Disclaimer

General information only

Descriptions of failures, repairs, and hardware on this site are general. Commercial openings vary enormously by construction, hardware family, age, and how they have previously been repaired, and no web page can account for that.

Code and standards references

Where standards such as NFPA 80, NFPA 101, ADA requirements, or ANSI/BHMA grading are mentioned, they are referenced to explain why work is done a particular way. They are summarized, not reproduced, and adoption and enforcement vary by jurisdiction and by the edition your local authority has adopted.

Do not treat anything here as a compliance determination for your building. That comes from the authority having jurisdiction or a qualified inspector.

Do-it-yourself attempts

Nothing here is an instruction to attempt a repair yourself. Door assemblies are heavy, spring-loaded hardware stores energy, and a mistake on an egress or rated door can carry safety and legal consequences well beyond the cost of the original repair.

Pricing information

Cost tables on this site describe what drives a figure, not what a figure will be. Actual pricing depends on the survey, the parts required, access conditions, and when the work is performed.

Availability and response

Scheduling depends on technician availability, parts, and travel conditions across the Charlotte metro. Nothing on this site guarantees a specific arrival time; a realistic window is given on the call.

External links

Any link to a manufacturer, standards body, or other outside site is provided for convenience. We do not control that content and are not responsible for it.

Photography and imagery

Images on this site illustrate the categories of work described. They do not depict a specific customer's premises, and they should not be read as a promise that your opening will be built or finished the same way.
