We recently had the opportunity to assist a client located in Germantown, TN, 38139, just outside of East Memphis. The client reached out to us with a concern and asked, “Do locksmiths in Memphis come to Germantown to install door sweeps?” We were happy to respond, “Yes, we cover Memphis and the surrounding tri-state area. Locksmiths also handle door maintenance, including the installation of door sweeps.“

The client explained that their back commercial door was misaligned, shutting too quickly, and had visible gaps at the bottom, letting light and bugs in. They needed an adjustment to the door closer and installation of a door sweep to improve the situation. We assured them we could help!

When we arrived, we noticed that the door’s shoe had worn out completely, with no nylon or brush left to protect the gap. We installed a new door sweep on both the outside and inside of the door, eliminating any visible light. By tightening the sagging door hinges, we also improved the door’s alignment, giving the door a proper reveal. Not only does this fix help with keeping bugs out, but it also improves energy efficiency by stopping drafts—definitely a bonus!

We also took care of the door closer, which was swinging the door way too fast. Fast-swinging doors can cause injuries and add unnecessary strain to the doorframe, lockset, and hinges. After making some adjustments, the door now closes smoothly and at a safe speed, latching properly every time. The hollow metal door, which is common in commercial properties, is now functioning as it should—safe, secure, and energy-efficient.

This job wasn’t just about fixing one issue; it involved fine-tuning several aspects of the door to ensure long-lasting performance.

Here are some of the tools we used for the job:

• Flathead and Phillips screwdrivers
• Measuring tape
• Pliers
• Sheet metal screws
• Door alignment tools
• Door reveal check
• National Guard door sweeps installation
