Commercial Door Hardware: Locks, Closers, Exit Devices, Panic Hardware & Hinges

When a business door won't latch, a closer slams, or an exit device sticks, it's more than an inconvenience — it's a security gap and a code liability. Since 1977, Doors of Pontiac has kept Oakland County's storefronts, offices, schools, and warehouses locking, closing, and swinging the way they should. We're your hometown commercial door hardware experts, not an out-of-state call center, and our factory-trained technicians install and repair every grade of hardware, from a single deadbolt to a full opening.

From our Waterford Township showroom on Highland Road, we serve Pontiac, Waterford, and the surrounding communities with free estimates and same-day service where possible. Facility managers and small-business owners have trusted us for decades — 4.9 stars across 1,500-plus reviews, more than 500 of them five-star. Whether you need a code-compliant panic bar, a hands-free closer, or heavy-duty hinges rebuilt on a door that's dropped, we bring the right parts and the local know-how to get you buttoned up fast.

Commercial Locks & Access Hardware

The lock is the first thing customers, employees, and would-be intruders test — so it needs to be the right grade for the job. We install and service the full range of commercial locking hardware, matched to your traffic level, insurance requirements, and building code. Whether you're rekeying after a staff change, upgrading to keyless entry, or hardening a back door that's taken abuse, we'll spec hardware that holds up and stays serviceable for years.

We work with mortise locks, cylindrical (bored) locksets, deadbolts, storefront hook bolts, electric strikes, and keypad and fob-based access control. Our technicians understand the difference between a light-duty Grade 3 lock and the Grade 1 hardware a high-traffic entrance demands, and we'll tell you straight which one your opening actually needs — no upselling, no guesswork.

  • Mortise & cylindrical locksets rekeyed, repaired, or replaced
  • Commercial deadbolts and storefront hook/pivot bolts
  • Electric strikes, keypads, fobs, and access control integration
  • Master-key systems so one key runs your whole building
  • ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 hardware for high-traffic entrances

Door Closers: Hydraulic, Surface & Concealed

A door closer does quiet, essential work — pulling a door shut every time so it latches, seals, and stays secure. When a closer fails, you get doors that slam, drift open, leak conditioned air, or won't close far enough to lock. We repair and replace surface-mounted, concealed overhead, and floor-spring closers, and we tune the sweep and latch speeds so the door closes firmly without becoming a hazard.

Proper closer adjustment also keeps you ADA-compliant — opening force and closing time both fall under accessibility requirements, and we set them to spec. If your closer is leaking oil, has lost its back-check, or simply wears out a door faster than it should, we'll get it swinging right again, often the same day.

Exit Devices & Panic Hardware

Panic hardware and exit devices aren't optional in most commercial and assembly occupancies — they're required by fire and building code so people can get out fast in an emergency. We install, repair, and code-certify rim, mortise, surface vertical rod, and concealed vertical rod exit devices, plus the exterior trim, pulls, and electrified options that go with them. For fire-rated openings, we make sure your panic hardware is UL-listed and matched to the door's rating.

Common problems we fix: push bars that don't retract the latch, alarmed exits that won't reset, dogged devices that won't secure after hours, and vertical rods that have gone out of adjustment and let the door rattle. If an inspector has flagged an opening, or you're just not sure your building is compliant, we'll walk your doors and tell you exactly what it takes to pass.

  • Rim, mortise & vertical-rod exit devices installed and serviced
  • Fire-rated, UL-listed panic hardware for code compliance
  • Electrified exit devices, delayed egress & alarmed hardware
  • Exterior trim, keyed levers, and pull retrofits
  • Inspection prep so your openings pass the fire marshal

Commercial Hinges & Door Reinforcement

Heavy commercial doors live and die by their hinges. A steel or aluminum storefront door swung thousands of times a week will eventually sag, bind, or tear its hinge screws out of the frame — and once a door drops, nothing else on it works right. We replace worn butt hinges, install heavy-duty ball-bearing and continuous (geared) hinges, and reinforce frames and jambs that have loosened over time.

Continuous hinges are our go-to for abused, high-cycle openings: they spread the load along the entire door edge, eliminate the sag point, and dramatically extend the life of the whole assembly. If your door scrapes the threshold, won't stay open, or the gaps have gone crooked, the fix usually starts at the hinges — and we'll square the opening back up so your locks and closers work as designed.

FAQ — Commercial Door Hardware: Locks, Closers, Exit Devices, Panic Hardware & Hinges

Do you install code-compliant panic hardware and exit devices?

Yes. We install and repair rim, mortise, and vertical-rod exit devices, including UL-listed fire-rated panic hardware. We match every device to your door's rating and occupancy requirements, and we can prep your openings so they pass fire-marshal and building inspections. Call 248-666-9777 to schedule a walkthrough.

Can you rekey or master-key our commercial building?

Absolutely. We rekey commercial locks after staff changes and design master-key systems so one key can operate an entire building while sub-keys limit access by area. We also install keypads, fobs, and electric strikes for keyless access control. Request a free estimate and we'll spec the right setup for your facility.

My door closer slams or won't latch — can you fix it same day?

Often, yes. Slamming, drifting, or leaking closers are one of our most common commercial calls, and we stock surface, concealed, and floor-spring closers. We'll repair or replace the unit and tune the sweep and latch speeds to ADA spec. Same-day service is available where possible — call 248-666-9777.

Do you handle commercial hinges on heavy storefront doors?

Yes. We replace worn butt hinges, install heavy-duty ball-bearing and continuous (geared) hinges, and reinforce sagging frames on steel, aluminum, and glass storefront doors. Continuous hinges are ideal for high-traffic openings that keep dropping. We'll square the door back up so your locks and closers work correctly again.
