A restaurant's doors take a beating: constant traffic during service, deliveries through the back, and doors propped open in the kitchen for airflow. Over time hardware wears out and doors stop closing or locking properly.
Common Issues We See
- Door closers that no longer pull the door fully shut, leaving it unlatched
- Misaligned strike plates after a frame shifts slightly, causing the deadbolt to bind
- Worn hinges that let a heavy kitchen door sag
- Weather stripping and thresholds that let a door swell and stick
Locksmith vs. General Contractor
If the problem is with the lock, latch, strike, or closer, a locksmith is usually the faster and less expensive call. If the frame itself is damaged or the door needs to be rehung, that crosses into general carpentry. We can tell you which situation you're in during the visit.
Don't Ignore a Door That Won't Latch
A door that looks closed but isn't actually latched is a common overnight security gap in restaurants. See storefront door lock repair for related storefront issues.
