors can shift over time due to heavy use, loose hardware, building movement, hinge wear, or other factors.

Poor alignment can affect nearly every piece of hardware on the door.

You may notice that the door:

• Rubs against the frame

• Doesn't close completely

• Requires excessive force

• Won't latch consistently

• Has uneven gaps

• Causes the lock to bind

• Doesn't work properly with the door closer

Correcting the underlying alignment issue can sometimes prevent unnecessary replacement of otherwise functional lock hardware.

 

Commercial Hinges & Door Hardware

Hinges carry the weight of the door and play an important role in proper lock and closer operation.

Loose, worn, or damaged hinges can cause the door to sag and create problems with the latch, strike, lock, and closer.

Depending on the door and application, we can evaluate existing hinge and related hardware issues and determine what repairs or replacement may be appropriate.

 

Commercial Door Hardware Installation

NorthWest Lock & Key can install a variety of commercial door and locking hardware for new installations and existing-door upgrades.

Depending on the application, this may include:

• Door closers

• Commercial lever locks

• Deadbolts

• Storefront locks

• Deadlatches

• Lock cylinders

• Strikes

• Exit-device components

• Keypad locks

• Electronic locking hardware

• Electric strikes

• High-security cylinders

We'll evaluate the door and application before recommending hardware.

 

Repair or Replace Commercial Door Hardware?

Commercial-grade hardware can be expensive, so replacing an entire assembly isn't always the best first step.

When practical, we can repair or adjust existing quality hardware.

Replacement may be appropriate when the hardware is:

• Severely worn

• Physically damaged

• Leaking or failing

• Missing components

• No longer reliable

• Improper for the application

• Obsolete or difficult to service

We'll explain what we find and discuss the available options.

 

Door Hardware for Access Control Systems

Mechanical door hardware is an important part of a reliable access control system.

NorthWest Lock & Key can evaluate and install compatible hardware for electronic access applications, including components such as:

• Electric strikes

• Electrified locking hardware

• Storefront deadlatches

• Mechanical key override cylinders

• Request-to-exit hardware

• Door closers

• Credential-controlled entrances

Proper door operation is critical. An access control system can't reliably secure a door that doesn't close and latch correctly.
