Our Exit Device Repair Process
When you contact Broadway Locksmith NYC for exit device repair at (646) 889-8926, our systematic approach ensures efficient, lasting solutions:
Initial Assessment: Our certified technician arrives at your 928 Broadway location or anywhere in Manhattan and performs a comprehensive inspection of the malfunctioning exit device. We test the push bar mechanism, examine the latch assembly, check door alignment, and verify proper strike plate engagement.
Diagnosis and Recommendation: We identify the root cause of the malfunction—whether it's worn internal components, improper installation, structural damage, or lack of maintenance. Our technician explains the issue clearly and recommends the most cost-effective repair solution.
Repair Implementation: Using professional-grade tools and manufacturer-approved replacement parts, we execute the necessary repairs. This may involve replacing worn springs, adjusting the trim, realigning the strike, lubricating moving parts, or replacing damaged components.
Testing and Verification: After completing repairs, we thoroughly test the exit device multiple times to ensure smooth operation, proper latching, and code compliance. We verify that the door opens with the required pressure (typically 15 pounds or less) and that all components function correctly.
Documentation: We provide detailed documentation of the repairs performed, parts replaced, and compliance with current fire and building codes—essential records for your facility maintenance files and inspection readiness.
