Door Repair

Project 26960 – Hollow-Metal Steel Door Jamb Needs Reinforcement – $ 622.00 – 2014

The Old Navy store at Nyberg Woods in Tualatin Oregon.

An oversized merchandise-room hollow-metal steel door at the back of the store. These photos which our technicians took with their cell phones don’t always do an adequate job of documenting the issues at hand for the purposes of our portfolio here.

But if they did, you might be able to make-out the fact that the door is severely sagging and the top strike-edge of the door is hitting the strike-jamb which makes the door undependable for the purposes of security.

This has knocked the strike-jamb on this drywall hollow-metal steel jamb assembly loose as shown above. The bad-news is that the jamb miters are not welded, which has substantially contributed to the sagging issue. The good-news is that the…

…knocked-down door jamb makes removal of the jamb legs possible, so we could insert some additional structural support in the form of a 2X4 stud, which provides a form of shimming, as well as additional anchoring for our fasteners.

Augmentational custom brackets, shown here providing additional support for the strike-jamb on the store side of the opening.

A close-up shot shows how we aluminum-angle to fastened to both the steel strike-jamb-leg and to the adjoining stainless-steel wall protection plate.

It’s a rough looking bracket, but it’s fastened to the masonry-floor for substantive strength and it is on the storage-room side of the door opening where the flow of traffic, “both in and out” is least likely to stub it with their feet.

On the public-side of the door, we see here where we provided and installed a Markar B1923 Full Surface Reinforcing Pivot Hinge to further alleviate the propensity of this heavy door to sag away from the hinge-jamb side of the opening, for which these reinforcing hinges are designed.
