Commercial Threshold Replacement

People often ask us, “What do you locksmiths do besides unlock houses and cars?” In short, we service anything in a door opening—from the threshold to the closer, and anything in between!

To the right you can see a gallery of before and after pictures from a recent commercial threshold replacement we provided at a local Sonic in Conway, Arkansas. This back exit at receives heavy use for trash removal as well as stock replenishment. As you can see from the first picture, the threshold took all the abuse it could stand! This problem presented not only an inconvenience, but a safety hazard as well due to the sharp edges of the aluminum sticking up at ankle height!

This door required a special rabbeted threshold that is not readily available at local hardware stores. This typ of threshold is common in food service applications for health department code compliance because they provide a seal around the full perimeter of the opening, preventing intrusion from insects, rodents, or windblown debris.

Next time your door is slamming, or won’t close, or won’t latch, or your key is difficult to turn in it—contact us! We will help you in the right direction so you can get back to your important work without distractions from your doors!
