Button-to-Close Test
A technician presses the button, walks through the door, and times how fast it opens, how long it waits, and how gently it closes.

A wheelchair user presses the blue button and waits, but the door never moves. Later that day, the same door swings shut too fast on a parent pushing a stroller. An automatic door that skips, stalls, or slams turns your entrance into the first complaint of the day. DMV Commercial Door Repair repairs and installs automatic door operators that open on the first press and close gently behind people, often in a single visit.
What we fix
Many opener problems start with a rushed install, like a door that tries to open while the lock is still holding it shut and strains the motor until it gives out. Others come set too fast, and the door swings at people instead of for them. Our technicians repair and set up automatic door operators to unlock first, open at a gentle pace, and wait long enough for slow walkers to get through. Your entrance works just as well for a teenager in a hurry as for a grandmother with a cane.

From our Google reviews

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.

They replaced the aluminum storefront doors at our D.C. retail location. The team was careful around customers and finished ahead of schedule. Great craftsmanship.

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.

Transparent pricing, no surprise fees, and quality safety glass. They explained the options and helped us pick what fit our budget. Will use them again.

Very knowledgeable team. They handled a cracked glass panel on our office door quickly and cleaned up completely afterward. Would use again.

Before you book
Automatic operators. Clear answers.
Price depends on the type of operator, which part has failed, and whether the door ties into a lock or card reader. Replacing a wireless push button is a small job, while a new motor or a full operator swap takes more parts and time. The free door check ends with one set price before work begins.
The most common causes are a dead battery in a wireless button, a receiver that lost its signal, a switch on the operator set to off, or a worn-out motor. A locked door can also block the opener from moving. A technician can test each part and find the cause in one visit.
A door that won't close usually has a stuck button, a sensor picking up movement, or a switch set to hold-open. Sometimes the wait time is simply set too long. Most of these are quick fixes once a technician checks the system.
It's the type of opener found on most ADA doors. It opens slowly when someone presses a button or gives the door a light push, and it moves at a speed meant to avoid hurting anyone. These doors can still be opened by hand when the power goes out.
Yes. The lock and the opener need to be wired to work together, with the lock releasing a moment before the door starts to move. When they aren't set up this way, the opener fights the lock and wears out early.
