A wheelchair user presses the blue handicap button, hears the opener hum, and watches the door stay shut. The latch is still holding it closed. Many buildings get around this by leaving the exit device unlatched all day. On the way out, a heavy push bar or a bottom rod that catches on footrests can stop that same visitor again. DMV Commercial Door Repair connects the exit device to the push button with electric latch retraction and replaces stiff bars with low-force touchpads. Visitors who once waited for help can now come and go on their own.

What we fix
ADA-Compliant Exit Devices That Work With Your Handicap Button
Many handicap entrances fall short on three details: a latch the opener can’t release, a push bar that takes a hard shove, and a bottom rod right where footrests and walkers hit the door. The latch causes the most trouble. To get the button working, staff often leave the device unlatched all day. That keeps the door unlocked until someone remembers to lock it again, and on fire-rated doors the shortcut isn’t allowed at all.
Our technicians start with the latch. Electric latch retraction pulls it back the moment the button is pressed. From there, low-force touchpads replace heavy push bars, and double doors lose their bottom rod where the fire rating allows. ADA handicap exit devices set up this way open easily for everyone and still lock at closing time.

The Checks Every ADA Exit Device Passes Before We Leave
ADA handicap exit devices only do their job if the door still protects the building and meets fire code. These rules keep both sides covered.
Secure from outside.
Ready from inside.
Latch Clears First
A short delay lets the latch retract fully before the opener pushes.
Manual Exit Always Works
The push pad releases the door by hand, with or without power.
Fire Doors Keep Latching
Rated doors keep fire exit hardware that latches every time they close.
Smooth Push Side
Hardware stays out of the bottom 10 inches wherever the opening allows.
Locked Again at Closing
Latches return to locked on schedule or when the door shuts.
Upgrade Before Replacing
If the current device can be retrofitted, we upgrade it before quoting a new one.

Someone smashed the glass on our storefront door around 9 PM. They had a crew out within the hour and boarded it up securely, then came back two days later with the new tempered glass. Professional and fast.

We manage several office buildings in Northern Virginia and use them for all our door hardware. Closers, panic bars, locks, they’ve handled it all. Always on time and the work is clean.

Our restaurant’s front door wouldn’t latch properly and it was a security issue. The tech diagnosed it quickly, replaced the hardware, and we were back open the same day. Fair price too.

Excellent communication from the first call. They gave an honest quote, showed up when they said they would, and the new glass doors look great. Highly recommend for any Maryland business.

Good work replacing the glass on our shop entrance. The scheduling took a day longer than expected because of a glass delivery, but the crew kept us updated and the result was solid.

Called after hours for an emergency board-up and a real person answered. The technician arrived quickly and left the site secure and tidy. That kind of service is rare.

Our automatic door closer kept failing and two other companies couldn’t fix it. These guys found the problem in minutes. Wish I had called them first.

Let Every Visitor Open Your Door Without Asking for Help.
For someone in a wheelchair, a heavy push bar is hard to press from a seated position. When the handicap button fails too, they’re left waiting at the door until a staff member notices. A free estimate from DMV Commercial Door Repair finds the stiff bars, failing buttons, and bottom rods that keep visitors with disabilities from getting in and out on their own.

A Few Things
You Might Be Asking.
Accessible exit devices. Clear answers.
How much does an ADA exit device upgrade cost?
Cost depends on whether the current device can take a retrofit kit or needs replacing with new ADA handicap exit devices. Power supplies, wiring runs, and fire-rated hardware add to the total. A door that already has an opener usually needs less work. A free on-site estimate gives the price for each door.
What makes an exit device ADA compliant?
The 2010 ADA standards call for door hardware that works with one hand and without tight grasping or twisting, mounted between 34 and 48 inches. They also reference a 5-pound limit on operating force. The push side must stay smooth within 10 inches of the floor on most doors.
Why won’t my handicap door open when I press the button?
In most cases, the latch is still holding the door closed. The opener can’t pull a latched door open on its own. Electric latch retraction or an electric strike releases the latch first. A failed power supply or a loose wire can cause the same problem.
Is there ADA exit device installation near me in the DMV?
Yes, anyone searching for ADA exit device installation near me in D. C., Maryland, or Northern Virginia can book a visit with our technicians. The service area covers Washington, D. C., Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax County. Call us to confirm an address.
Can I keep my exit device dogged so the handicap button works?
On a non-rated door, yes, though the door stays unlocked until someone undogs it. Fire-rated doors can’t be dogged at all. Electric latch retraction solves both problems by releasing the latch only when the button is pressed.
Do surface vertical rod exit devices meet ADA requirements?
The bottom rod often sits in the 10-inch zone that must stay smooth on the push side. Less bottom rod devices or concealed rods usually clear that zone. Some existing doors fall under exceptions, and a technician can check which applies.
Can an existing exit device be upgraded with electric latch retraction?
Many popular exit devices accept a retrofit kit that adds electric latch retraction without replacing the whole device. Older or discontinued models may need a new device. The free estimate confirms which option fits each door.
