Good to know
A storefront door often fails at the worst moment, when a customer is at the glass or the shop is about to open. Most faults trace back to the pivots, the closer or the lock’s alignment. Regular adjustment prevents most of them. After a break-in, tell your insurer, photograph the damage and let us make the door safe before the permanent repair.
When this is not the right fix
Glass needs a glazier.
