Whether you are near the Tuskegee National Forest, over in Main Street, or on the the AL-14 corridor side of Notasulga, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
A lot of what we see in Macon 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why storefront door repair fails in the Black Belt
Black Belt soil is the reason so many doors in this part of Alabama do not close right. That dark prairie clay swells dramatically when saturated and shrinks in a dry August, and a house sitting on it moves with it.
Humidity and condensation work on the steel components inside aluminum entrance hardware, and the deadlatch and cylinder are the first things to stiffen up.
Building movement racks an aluminum storefront frame, and because these doors are set to fine tolerances, even small movement stops the deadlatch reaching its keeper cleanly.
We factor that in on every storefront door repair job around the Tuskegee National Forest and the rest of Notasulga.
Local factors we account for in Notasulga: sustained humidity and soil movement — typical of the Black Belt.

- Check the corners of the doorA dropped bottom rail is the single most common storefront failure, and it mimics half a dozen other faults.
- Check the closer independentlyWe disconnect and test the closer separately so we know whether the resistance is the closer or the door binding.
- Secure before we finishIf the deadlatch or the cylinder is the problem, the door is made lockable before we leave, whatever else is outstanding.
- 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 set to accessible limits, with the latch speed adjusted so it closes without slamming. We note the reveal measurements on clay-soil jobs so that if it shifts again there is a baseline to compare against.
- Work to your scheduleWe plan around trading hours so the entrance is not out of service during business.

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 Notasulga, the main variables are these:
- hardware grade and ADA compliance requirements
- frame damage from forced entry
- whether the pivots, closer, or both need replacing
- concealed and floor closers versus surface mounted units
- 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 Notasulga.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Storefront door repair in Notasulga: questions we get asked
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.
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.
Why is our door so hard for customers to open?
Usually the closer has been cranked up to force a misaligned door to latch. That is treating the symptom. Fix the alignment and the closer can go back to a comfortable setting that still latches.
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.
Can you add a panic bar to our storefront door?
Yes, and depending on the occupancy of your Notasulga building it may be required. Exit devices can be fitted to most aluminum storefront doors.
Can you fix the door so it does not slam on customers?
Yes. That is closer adjustment, and it also needs to meet accessibility requirements for opening force. A properly set closer should let a customer through comfortably and still latch the door every time.
