Large Glass Door Repair at Joe & The Juice
The large, oversized glass entry door was scraping the threshold. The bottom pivot was worn, and the overhead concealed closer was leaning, causing the door to be out of alignment.
Solution: We removed the door and replaced all related hardware, including the bottom pivot set, overhead concealed closer, fasteners, and plates. Then, we rehung and tuned the door to factory-clearances.
What We Found
-
Worn bottom pivot bearing let the heavy glass door drop and drag on the threshold.
-
