Drive-Thru and Commercial Doors: Common Problems & Quick Fixes

At OC Glass Service, we know how frustrating it is when a commercial door stops working properly. A door that won’t close, broken glass, or a jammed drive-thru window can interrupt your entire business flow and create safety and security concerns.

From restaurants and pharmacies to retail stores, offices, and medical facilities, businesses throughout Los Angeles County, Long Beach, and Pasadena count on us for fast and reliable door glass repair services when they need them most.

Below are some of the most common issues we’re called out to fix, along with how our team handles them quickly and professionally.

1. Misaligned or Hard-to-Open Doors

If a commercial door is scraping the floor, dragging, or sticking when opening, the cause is usually:

• Heavy daily foot traffic

• Worn-out rollers or pivots

• Hardware or frame shifting over time

How We Fix ItWe start by diagnosing the alignment problem and then adjust or replace the necessary hardware. If the issue is urgent, we offer 24-hour sliding door repair services in Los Angeles County, so your entrance stays safe and functional without interrupting business.

2. Cracked or Broken Glass

Whether it’s from an accident, impact, vandalism, or weather damage, broken glass is both unsafe and an immediate security risk.

How We Fix ItWe provide fast on-site replacement and installation of durable safety glass door options, including:

• Door glass repair services 

• Tempered glass plate services

• Glassdoor replacement services

We often recommend tempered safety glass because it’s much stronger than standard glass and is designed to break into small, less dangerous pieces.

3. Sliding Doors That Won’t Close Properly

A sliding door that doesn’t glide smoothly or fails to seal completely can lead to energy loss and safety issues. Common causes include worn rollers, dirty tracks, or sensor problems.

How We Fix ItWe clean and realign tracks, replace rollers, and repair sensors to restore smooth operation. For businesses needing help quickly, our sliding glass door repair services in Pasadena are a fast way to get things back on track without shutting down operations.

4. Faulty Door Closers

Door closers are crucial for safety. When they fail, doors may slam shut, stay open, or require too much effort to move.

How We Fix ItOur team repairs and adjusts closers or replaces tempered glass plates in Long Beach when needed, ensuring safe and controlled movement for both staff and customers.

5. Emergency Breakage & After-Hours Board-Ups
