How an emergency door call works

1

You call, we answer

Tell us the door, the failure, and your address in Charleston or Summerville. We give an arrival window on the spot.

2

On-site diagnosis

Our tech inspects the hardware, frame, and closer, then quotes the repair before any work begins.

3

Repair on the truck

Most exit devices, closers, cylinders, and hinges are fixed the same visit from stocked commercial parts.

4

Test, secure, done

We cycle the door, confirm it latches and closes to code, hand you the keys, and leave the site secure.

Pro tip: what to have ready before we arrive

  • Know the door type - storefront glass, hollow-metal fire door, or dock door. It tells us which parts to load.
  • Note if it's fire-rated. Doors with a metal label on the edge must be repaired with rated hardware - never propped or disabled.
  • Have a manager or key present. Speeds access and lets us hand off keys and access cards on the spot.
  • Photograph the damage. Text it to us and we can often stage the right closer or exit device before dispatch.
  • Don't force a jammed exit device. Pushing harder can bend the latch and turn a repair into a full replacement.
