Glass Door Repair

What Glass Door Hardware Do We Repair?

Patch fittings, floor springs (Dorma BTS75, Rixson 27), top pivots, bottom pivots, glass door locks, and hydraulic closers. We don't replace the glass itself, but we handle everything that makes the glass door swing, close, lock, and hang properly.

Frameless glass doors (herculite) are common in professional offices, salons, and boutiques in Boca and Fort Lauderdale. The patch fittings clamp the glass to the floor spring and top pivot. When these loosen or the floor spring fails, the door sags, wobbles, or stops closing. We repair or replace the hardware.

Types of Commercial Glass Door Repairs

• Patch fitting repair: Patch fittings are the metal brackets that hold frameless (herculite) glass doors to the frame and floor. They loosen, crack, or break from daily use. Triton Locksmith replaces patch fittings and realigns the door.
• Floor pivot/closer repair: Glass doors commonly use floor pivots and closers instead of traditional hinges. When the floor closer fails, the door swings freely or does not close. We repair or replace the mechanism.
• Top rail/header repair: The aluminum rail at the top of frameless glass doors houses the top pivot and keeps the glass aligned. Damaged rails cause the door to shift and bind.
• Lock repair/replacement: Storefront locks on glass doors require specialized narrow-profile hardware. Adams Rite and other narrow-stile locks fit the thin aluminum stile.
• Aluminum frame adjustment: Thermal expansion in South Florida causes aluminum-frame glass doors to bind seasonally. We adjust the frame, rollers, and hardware to accommodate expansion.

Frameless vs. Aluminum-Frame Glass Doors

Frameless (herculite) glass doors use tempered glass panels with patch fittings, top rails, and floor pivots. They are common in boutiques, salons, and professional offices. Repairs focus on the hardware (patch fittings, pivots, locks) not the glass itself.

Aluminum-frame glass doors have a full aluminum frame surrounding the glass panel. They are common in storefront entries, office buildings, and strip malls. Repairs include frame adjustment, alignment, roller replacement, and lock service.

Common Glass Door Problems in South Florida

• Door scraping the floor: Worn floor pivot bearing or shifted cement case. We adjust or replace the pivot hardware.
• Door not latching: Misalignment between the lock and strike. We adjust the door alignment and strike plate.
• Door swinging too fast/slow: Floor closer speed out of adjustment or hydraulic fluid degraded. We adjust or replace the closer.
• Patch fitting cracked: Metal fatigue from daily use. We replace the fitting and re-secure the glass panel.

Glass Door Maintenance for South Florida Businesses

South Florida heat, humidity, and salt air create unique challenges for commercial glass doors. Aluminum frames expand in the heat and contract at night, causing hardware to loosen over time. Salt air corrodes steel components (pivots, screws, patch fitting bolts) faster than in inland locations. Triton Locksmith recommends semi-annual maintenance for glass doors at coastal properties and annual maintenance for inland locations across Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach.

During maintenance visits, Triton Locksmith lubricates all pivot points, tightens patch fittings, checks floor closer oil levels, adjusts closing speed, and verifies lock function. This preventive approach extends hardware life from 3-5 years to 8-10 years in South Florida's demanding climate. Call (561) 524-8500 to schedule glass door maintenance.
