When you have a business location where you have customers coming in during open hours, you are going to need to put a lot of thought into your doors, much more so than you do with the doors in your home. Your commercial doors are going to take on a lot of daily wear and tear. Some things you might not think can be a problem with them will be, and there are some maintenance tips you need to know if you are to keep your doors in proper working order. This article should prove to be helpful with your business doors.
Don't leave the doors open
It may seem like leaving the business doors open during business hours would be a good idea. It would seem like this would put less wear and tear on the because they won't be repeatedly open and close. However, having your heavy business doors held open only puts more stress on them. Plus, when they are open, there is the risk of them being slammed shut by forces such as strong winds, which is not easy on them. It's best to allow customers to open them on their own.
Recognize early signs of damage
While allowing customers to repeatedly open the doors each time they come and go is best, it still puts a lot of wear and tear on them. Watch the doors for things like sagging, excessive wear on the hinges, latches that are no longer properly aligned, broken levers, loose handles, and anything else that looks problematic.
Each day when you open the business and every night when you close, make sure the doors aren't making new sounds like pops or snaps. Make sure they move smoothly without getting stuck at any point, and check to make sure the locks are locking smoothly.
Have a locksmith tend to any concerns
If you have a sticky lock or any other issues that are causing the doors to perform any different than they normally do, you should have a commercial locksmith services provider come out immediately. Commercial doors that are already beginning to show signs of excessive wear will quickly get worse, and you can end up with a door that can be easily violated by thieves or vandals. Plus, there will be an increased risk of the heavy doors shutting on someone and injuring them when they are entering or exiting the business.
