Feeling the chill creep in recently? We get it—this isn’t frozen, and we’d prefer not to be the next ice sculpture. A drafty commercial door can make even the coziest place feel like a frigid tundra. It’s not just uncomfortable; it can drive up energy costs and slow down your team. But don’t worry, we’ve got answers! As Chicago’s go-to commercial door repair experts, we know a thing or two about keeping your business warm and cozy.

So, what’s causing that chill? Here are the most common culprits:

  • Worn weatherstripping: When this wears out, your door loses its protective barrier against the cold.

  • Gaps and cracks: When this wears out, your door loses its protective barrier against the cold.

  • Loose hinges: Loose hinges can cause your door to sag and hang abnormally, creating gaps and letting in cold air. It’s kind of like having a door that doesn’t want to stay closed—incredibly frustrating.

Now I know this can be a real headache, but stick with me.

Before you call in the pros, try these DIY solutions:

  1. Check the weatherstripping: Is it cracked, brittle, or worn out? If it’s damaged or worn, replace it with new material.

  2. Tighten loose hinges: Tighten them up and see if that helps your commercial door. This usually resolves issues with alignment.

  3. Seal the gaps: Use caulk or weatherstripping to fill any gaps around the door frame.

  4. Add a door sweep: This simple addition can block under-door drafts effectively. Suspiciously simple, but surprisingly very effective. Trust us on this one.
