When a commercial exterior door is used hundreds of times a day, small issues turn into big headaches fast. After 30 years in the field, here are the exterior door problems we see most often\u2014and how The Door Company of Ohio tackles them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Door Delamination & Rusted Frames<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your metal door skin is bubbling, separating, or soft, that\u2019s delamination. It often pairs with frame rust, especially at the base where water and debris collect. These are strong indicators that replacement\u2014not repair\u2014is the safest, most cost-effective route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storefront Bottom Pivots Rotted by Salt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

Winter salt wicks into the bottom pivot. Over time, you\u2019ll notice rough operation, scraping, or the door dragging. We\u2019ll evaluate the pivot hardware and sub-sill, and recommend replacement components or a full door\/threshold solution if corrosion is advanced.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leaking Door Closers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That oil on top of the door or on the floor? Your closer is failing. We test swing speed and latching and either adjust or replace the closer so the door closes safely and consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hinges Failing \/ Door Leaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When hinges wear, the door sags and begins hitting the frame at the top or rubbing the latch side. We\u2019ll check hinge type, fasteners, and frame condition, then reset, reinforce, or replace as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line on Commercial Exterior Door Issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your door is scraping, slamming, leaking oil, or visibly corroding, it won\u2019t \u201cheal itself.\u201d Early service keeps your building secure and reduces downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
