Why businesses call Kadosh for door repair

A commercial door that won't latch or drags on the floor isn't just annoying - it's a security gap and a liability. Here's what sets our repairs apart.

Licensed & insured, every job

We're a fully licensed and insured locksmith serving Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry. Your storefront, office, or warehouse door is worked on by credentialed pros - not a handyman.

Family-run Kadosh team

You deal with the same people who own the business. That means straight answers, honest pricing, and technicians who treat your door like it's their own.

Code & fire-rated experience

Exit devices, fire-rated door hardware, and ADA-compliant closers have rules. We repair them so they pass inspection and keep your building compliant.

Certified on the hardware you use

ALOA members with Mul-T-Lock and Lockly certifications - we service high-security locks and modern access hardware, not just basic latches.

What our commercial door repair covers

Whatever's failing on the door, we diagnose it and fix it on site whenever possible.

Door closers & hinges

Slamming, sagging, or slow-to-close doors. We rebuild or replace closers, adjust spring tension, and re-hang doors that have dropped on worn hinges.

Exit devices & panic bars

Sticky or seized panic hardware fixed or replaced so your exits work in an emergency and stay compliant with fire code.

Storefront & aluminum glass doors

Realigned frames, replaced pivots and bottom rails, new deadlatches and pull handles on aluminum commercial doors.

Commercial locks & card readers

Repair and rekey mortise locks, cylinders, and electronic access - including Mul-T-Lock and Lockly systems and card reader hardware.

Fire-rated door hardware

Service fire doors and their closers, latches, and seals so the assembly performs as rated and passes annual inspection.

Loading dock & back-of-house doors

Heavy-use warehouse and dock doors that won't latch, drag, or lock. We restore alignment, hardware, and security.

How a commercial door repair works with us

1

Call & describe the problem

Tell us the door type and what it's doing - won't latch, drags, closer leaking, panic bar stuck. We quote and schedule, often same day.

2

On-site diagnosis

We inspect the door, frame, hinges, closer, and locking hardware to find the real cause - not just the symptom.

3

Repair on the spot

We carry common commercial hardware, so most repairs are completed the same visit with parts that match your door.

4

Test & confirm

We cycle the door, verify latching, closing speed, and locking, and make sure exit and fire hardware operates correctly before we leave.

Pro tip: catch a failing door before it fails

Most emergency commercial door calls we get in Charleston could have been a cheap fix a few weeks earlier. Watch for these warning signs:

  • The door slams or won't fully close - the closer is losing hydraulic fluid; replacing it early prevents a security gap.
  • You have to lift or shove the door to latch it - hinges are sagging or the frame has shifted, and it'll get worse fast.
  • The panic bar is stiff or noisy - that's a fire-code and safety issue that should never wait.
  • Rust streaks or grinding at the bottom rail on aluminum storefront doors - the pivot or bottom rail needs attention.
