Hollow Metal Door Repair, Installation, and Service

Hollow metal doors are common in commercial buildings, so we regularly repair, replace, and service them. If you need help with yours, contact us for a free quote to get them back into perfect shape.

How Hollow Metal Doors Work

Hollow metal doors have a solid exterior with a hollow core. They can be equipped with exterior locking mechanisms requiring a key or combination, along with deadbolts, cylinders, or lever handles, to secure your business from unauthorized entry. When the interior is locked and the exterior is secured, only people with a key or combination can open the door.

Common Issues We Service

Hollow metal doors are a simple, inexpensive way to secure and control access to rooms and buildings. Our AAADM-certified experts have years of experience repairing, installing, and maintaining hollow metal doors for business owners. If you are looking for a door specialist, call us anytime. We provide 24/7 emergency service. Here are some common issues we can help with:

Dents and Surface Damage

Hollow metal doors can become dented and damaged from heavy use or accidental impacts, affecting their appearance and performance. We provide professional repair services to restore your door’s surface and ensure it operates correctly.

Misaligned Door Frames

Door frames can shift or settle over time and become misaligned. This can cause hollow metal doors to stick or fail to latch correctly, compromising security and your ability to use them. Our team realigns door frames for smooth operation and secure closure.

Rust and Corrosion

A steel door exposed to moisture and weather is susceptible to rust and corrosion, weakening its structure and reducing its lifespan. We offer rust removal and protective treatments to extend the life and integrity of your doors.

Sticking or Binding

Doors that stick or bind due to humidity, wear and tear, or alignment issues can be frustrating and may pose a safety risk in emergencies. Our technicians identify the underlying cause and provide the necessary repairs to restore smooth operation.

Broken or Worn-Out Hardware

Hinges, locks, and door closers wear out, break, or become loose, impacting the door’s security and use. We specialize in replacing and upgrading hardware to keep your doors secure and efficient.

Air Leaks or Poor Insulation

If your hollow metal commercial doors are not correctly sealed, they cause energy inefficiencies. Our team provides sealing and insulation solutions to improve energy efficiency and maintain a comfortable working environment.

Warping

Though rare, hollow metal doors can warp due to extreme temperature fluctuations or improper installation, making it difficult to close or latch the door properly. We offer solutions to fix warped doors, ensuring they function smoothly and securely.

Fire Rating Compliance Issues

Hollow metal doors can be used in fire-rated assemblies, but damage, wear, or improper installation can compromise fire resistance. We provide inspections and repairs for fire doors, crucial to meeting local fire codes and maintaining compliance with fire safety regulations.

Security Vulnerabilities

Over time, hollow metal doors can develop vulnerabilities, like weakened areas around locks or hinges, making them easier to tamper. We reinforce these areas and install security upgrades, like high-grade locks and additional commercial door hardware, to enhance the door’s strength and security.

Soundproofing Issues

In certain environments, hollow metal doors may not provide sufficient sound insulation. We address soundproofing concerns by adding insulation or recommending door replacements that offer better noise control.

Hollow Metal Door Installation Service

We specialize in installing high-quality hollow steel doors that provide strong security barriers with advanced security features. Whether you want to protect restricted areas, control entry and exit points, or enhance your overall building security, we will ensure your doors meet your needs. Here are some security enhancements hollow metal doors can provide:

One-Way Entry: Control traffic flow and reduce the risk of unauthorized entry by requiring entry and exit through a single point, ideal for managing access to areas like parking lots or back entrances.
Durability and Strength: Hollow metal doors are built to provide uniform quality across all installations, ensuring that every door meets the same high standards of durability, strength, and security, no matter the application.
Access Control: Hollow metal doors can be integrated with access control systems, allowing you to regulate who can enter or exit the building based on identity verification methods such as keypads, ID scanners, or biometric systems.
Quick Entry: Quick entry systems, such as keycards or keypad combinations, allow authorized users to enter and exit the building quickly without needing traditional keys, improving convenience and added security by preventing unauthorized access.
Remote Entry: Remote entry technology enables doors to be unlocked from a distance using smart devices or centralized systems. This is especially useful for immediate access, such as deliveries or after-hours employee entry, while maintaining control over who enters the premises.
Consecutive Entry: Also known as a security vestibule or mantrap, this setup involves two doors that require separate clearance to access a building, adding another layer of security by preventing unauthorized individuals from tailgating or bypassing the system.
Reinforced Locking Systems: Upgrading your hollow metal doors with reinforced locking mechanisms, including deadbolts or high-security locks, helps prevent forced entry.
Panic Hardware: Hollow metal doors can be equipped with panic hardware that allows quick and easy exit during an emergency while maintaining a secure entry point.
