Commercial locksmith
A door that drags, will not latch, or slams open is a security and liability problem. We get it operating correctly the same day.
Commercial door repair
A commercial door that drags on the floor, will not latch, or refuses to stay shut is not just an annoyance. It is a security gap and a potential liability. Customers notice a broken closer that lets a heavy door slam. A misaligned aluminum storefront that no longer latches fully is an open invitation after hours. These are working parts on a working building, and when they fail the repair needs to happen fast.
J&M Locksmith has been servicing commercial doors and hardware for Atlanta businesses since 2013. We are insured, carry a full range of replacement parts on the van, and can provide a certificate of insurance before we touch your property. We quote the repair on the phone, confirm the final price before we start, and aim to have the door operating correctly on the first visit.
There is a separate door installation service for cases where a door or frame is truly beyond repair. Most of the calls we get are not that situation. A sagging door usually needs hinges tightened or replaced. A door that will not latch usually needs the strike plate repositioned or the closer adjusted. A dragging storefront door is often a pivot pin or a worn hinge, not a new door.
We diagnose before we quote. If the frame is damaged beyond what a repair will fix, we will tell you that honestly so you are not paying for a patch that does not hold.
High-traffic commercial doors take thousands of open-close cycles a year. Hinges wear and loosen. Closer springs fatigue. Pivot pins on aluminum storefront doors develop play. Latch bolts begin to miss the strike plate as the frame settles. Weatherstripping compresses and stops sealing.
Most of these failures are gradual, which is why they often go unaddressed until a door will not close properly the night before an inspection or a tenant calls in a complaint. Catching a worn hinge before the screw holes strip makes the repair cheaper and faster. We are happy to do a quick hardware check while we are on site for any other job.
We repair and replace hinges and continuous hinges on wood, steel, and aluminum doors. We service and replace door closers, including surface-mounted, concealed, and floor-spring types. We adjust or replace latch sets and strike plates so the bolt seats correctly. We replace pivot pins and floor pivots on aluminum storefront and glass doors. We replace weatherstripping and thresholds to seal the gap and reduce energy loss. Hardware that is loose, stripped, or cracked gets tightened or swapped on the spot.
What we repair
Most commercial door problems trace back to one of four areas. We diagnose the cause on site and carry the common replacement parts so most repairs wrap up the same day.

Surface-mounted, concealed-arm, and floor-spring closers that slam, do not close fully, or have a broken spring. We adjust closing speed and latch speed, or replace the unit when adjustment is not enough.

A door that will not latch usually means the bolt is missing the strike plate. We reposition the plate, enlarge or reinforce the pocket, and adjust the latch so it seats firmly every time.

Torn or compressed weatherstripping and damaged thresholds let in drafts, water, and noise. We replace the seals and set the threshold so the door closes cleanly without dragging.
How it works
We match the repair to the actual failure, not the most expensive option. You know the price and the plan before we pick up a tool, and we carry the common parts so most jobs close out same day.
Tell us the door type (steel, aluminum storefront, wood) and what it is doing. We ask a few questions to arrive with the right parts.
Based on what you describe, we give you a price range before we dispatch. Final price is confirmed on site before we start.
We check the full door, not just the reported symptom, to make sure the repair addresses the real cause.
We make the repair, adjust the hardware, and cycle the door several times to confirm it latches, closes, and operates correctly before we leave.
Cost and options
Most commercial door repairs run $95 to $295, depending on what failed and what parts are needed. A hinge tighten and closer adjustment at the low end, a full closer replacement or continuous hinge swap at the higher end. We quote after a short phone conversation about the door and the symptom.
The price we give you on the phone covers the trip and the diagnostic. If additional parts are needed beyond what was described, we tell you before we add them. Nothing gets installed without your approval.
Final price confirmed before work starts. The phone quote includes the trip. Parts needed beyond what was described are approved by you before installation.
