Pedestrian door repair and new steel man doors

Steel man doors are the doors at the side and back of commercial buildings. We repair every make in Everett, Lynnwood, Edmonds and across King and Snohomish Counties, including doors we didn't install, and install new hollow metal doors and frames.

What is the door doing?

The latch misses the strike or the key will not turn, so the building cannot be locked.

Sagging doorWorn lock or latchStrike out of line

What we do Get the door locking so you can close up, then fix the sag, the lock or the strike that caused it.

Can't lock up? Call, any hour

Door and frame

A hollow metal door hangs in a steel frame anchored into the wall. Both rust from the bottom up, where water sits, and both get bent when someone tries to force the door.

Man door repair comes first

Most steel man doors can be fixed

A closer, a set of hinges, a lock or an exit device can be replaced without replacing the door. When rust has gone through the door and the frame, new ones are the better value, and we will say so.

Usually a repairFix it

  • A closer that slams or leaks oil
  • Worn hinges and a sagging door
  • A lock, lever or panic bar that sticks
  • A door pried at the latch
  • A worn threshold or door sweep

Time for a new doorReplace it

  • Rust through the door or the frame
  • A door bent or twisted out of flat
  • A frame torn loose from the wall
  • The opening now needs a fire-rated door
  • Any make of door

New doors

New pedestrian doors for businesses, installed

Maintenance: regular service catches leaking closers, worn hinges and failing latches before a back door stops locking.

Straight answers

Man door questions we hear most

Not on the list? Call and ask. A person answers.

Call 425-776-5162
Our back door will not lock tonight. What now?

Call 425-776-5162. The line is answered 24 hours a day, and an on-call technician can come out nights, weekends and holidays. If the full repair needs parts, we secure the opening first.

Someone tried to pry the door open. Can it be repaired?

Often it can. A bent latch edge, a damaged lock or a strike can usually be repaired or replaced, and a latch guard can go on over the latch. If the door or frame is bent past straightening, we will price a new one.

Do you repair pedestrian doors you didn't install?

Yes. We repair steel pedestrian doors, frames and hardware of any make, including ones another company put in and ones that came with the building.

The bottom of the door and frame is rusted through. Repair or replace?

Replace. Steel that has rusted through does not come back, so that is a new door, a new frame, or both. Estimates on new door installations are free.

Do you work on fire-rated doors and storefront doors too?

Yes. We repair and install fire-rated doors, and the aluminum and glass storefront doors at the front of the building.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

Yes, for commercial accounts. Ask us about a maintenance schedule for your building.
