On a tenant improvement job, doors and glass sit at the wrong end of the schedule. They go in late, they’re the last thing inspected, and they’re the first thing anyone notices if the punch list drags. A door package that shows up wrong or a glazing sub who can’t get there is how a turnover date slips.
All Pro Door Repair works with general contractors, tenant improvement crews and build-out teams across Dallas-Fort Worth. Here’s what we handle and how we fit into a job.
Doors, frames and hardware packages
Most TI door problems are ordering problems, not installation problems. Hand is wrong. The frame doesn’t match the wall type. The hardware set doesn’t match what the door needs, or a rated opening got specced with hardware that isn’t rated for it.
We furnish and install hollow metal doors and frames, aluminum storefront entries, and the hardware that goes with them: closers, pivots, exit devices, continuous hinges, locks and thresholds. We measure the actual opening rather than working off a drawing that may not match what got built, and the measurement is free.
If a job is behind and you need doors hung and hardware set on a specific day, tell us the date. That’s usually the real constraint, not the scope.
Glass, storefront and interior partitions
Glazing is where TI schedules get interesting, because glass has lead time and it doesn’t compress. Ordering the right thing the first time is most of the job.
We handle commercial glass and glazing, storefront systems and entrances, and glass partition walls, which show up in nearly every office build-out now. Glass offices and conference rooms keep daylight moving through a floor plate, and they’re a standard part of the modern TI package.
Two things worth flagging on a build-out. Glazing in a rated door or wall has to be a rated glazing product, and it isn’t interchangeable with ordinary glass. And storefront leaks are much cheaper to solve before ceilings and finishes go in than after the tenant moves in and water shows up on a new floor.
Overhead doors, demising walls and back of house
Industrial and retail TI work usually includes an overhead door somewhere: a new dock position, a rolling grille at a demising line, a counter shutter at a service window, or replacing a door the previous tenant destroyed.
We install and service sectional overhead doors, rolling steel doors and grilles, counter shutters, commercial operators and the springs and hardware that go with them. Details on our commercial overhead door page.
One spec worth getting right at install rather than fixing later: if the door will run high traffic once the tenant is operating, spring cycle rating should be sized for that from day one. Base commercial springs are commonly rated around 10,000 cycles, which a busy tenant burns through in months. It’s a small upcharge during construction and an expensive change order after.
Temporary security during construction
Between demo and turnover a space is wide open, and there’s usually equipment and material inside worth taking. We can secure openings during construction and handle board-up when a panel is out, then come back for the permanent glass and doors when the schedule calls for it.
Punch list and closeout
Doors generate punch list items reliably: a door that drags, one that won’t latch, a closer that slams, a threshold that isn’t sealed, a lock that wasn’t keyed to the tenant’s system.
Most of that is adjustment work, and it’s faster when one contractor owns the whole door and glass scope rather than three trades pointing at each other. We’ll walk the punch list and close out our items.
Common questions from GCs and project managers
Can you hit a specific install date?
Tell us the date up front and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works, including lead time on anything that has to be ordered. We’d rather say no early than miss it.
Can you field measure instead of working off drawings?
Yes, and we prefer it. Free measurement is standard for us, and openings as built frequently differ from what’s on the sheet.
Do you cover doors, hardware, glass and overhead doors, or just one scope?
All of it. On a TI job that’s the point, because it removes the coordination between three subs on overlapping work.
Can you work nights or weekends in an occupied building?
Yes. For TI work inside an occupied office or retail property, after hours is often the only workable window and we schedule for it.
