Completed Project
This Heavy Steel Door Needed Better Support
The active leaf of this heavy commercial steel double door needed better support. The existing door and frame could remain in service, so the repair focused on the hinge side.
DoorWin installed one full-height continuous geared hinge and checked the repaired opening for movement, alignment and clearance.
