From glass storefronts to industrial overhead doors — we work on all commercial door types found in Madison businesses.
Common in Madison retail and office buildings. These lightweight doors often have integrated panic bars. Repair requires precise alignment to prevent sticking in cold weather.
Heavy-duty doors found in industrial and back-of-house areas. Panic bars on hollow metal doors must handle frequent use and high traffic without binding.
Framed glass doors are popular in Madison restaurants and lobbies. Panic bar attachments must be carefully installed to avoid glass damage and maintain aesthetics.
Used in older Madison buildings and some new construction. Wood doors require special fasteners and hardware that comply with fire ratings while ensuring panic bar function.
Preparing Madison commercial doors for harsh seasonal conditions
Madison’s harsh winters can cause metal panic bars to contract, leading to sticking or misalignment. Snow and ice buildup near thresholds also prevents doors from opening fully. Our technicians winterize exit hardware and adjust tension to handle temperature swings, keeping your emergency exits reliable all season.
In summer, humidity and heat can warp wooden door frames or cause expansion in aluminum doors, affecting panic bar operation. Regular seasonal maintenance—including lubrication, cam adjustments, and latch inspection—prevents emergency failures. We recommend a biannual tune-up for every Madison commercial property.
Tip: Schedule a pre-winter door inspection in Madison 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 bar feels sticky or requires extra force to push, the latch or linkage is worn. This is common in Madison’s older buildings and can become a safety hazard.
Squeaks usually mean dry or corroded internal parts. Left unchecked, the mechanism can seize up, making the exit door unreliable during an emergency.
If the panic bar stays pushed in after use, the spring mechanism is broken. This prevents the door from latching properly, compromising security and code compliance.
A panic bar that requires more than 15 pounds of force to activate indicates a mechanical bind or misalignment. This violates ADA and fire code requirements.
