The Challenge

Both sets of main entrance doors were rubbing together which hindered the ADA door operations.

Our Solution

Our solution began with a thorough examination of the main entrance doors. We discovered that the pins, which help to hold the door in place and allow for smooth operation, were worn out and potentially misaligned, causing the doors to rub together. We removed the old, worn-out pins from the door hinges. The pins were then replaced with new ones that would provide better support to the doors. After this, we carefully adjusted all the doors to ensure they would no longer rub together when opening or closing.

Results Accomplished

The result of this solution was significant improvement in the functionality of the main entrance doors. They no longer rubbed together when being opened or closed, preventing damage and noise. The doors also operate smoother and safer, due to the proper alignment and the more robust support from the new pins.
