From glass storefronts to industrial overhead doors — we work on all commercial door types found in Milwaukee businesses.
Surface-mounted on the door face, rim devices are the most common and cost-effective option for single metal or wood doors. Simple to install and maintain, ideal for high-traffic Milwaukee storefronts.
Used on pairs of doors or doors without a mullion. Rods extend into the top and bottom of the door frame. They provide a clean look and reliable latching, popular in Milwaukee office buildings.
These fit into a mortise pocket cut into the door. They offer a sleek appearance and integrate with standard locksets. Often specified in newer Milwaukee commercial construction for durability.
Fully hidden within the door, these provide a seamless aesthetic. Common in high-end retail or glass storefronts in Milwaukee where design matters, but still meet panic hardware code requirements.
Preparing Milwaukee commercial doors for harsh seasonal conditions
Freezing temps and heavy snow can cause panic bars to stick, frost over, or misalign. Thermal contraction in metal doors and frames shifts the strike plate, making the bar hard to engage. We use cold-weather rated hardware and adjust gaps seasonally to keep exits functioning.
Salt and moisture from plowed parking lots accelerate corrosion on exposed hardware. Routine maintenance – lubrication, sealing, and alignment checks – can prevent midwinter failures. Our Milwaukee service team offers seasonal inspections so your emergency exits work when you need them most.
Tip: Schedule a pre-winter door inspection in Milwaukee before temperatures drop — closers and seals need adjustment to perform through subzero conditions.
Don't wait for a door failure to disrupt your business — watch for these common warning signs.
If the door scrapes the frame when opening, hinges or alignment may be off. This puts pressure on the panic bar and can cause premature wear. Call us before it becomes a safety hazard.
When the bar doesn't fully retract the latch or rod, the door may not secure. This is a code violation and a security risk. Immediate repair or replacement is needed.
Grinding, squeaking, or popping sounds indicate worn internal parts or loose hardware. Ignoring it leads to sudden failure during an emergency. A technician can diagnose the root cause.
Milwaukee's freeze-thaw cycle and road salt accelerate rust on exposed metal. Corrosion weakens the mechanism and can cause the bar to seize. Replace affected components quickly.
