Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to adjust a commercial door closer?
Closer adjustment alone is typically a single service-call visit at the $150 minimum. Full LCN, Norton, or Dorma closer replacement runs $275–$650 depending on hardware grade and mounting (regular arm vs parallel arm vs hold-open). Diagnosis is included in the visit — if it just needs a sweep-speed and latch-speed turn, that's the visit.
Can you replace a panic bar?
Yes. Von Duprin, Detex, and Falcon panic exit hardware — repair or full replacement. Typical repair $275–$550; full replacement $525–$1,100 depending on hardware grade. We also handle push-bar dogging hardware, strike replacement, and end-cap repairs.
Do you do dock-door hardware?
Yes — minor dock-door hardware. Container T-handle replacement, dock-door lock-rod repair, keeper-plate welding, dock-door sweep replacement. Single latch $150–$425; full dock-door hardware refresh $650–$1,400 per door. We do not replace the dock door panel itself or service hydraulic dock levelers — that's a dock-equipment specialist.
Will NHS work with my facility-management aggregator?
Yes. We have national-account work-order experience with multi-site retail and small-office facility management aggregators — Best Buy, Aspen Dental, Walgreens, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Total Wine, Hollister, PacSun, Restoration Hardware. Net-30 / Net-45 PO terms available. Send the work order to [email protected] or your dispatch portal contact and we'll respond same business day.
Can you certify a fire-rated door assembly?
No. NHS does not certify fire-rated door assemblies. Fire-door annual inspection and certification under NFPA 80 must be done by a qualified fire-door inspector — we'll refer you to one. We can repair or replace individual hardware components on a fire-rated assembly using listed, compatible parts, but the certification itself is out of scope.
Do you keep storefront-door parts in stock?
Case-by-case. Common closers (LCN 4040, Norton 1601), standard panic bars, and generic push/kick plates we keep on hand or can source same-day from local commercial hardware suppliers. Specialty hardware — manufacturer-specific aluminum storefront parts, custom finishes, electrified hardware — typically 1–3 business days to source. We confirm parts availability before scheduling the visit.
What's the typical response time on a stuck commercial door?
Same business day callback. On-site response is usually within 24–48 hours for non-emergency commercial work; faster on retainer accounts and for active safety issues (panic bar failed, exit door won't latch). Emergency weekend rates available on retainer accounts.
