Storefront Glass and Door Repair in Boca Raton, FL
Your front door is the first thing a customer touches. When it drags, will not latch, or has a cracked panel, people notice before anyone says a word.
Atlantic Window Repair services, replaces, and installs storefront glass and commercial entry doors for shops, offices, restaurants, and medical suites across Boca Raton, Florida. We have worked on commercial storefronts here since 2020.
We are a licensed and insured commercial contractor. Our in-house technicians do the work, carry common door parts on the truck, and quote on site for free.
When only the glass in the door itself is broken and the door still closes and locks, the job is commercial door glass replacement: the panel is swapped and the door stays in the opening. Everything else on the storefront, from the fixed glass and framing to the closer, hinges, and locks, is covered on this page.
Storefront Glass Repair and Replacement
A storefront is a system: fixed glass lites, aluminum framing, gaskets that hold the glass in place, and the entry door set into it. When one part fails, the rest of the front starts to leak, rattle, or look neglected. Our commercial glaziers repair and replace every part of that system on standard and impact storefronts across Boca Raton.
Cracked and Broken Storefront Glass
Cracked, chipped, and shattered lites are replaced one panel at a time, so the rest of the front stays in place and the business keeps its doors open. Minor damage is repaired where the glass allows it, and a lite that affects safety or security is replaced rather than patched.
Gaskets, Seals, and Glazing Hardware
Worn gaskets and glazing seals are behind most storefront leaks, drafts, and rattling panels. We replace the gaskets, setting blocks, and glazing stops that hold each lite, so the glass sits tight in the frame and water stays outside.
Full Glass, Frame, and Door Replacement
When the framing is corroded or bent, or the storefront is simply past its service life, we replace the glass, the frame, or the complete door, in standard or impact-rated versions. On an impact storefront, the new glass and framing match the rating of the system coming out.
Tint and Sound Control Upgrades
Replacement is also the right moment to improve the front. Tinted glass cuts heat and glare on sun-facing storefronts, and laminated sound-control glass takes the edge off traffic noise for offices and medical suites facing busy roads.
Most storefront glass repairs are scheduled for the next day. Custom tempered, laminated, and impact units are made to order, and we plan the installation around your busiest hours so customers can keep coming in.
Storefront Door Repair: What Usually Fails
When a commercial door stops working, it is almost always one of a short list of parts. Most of these are fixed in a single visit.
- - Door closer. The arm at the top. When it fails, the door slams, drifts, or stops closing all the way.
- - Hinges and pivots. Worn or sagging hinges and pivots let the door drop, drag on the threshold, or miss the strike. We adjust or replace them so the door swings and latches properly.
- - Locks, latches, and panic hardware. The most common call. The latch and the keeper stop lining up and the door will not lock.
- - Frame. Bent, spread, or racked out of square, usually after an impact.
- - Weather seals and thresholds. Worn sweeps let water, air, and insects under the door.
- - Automatic operators. Sensors, motors, and controls on automatic swing and slide doors.
If the door is genuinely past repair, we say so and quote the replacement instead of stretching a fix that will not hold.
Door Types We Work On
Three materials cover almost every commercial door in South Florida.
Aluminum is the default. It is light, it resists corrosion in salt air, and it accepts clear, tinted, laminated, and impact-rated glass. Most retail, restaurant, and office doors here are aluminum framed.
Full-glass doors are mostly glass with minimal framing. Retail and hospitality spaces use them for visibility. They are heavy, and both installation and glass repair need careful handling.
Steel doors, usually hollow metal, go where security matters more than looks: back-of-house entrances, utility rooms, and service corridors. They need reinforced frames and heavy-duty hardware.
We also handle the commercial entry door as a whole system, frame and hardware included, through our new door installation service.
When Replacement Is the Right Call
We quote a new door when repair will not hold. That means:
- The frame is bent, corroded through, or racked out of square
- The door is an obsolete system with no parts available
- Storm or vehicle impact has damaged the structure, not just the glass
- The opening is being reconfigured as part of a build-out
Full unit installation covers aluminum, full-glass, steel, and impact-rated doors, manual or automatic.
Emergency Door Repair in Boca Raton
A commercial door that will not lock is not a next-week problem. Break-ins, storm damage, and vehicle impacts leave the property open to theft and weather.
Our trucks carry board-up materials, temporary security hardware, and common door parts. We secure the opening first, then assess the damage and give you options.
Scheduled work runs Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday, 10 AM to 2 PM.
Storefront glass without impact protection can be boarded ahead of a hurricane, and a front that has already been damaged is secured during our visit and stays covered until the new glass is in. Both run through our emergency board up service.
Impact-Rated Storefront Doors
Impact-rated doors use laminated glass in a reinforced aluminum frame, engineered to take windborne debris without the opening failing.
Whether your property needs one depends on its location, its wind zone, and the scope of the work. Those rules vary by municipality and building type, and your local building department is the authority on what applies to your job. We install impact-rated storefront door systems and can walk you through the options for your opening before you commit to anything.
Storefront Glass Beyond the Door
The door is one part of a storefront. Fixed glass panels, transoms, office windows, and interior partitions fall under commercial glass repair, and impact glazing on commercial openings runs through hurricane impact glass replacement. Scratched or etched glass sometimes comes out through glass polishing rather than a replacement panel.
On the residential side, patio sliders are covered by sliding glass door repair, and lock and latch failures by sliding door lock repair.

We work directly with whoever is making the decision on the job: business tenants, property owners, building managers, and general contractors. On multi-tenant properties we coordinate with management on access and scheduling, and we handle recurring work through our property management service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix a door closer without replacing the door?
Yes, we can. A closer that slams the door, lets it drift, or stops short of latching is adjusted or replaced on its own, and the door, frame, and glass stay as they are.
What types of storefront doors do you repair?
Aluminum storefront doors, full-glass commercial doors, and steel hollow metal doors, manual and automatic. That covers closers, hinges, locks and panic hardware, glass panels, frame alignment, weather seals, and automatic operators. If you are not sure your door fits, call and describe it.
My door will not lock. Is that a repair or a replacement?
Nearly always a repair. A door that will not lock is usually a latch out of alignment with its keeper, a worn strike, or a sagging pivot letting the door drop. All three are parts-level fixes, not reasons to buy a new door.
Can you secure the opening if the glass is shattered?
The opening gets boarded on the first visit, and the board comes off when we return with the new panel, so the space is never left open overnight waiting on glass.
Does my commercial door need to be impact-rated?
That depends on the property, its wind zone, and what work you are doing. The requirements differ by municipality and building type, so the building department is the place to confirm. We can look at your current door and lay out the options.
How long does a commercial door installation take?
A single standard door is normally one visit. Double doors, automatic systems, and multi-door projects get scoped and scheduled in advance, and we give you the timeline as part of the quote.
Can you work with my property manager or general contractor?
Yes, and often we do. We deal with owners, managers, contractors, and tenants, and we fit into whatever the decision-making structure on the property happens to be.
Do you charge for the on-site quote?
No, we don't. The assessment is free for both repair and installation work, and the measurement happens during that visit so nothing has to be repeated.
