The coordinator who scopes your request, the technician who works your opening, and the specialist who signs off on a rated assembly are all named people, and you are told who is coming before they arrive.
Owner and Door Systems Technician
Curtis started as a glazier's helper on aluminum storefront systems and moved into hollow metal and fire door work before going out on his own. He handles surveys, the awkward diagnostic jobs, and anything involving a frame that has moved. His standing rule on site is that nobody quotes a replacement until somebody has put a level on the jamb and written down the number. Outside work he restores small engines badly and cooks well.
Service Coordinator
Renata spent six years in facilities coordination for a regional retail group before coming over, which means she has sat on the other side of this exact phone call. She scopes incoming service requests, chases the details technicians actually need, handles PO references and vendor onboarding portals, and tells you honestly when a window is going to slip. If your building has a landlord approval process, she has probably already read it.
Automatic Door Technician
Marcus works the automatic openings — sliders, swing operators, low-energy units on accessible entrances — and carries the safety-inspection side of that work. He came from commercial electrical and still troubleshoots like an electrician, which is exactly the temperament an operator fault needs. He is the crew member most likely to find that the sensor everyone blamed was fine and the header wiring was chafed.
Hardware and Fire Door Specialist
Hollis handles exit devices, closers, mortise and cylindrical locksets, and the fire door assemblies that carry documentation obligations. Twenty-odd years across institutional and healthcare buildings gave him an unusually literal relationship with listings and labels: if a repair would compromise a rating, he will not do it, and he will explain why in a way that survives an inspector's questions.
Jobs route by opening type first and geography second. An automatic slider goes to Marcus even if somebody else is closer, because sending the wrong technician to arrive sooner just buys a second visit. Rated assemblies and exit devices go to Hollis. Anything where the frame is suspect goes to Curtis.
Van stock, parts lead times, and Charlotte traffic each shape the window you are quoted, and Renata tells you when one of them moves. The technician attending is named to you in advance, every time.
Tell us the opening: what kind of door, what it is doing wrong, and who signs off on the repair. A service coordinator will scope it with you before anyone quotes a number.
