In this blog entry, the professional Albuquerque lock repair service team here at 505 Locksmith New Mexico will detail the most common door lock and door security hardware issues that we repair.
Access Control System Electricity Problems
Electrified access control hardware like electric strikes become useless when electrical issues like wiring damage or power failures manifest. Commercial door repair services can help ensure that access control technology can continue to function properly, and can address the electrical wiring issues that negatively affect access control system operation.
Warping Doors
When doors are exposed to wet weather, humidity, or extreme temperatures they can warp over time – like metal doors swelling in the Summer, or wooden doors getting swollen in the Winter. Warping doors at their worst will require replacement, but some repair / maintenance service can correct door warping when in progress.
General Wear
With regular use, doors and locks experience much wear and tear. This is most often seen in main / front entrances, since this is where the most foot traffic moves through. heavy foot traffic can rapidly wear down individual components of doors, making doors / locks require preventative maintenance service more regularly.
Hinges and Pivots
Hinges and pivots are essential components of your door that are fully responsible for allowing your door to swing open and close. Pivots, hinges, and continuous hinges easily wear out over time. You can tell if your door hinges need attention when doors squeak when opening or closing. Professional door hardware repair service can easily replace worn down hinges and pivots, bringing your door to good as new operational condition.
Door Closer Issues
Door closers commonly experience issues – impeding their ability to prevent doors from opening too far backwards or smoothly close with adequate latch speed. Door closer latch speed has to be correctly adjusted so doors close completely and don’t slam shut. Some door closer issues can be handled with a simple adjustment, but in many other cases door closers need to be fully replaced by a professional Albuquerque door hardware repair team like 505 Locksmith.
