A sagging storefront door is more than an annoyance. It drags on the threshold, struggles to latch, and eventually stops locking properly, which leaves your business exposed. One of the most reliable fixes for a worn-out aluminum storefront door is replacing the old hinges with a full-length continuous hinge.

Before and after: continuous hinge replacement on an aluminum storefront door at a veterinary clinic in the GTA.

Signs your storefront door hinges are failing


  • The door sags and drags on the threshold or the floor

  • There is a visible gap at the top corner on the lock side

  • The door no longer latches or locks without being pushed or lifted

  • Grinding, scraping or clicking noises when the door swings

  • Loose screws, cracks or worn pivots on the hinge side of the frame


Why a continuous hinge?


A continuous hinge runs the full height of the door, so the weight of the door is spread along the entire frame instead of resting on two small pivot points. That keeps the door aligned, reduces sagging, and holds up to the heavy daily traffic that storefront doors in plazas, clinics, restaurants and offices deal with every day.


This job: a veterinary clinic entrance door


This clinic's aluminum entrance door was failing on the hinge side, the area marked in red in the before photo. We removed the worn hardware and installed a heavy-duty continuous hinge along the full height of the door. The result is a door that swings smoothly, sits square in the frame, and closes and locks securely again.


Don't wait until the door fails


A sagging door gets worse with every opening. Left alone, it puts strain on the closer, the lock and the frame, and it can end with a door that won't close at all. Fixing the hinge early is almost always faster and cheaper than dealing with an emergency. If it does fail, Pro Commercial Doors offers 24/7 emergency commercial door repair.
