Door Hardware NYC

A door closer controls how a door swings shut: too weak and it slams or never latches, too strong and tenants prop it open, which defeats the lock entirely. We install and adjust surface-mounted and concealed closers sized to the door's weight and traffic. On egress doors, panic hardware lets people exit with one push while the outside stays locked. We fit rim, vertical-rod, and mortise exit devices, and our panic bar installation covers code-required exits in commercial spaces. Both jobs are quick, and both pay off every day the door gets used.

Standard butt hinges wear out on heavy doors, and the first sign is a door that drags or won't latch without a shoulder behind it. We replace worn hinges with ball-bearing models, and on high-traffic entries we recommend continuous hinges, which run the full height of the door and spread the load across the entire frame. Down low, kick plates absorb the abuse from carts, deliveries, and feet so the door slab doesn't. Up top, sturdy commercial lever sets beat knobs for accessibility and survive heavy use far longer.

Hardware problems rarely travel alone. The closer that slams is often paired with a strike that's out of alignment and a hinge that's lost its bearings. We assess the full door — hinges, closer, lock, lever, plate, frame — and fix what's actually wrong instead of swapping one part at a time. If the slab or frame itself is shot, door repair and replacement is handled by the same team, so nothing falls between two contractors.
