Fix Slamming, Dragging, and Dangerous Doors
Commercial glass doors take a beating. Thousands of cycles a year, high winds, and abuse from deliveries eventually lead to failure. A door that slams shut on a customer's heel, or one that requires two hands to heave open, is a major liability for your business. Installix offers specialized commercial glass door repair services across Burlington. We diagnose and fix issues with closers, pivots, hinges, and alignment to ensure your doors are safe, secure, and compliant.
Common Commercial Door Problems
Oil Leaks & Slamming (Failed Closers)
If you see oil dripping from the top of your door frame or on the floor plate, the hydraulic closer has failed. Without hydraulic resistance, the door will slam shut uncontrollably, risking injury and glass breakage.
Dragging & Scraping
If the door scrapes the floor or hits the frame, the pivots or hinges are worn out or the door has sagged. This damages your flooring and can eventually cause the tempered glass to shatter from stress.
Accessibility Risk
AODA regulations require doors to open with minimal force. A seized or broken door prevents access for customers with disabilities and can lead to fines.
The Solution: Hardware Retrofit & Adjustment
We stock a wide range of commercial hardware parts. In many cases, we can repair the door on the first visit. We replace worn pivots, swap out leaking closers, and re-align the door so it centers perfectly and latches securely.
Why Choose Installix?
- All Door Types: We service aluminum storefront doors, frameless herculite glass doors, and automatic operators.
- Continuous Hinges: For doors with failing pivots, we can install a continuous geared hinge ("Roton") to distribute weight evenly and permanently fix sagging.
- Security Checks: We ensure locks and latches align so you can secure your business at night.

Our Process: Diagnostics & Repair
Step 1: Diagnostics
We identify exactly why the door is failing. Is it the closer? The pivot bearing? Frame settlement?
Step 2: Temporary Support
To work on pivots or closers, the heavy glass door must be safely taken down. We have the manpower and tools to do this safely.
Step 3: Part Replacement
We install the new heavy-duty hardware and re-hang the door. We adjust the sweep, latch, and backcheck speeds for optimal performance.
Pricing Factors
- Part Cost: Floor closers are significantly more expensive than surface-mounted closers.
- Labor: Taking down a 300lb glass door requires 2 technicians for safety.
- Complexity: Rusted or seized floor boxes may require chipping out concrete to replace.
Our Service Promise
We offer a Warranty on all new hardware installed. We don't just patch it; we fix it right.
