Landmark Door Services
Historic Door Restoration & Repair
We restore and repair original entrance doors on historic and landmark buildings, preserving the look that gives these properties their character. That means re-hanging heavy doors, repairing frames and thresholds, matching period profiles and finishes, and refitting or reproducing era-appropriate hardware. Our door repair and commercial door crews work carefully so a repair blends into the original, rather than standing out.
Preservation & Code Compliance
Work on designated landmarks and buildings in historic districts often has to satisfy both preservation review and modern safety codes. We help match approved specifications, keep sightlines and materials consistent with the building, and reconcile fire-rating and accessibility needs with a historic appearance. For rated openings we coordinate fire-rated doors and commercial door assemblies that respect the original design.
Discreet Security & Hardware Upgrades
Landmark entrances can be far more secure without looking modern. We fit high-security, restricted-key cylinders such as Mul-T-Lock so keys can’t be copied, and we conceal upgrades behind original-style escutcheons and hardware. For larger properties we tie entrances into managed access control, set up master key systems, and provide ongoing commercial locksmith support.
Balanced Doors, Closers & Weatherproofing
Many landmark storefronts and lobbies use balanced doors, such as Ellison, that open easily even in wind or with full hands. We install, adjust, and repair balanced doors, closers, and pivots, and add discreet weatherstripping to cut drafts and noise without altering the look.
