What Hollow Metal Door Problems Do We Fix?
Rust, dents, hinge tear-out, lock cutout damage, and frame spread. Hollow metal doors are the workhorses of commercial buildings. Stairwell doors, mechanical room doors, warehouse entries, and back-of-house exits. They take a beating and they rust in South Florida's humid, salt-air environment.
The most common issue is rust at the bottom edge where water sits. We cut out the rusted section, weld or patch a new steel plate, prime, and paint. It's far cheaper than a full door replacement. According to the Steel Door Institute, a properly maintained hollow metal door should last 30+ years. But 'properly maintained' rarely happens in practice.
Common Questions
How much does hollow metal door repair cost?
Minor dent repair or hinge reinforcement: $150-$250. Bottom rail rust repair: $200-$350. Frame spread repair: $250-$450. Full door replacement is $500-$1,200 and we can coordinate that too.
Can you fix a steel door that's rusted at the bottom?
Yes. We cut out the rusted portion, weld in new steel, and refinish. It restores structural integrity and looks clean. Much cheaper than replacing the entire door.
Do you fix door frames too?
Yes. See our door frame repair page. Frame and door work usually go together.
