Commercial Door Closers

A properly functioning door closer ensures doors close smoothly, latch correctly, and remain compliant with building and fire codes. When closers fail, doors may slam, stick open, or stop latching—creating safety and security concerns.

Our commercial locksmiths service and install door closers for:

Office buildings
Retail storefronts
Restaurants and breweries
Schools, churches, and community buildings
Apartment and mixed-use properties

Door closer services include:

New door closer installation
Adjustment and alignment
Replacement of worn or leaking closers
Fixing doors that slam, drag, or won’t close fully

We work with surface-mounted and concealed closers and ensure proper closing speed and latch control.

Panic Bars & Exit Devices

Panic bars (also called exit devices) allow occupants to exit quickly during emergencies while keeping doors secured from the outside. These systems are required in many commercial and public buildings to meet fire and life safety codes.

We install and service panic bars for:

Retail and grocery stores
Restaurants and bars
Schools and daycare facilities
Offices and commercial suites
Multi-tenant and public-access buildings

Panic bar services include:

New panic bar installation
Replacement of damaged or outdated exit devices
Repairs for sticking or non-latching bars
Hardware upgrades to meet current code requirements

We can help determine whether your doors require panic hardware and ensure it functions properly.

Fire Code & Safety Compliance

Door closers and panic bars play a critical role in fire safety and occupant egress. Improper installation or worn hardware can lead to failed inspections or unsafe conditions.

We help businesses:

Address fire marshal or inspection issues
Replace non-compliant hardware
Ensure doors close and latch as required
Maintain safe and reliable exit paths

While we don’t replace inspectors, we work closely with property managers and business owners to resolve common compliance concerns.

Door closers control how a door opens and closes.
Panic bars allow fast exit during emergencies.

Many commercial doors use both, especially in high-traffic or public-facing spaces. We’ll walk you through your options and recommend solutions based on door type, usage, and code requirements.
