Charleston & Summerville, SC
Repair, replacement, hardware and hollow-metal frame work for commercial steel doors – done by a licensed, insured, family-run locksmith team that shows up when scheduled.
Steel doors take a beating from salt air, foot traffic and forced-entry attempts. When a hollow-metal door drags, a frame racks, or a hinge tears out of the jamb, you need someone who works on these doors every week – not a handyman guessing at it.
Kadosh’s locksmith team is fully licensed and insured, covering Charleston, Summerville and the surrounding communities. You get proof of coverage before we touch your door.
The Kadosh family runs this shop. You talk to the people doing the work, and the same crew stands behind it.
Mul-T-Lock and Lockly certified, plus ALOA membership and BBB accreditation. We spec and install locks that actually fit a steel door and frame.
We assess the door, frame and hardware on site and give you a written estimate before any work starts – no surprise line items.

Pro tip from our techs
When a heavy steel door starts scraping the floor or won’t latch, most people assume the door sagged. In coastal buildings, it’s often the hollow-metal frame shifting or a hinge screw pulling loose from years of slamming. Before you replace a perfectly good door, have the frame and hinges checked – a $150 hinge and closer adjustment frequently solves what looks like a full-door problem. And in Charleston’s salt air, a little rust at the bottom hinge is an early warning: catch it before it eats through the jamb.
Our promise: if a steel door we serviced isn’t opening, latching and locking the way it should, we come back and make it right.

“Our back exit door hadn’t latched in months and failed a safety check. Kadosh reset the frame, replaced the closer and had the panic bar working the same afternoon. Passed inspection the next day.”

Most of the time we can repair it. Dragging, sticking and latch problems usually come from the frame, hinges or closer rather than the door itself. We assess it on site and only recommend replacement when the door or hollow-metal frame is genuinely too far gone.
