Commercial Entry Door and Hardware Maintenance

5 min readUpdated 2026-08-24By Blue Collar Cleaning Co.

The primary entry door cycles thousands of times per week. Neglect leads to sticky closers, drafty gaps, and eventually a $3,000-8,000 door replacement. Basic maintenance extends life by a decade.

Daily and Weekly

  • Clean glass inside and out (daily during business hours).
  • Wipe push plates and pulls with disinfectant (multiple times daily during flu season).
  • Sweep threshold and remove debris from track (daily).
  • Inspect weatherstripping for tears (weekly).

Monthly

  • Lubricate hinges and pivots with silicone spray.
  • Test door closer speed and adjust if needed.
  • Check auto-operator sensors and calibration.
  • Inspect ADA push button operation.

Annual

  • Rebuild or replace door closer.
  • Replace weatherstripping.
  • Rekey and lube lock hardware.
  • Inspect frame for anchor loosening.
  • Test panic hardware.
